the bag is long 1 suitable for low kick.....
where can me find me such a long bag ????

try the army surplus stores at beach road, look for "ali baba" bags. It's been so many years since my NS days, I can't really remember how long Ali Baba bags are, but I think they're around 1.5m long, should make a nice bag.

They're canvas though, so you might need to wrap some duct tape over the parts you want to kick, or it'll be tough on your skin.

its called a BAJA bag.

Sure. Apache you also want sir? F-22 we also have, but last piece, you want must put deposit now.

ROD loh!!! Or issit ORD now....

thankx alot !!!!!!hahax i will try makin 1 bag iif the result i will tell u all !!!!

ORD lor... 10 more years of reserves sianz....! but think I'm going for a down pes... HEHE!

I think I rather buy a bag... I've a sandbag back in SG now. But thinking of getting a fairtex banana bag for low kicks.

pls share share your keng-ing downgrade methods ley...

gee, I wish someone would teach us "gringos" some S'pore slang... these threads kill me

why don't you make 2... 1 for low kicks and hanging beside it the one for middle and high shots?

wat u mean hellfighter???
is it u mean make 2 bag 1 for punch , 1 for kick ??/
and btw does gym in thailand make bag theirselve ???

I don't speak Singaporean, that's what I mean!!!

as for the bag thingo, exactly what I said... make 2 bags, 1 for low techniques and another for waist and above techniques and hang them accordingly beside eachother

some Gyms make their own, but most buy them

okx thx alot hellfighter.....
hahax

hmm so did anyone actually made their own bag? i got a spare "ali baba" bag which i prob might try to diy with.

problem is how much space do you need? e.g. to hang up the bag, and leave room to kick and punch? I was thinking of hanging it up at the chinup bar at my door, but on 2nd thoughts, i won't have any room to kick (prob could only execute push kicks).

If u guys seriously made a bag heavy enough for kicking it'll be like 50-80kgs ?

1) Where would u gather so much old cloth if buying them from the junk yard won't the addition of transportation cost a fair bit ?

2) If the bags are indeed 50-80kgs self made, U might spend more getting a contractor to hang it up for u

3) if its too light then theres no point U can get china made ones for $50-80 from mustafas

So why bother making ur own bag when u can go down to ur gyms off training hours and do ur own bag work ? Either that or the effort of making the bag would be alot more than just buying a 2nd hand PVC bag perhaps.

hahaha i thought i was the only one thinking of using a spare ali baba bag as a heavy bag for training.

this thread comes in good time.

ali baba bag (army duffel bag):

i might check out mustafa's for the $80 ones. might take me ages to fill the ali baba bag up with old cloth. not sure i have that much to spare or that much time to source for some.

i might also hang it from a wrought iron stand meant for rattan swings. anybody knows anyone with an old wrought iron stand lying around collecting dust?

ps: i have two army duffel bags. don't ask me how i got the spare one let me know if anyone wants it.

hmmmm. . . (thinking) . . . . .

i agree with most of the stuff yakuza has raised, except the last part. haha it definitely makes a difference to have a bag at home.
If you fill your bag with sand, its gonna be real ugly when there's moisture. But if you get find perfectly dry sand (best bet: construction areas?) you can perhaps seal it up with some kind of airtight, waterproof bag before placing it into the alibaba bag or whatever. haha and the wrought iron stand ain't gonna work very well - doubt it can hold weight for long / give good balance

Hi
Got myself a 36inch punching bag for home use. Most probably good for punching only. I think i'm not hanging it properly. Can anyone tell me how high off the ground should the bag be? Better if you can tell me at which part of my body should the base of the bag be, when i'm standing next to it?

Thanks

That's a 3 ft... yeah, it's good for punching and high kicks, should be hanged so the top is a bit higher than you so you could do elbows as well.
hth

Thanx for the fast reply. Was not expecting one till maybe tomorrow as everyone might be at the FWA Singapore Open today. Thanx again

Hmm any idea where can i get a cheap punching bag?

What about using rice grains?
or if you want to use sand, mix it with rice grains, it absorbs th moisture.

and make cement, then buy a membership to the bone clinic.

hahahaha. cant u use a mixture? of like th really soft sand,rice grains and fabric?

No bro, we covered this 1000 times. The bags are filled with CLOTH - as in rags - ONLY. Not sand, not wood, not rice, not noodles, no pets, money or other any foreign objects.

hahaha okay sorry. got it. Thanks. =]

what about baked beans? baked beans can?

Yeah, the cans can

Fill a punching bag with a can? Are you serious?

rice bag cannot right?
since it will be easily torn

CLOTH/rags only No sand, no rice, etc...

What I meant was using rice sack instead of duffel bag

It won't be long enough or heavy enough for anything useful I think.

lol :/
just for fun
can punch though haha

after using the rice in the punching bag, can take out to make porridge? because the rice ish more chui aleady then the porridge welly smoot and nice put century egg and some pork can eat after the tiring punching

I think it's more important not to let your mother/wife find out about this or else you'll be eating porridge for a whole different reason...

It's filled with old clothes, not rice haha
