Looking to buy a punching bag for your at-home boxing space? These bags are fighter-tested--3 real fighters punch & kick their hardest to find a winner and answer to "Which punching bag is the best?"

Here’s how to decide between a free-standing bag & a hanging bag.

As at-home workouts have become the new normal, many of us have been seeking a way to improve the way we exercise at home. Many have found combat sports to be an effective exercise. Whether it is kickboxing, boxing, mixed martial arts (MMA) or something in between, there is one piece of equipment that is essential: the punching bag.

Is a Punching Bag Worth It?

The short answer is yes. A punching bag allows you to practice almost every move that you would use in a traditional boxing or kickboxing match. Practicing against air can only get you so far--this is known as shadowboxing. A punching bag gives you resistance and the illusion of an opponent. This way, you can figure out your own style of fighting. That, combined with the stress relief that comes from hitting the bag for a while, makes a punching bag well worth the cost.

Is a Standing Punching Bag Better Than a Hanging Punching Bag?

This is mostly up to the individual. It depends on your needs and your space. Both hanging punching bags and free-standing punching bags have advantages and disadvantages.

Hanging Punching Bags
Pros
More resistance
Multiple workout variations
Do not take up a lot of floor space
Able to swing which simulates a real fight more than a bag that doesn’t swing. This can be helpful for training.

Cons
Can be tricky to install
Require a lot of room to accommodate the swinging motion
Not portable

Free-Standing Punching Bags
Pros
Portable
Do not take up much open space
Offer a different level of resistance and weight
Easy to set up, not requiring hooks or brackets for installation

Cons
Typically not be as stable and can topple over
Typically not as durable
Not able to swing

When choosing a bag, make sure to evaluate what you will be using it for. This will help you when it comes to selecting and purchasing the right punching bag for you.

What Is The Best Punching Bag To Buy?

Over the years many companies have released all sorts of punching bags, some are high quality and well worth the money, while others are better left…at the store. Buying your first punching bag can be intimidating, especially if you are new to combat sports.

The three (3) free-standing bags that have been “fighter-tested” by our FightCamp trainers are featured in this video. They put them through “stress tests”, consisting of one-minute constant kickboxing combinations and boxing punch combinations. All three of these bags can be purchased online or at most sporting goods stores.

It can be overwhelming when trying to decide what punching bag to buy. But once you decide on your needs, your space, and the price you’re willing to pay, a punching bag will be a valuable investment for your at-home boxing space and will help you train better and more effectively.
