Can this withstand kicks aswell as punches?

This is a great training bag. Yes, it can handle very powerful kicks as well as punches. We have several of these Wavemasters in our tae kwon do academy. I do not recommend wearing shoes when striking the bag as this may decrease the life of the product.

Yes. Although we only have ours filled with water only (no sand) it is durable for kicking. However, it is not the same as kicking a 100-lb heavy bag. It will get knocked over with a good kick or punch. Still, in a small room or apartment it works well for speed kicks and punches.

Very yes. I'm a Taekwondo guy, and I've kicked the stuffing out of these for years with considerable force.

Yes. You need to fill the base with water or sand. We bought ours in September and it's the same exact style and brand from my son's Tae Kwon Do school where there are many amazing black belts who practice on this equipment every day.

You can punch this with only handwraps. Quite soft. You could potentially scuff your knuckles but doubtful. No way you can bruise them though.

I don't know if you can add any larger size punches. I use a block of wood under the gasket material. Do not use metal, you will ruin the punch.

No it doesn't handle hard punches. My 10 yr old hits it too hard and it buzzes saying too hard, may damage the machine. Good question! I wish it was able to withstand aggressive punching, but that's not the case. Killer cardio workout though.

No Michael it can not. It does okay with softer material such as practice weapons.

Im a personal trainer. My pad has been kicked by clients from 110 lbs up to 280 lbs. It is a great product, i even strap it down and use it for kicks and use a baseball bat for wood choppers with clients. We also use it for ground and pound by trapping it with one knee. Great product that takes a beaten. It is thick but you want that so it will absorb the impact. I will buy another when it wears out. Brandon

You can duel with it but it is not designed to take a beating. You will want one of those more durable ones that are available.

Yes, you do. It will keep the stand from moving around when you punch and kick the bag. Unfortunately yes, it will be an additional purchase for you

It is pretty tough. I use it with boxing dummy. You should look for rubber. This is hard plastic. I would hit back of you hit me with this. Ha. Just saw they say this IS rubber. Unless I didn't even realize that when I got it, it didn't bother me.

Oh, It can hold up to play fighting. My two year old daughter bangs it around and its fine.

I would lip say no. This is like any other dual layer case. but it's the best one IV ever had. Kick stand is nice and sturdy. The lip that over hangs the face is small, making it easier to pay the menu and back button.

It depends on where the weight bags are packed. Mine came pretty poorly packed and I chose to repacked it keep the weight in the middle and center from top to bottom so mine is fine for kicking. Some people chose to put half of the weight at the bottom, but its preference.Btw, 100lbs in this size bag is very dense to kick. I would suggest a full length MMA bag for better versatility and more appropriate weight distribution over this one.

Yes, If you are doing light sparring, a full force Blow will dent this mask. I Highly recommend back of the head protection and a gorget even for light sparring.

Yes, it is. With four bolts on the feet, it should withstand a karate kick.

After owning it for a year, I would definitely say that it will hold up in a personal training studio. It's commercial gym quality and I've had no issues with wear or anything breaking. I can't say how it is compared to Hammer Strength, but I can say that you won't be disappointed.

We use this for jian shu sparring (steel core with poly cover) with full sword strike, punch and kick allowed and it is taking a beating well. I agree with the other person that.at leas a little moleskin if not ear plugs (wouldn't be a good idea with jian shu) is a good idea as it can get ringy without.

By my standards, if you just hit it against something very hard, it will break. But if you just use it in battles and don't fall against it, it will be fine
