Boxing bags - choose the right model in the Sportano shopBoxing bags are an integral part of boxing training and many other combat sports. Not only do they provide a solid target for punches, but they also help to improve technique, strength and precision. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced boxer, a properly selected boxing bag is the key to effective training.
In the Sportano sports shop you will find high-quality boxing bags from proven brands such as DBX BUSHIDO, LEONE 1947, YOKKAO, 4F or MANTO. Materials and construction: what are the characteristics of boxing bags? Boxing bags are a key component of any training room or home sports corner. Although they may appear simple in construction, a lot of engineering work goes into their design to meet the requirements of boxers at different levels of fitness.
Materials: as boxing bags are regularly exposed to intense impact, they need to be made from high-strength materials. Natural leather is one of the most commonly used materials due to its durability and flexibility. Synthetic leather, such as PU, is an alternative to natural leather, often cheaper and equally resistant. Some bags are made of durable polyester or nylon fabrics, which are lightweight but still resistant to abrasion.
Filling: the heart of a boxy bag lies in its filling. Traditional bags were filled with sand or grain, but these can become too hard after some use. Modern boxing bags often contain a mix of materials such as fabric fibres, foam and sometimes water to provide adequate shock absorption. The padding affects the overall weight of the bag, which is crucial for the type and intensity of training.
Construction: in addition to the materials, the construction of the bag is crucial to its functionality. Robust stitching and reinforcements ensure that the bag can withstand hours of training sessions. The loops to which chains or ropes are attached must be extremely strong to prevent the bag from detaching during intense impact. Some bags also have reinforced bottoms to increase their durability and prevent excessive wear in the most impact-prone areas.
Weight and size: how do you choose the right bag for the intensity of your workout?
in terms of training intensity?Choosing the right boxing bag is one of the most important steps in preparing for boxing training. The right bag is crucial for developing technique, punching power and overall endurance. It is important to understand how the weight and size of the bag affects training and what criteria to consider when choosing one.
Bag weight: many novice boxers make the mistake of choosing the wrong weight bag. A heavier bag is ideal for those who want to increase their punching power, as it requires more effort to punch. A lighter bag, on the other hand, is great for speed and coordination training, but may not offer enough resistance for advanced boxers.
Bag size: the size of the bag is closely related to its weight. Large bags, often referred to as heavy bags, are great for strength and endurance training. They give the boxer the opportunity to practice different punching techniques at different heights. Smaller bags, on the other hand, are great for training speed, reflexes and precision.
Individual needs: the final choice of bag depends on the individual needs of the boxer. Beginner boxers may start with lighter bags to learn correct technique before moving on to heavier models. Advanced athletes may need several different bags to train different aspects of boxing technique.
When choosing a boxing bag, it is important to consider both weight and size in the context of your own training goals. The correct bag will help to maximise the benefits of your training, while keeping you safe and comfortable.
