Has anyone tried this for MMA-type activities? Does it hold up well to hard kicks and punches?

no....no.. it isn't designed for that much frontal inpact, which your not going to have snowboarding.

If you have to use this for MMA the sport may not be for you. Just purchase regular sparring gear.

The bag is made of this thread material, kinda like canvas but with more of a plastic feel.The material will cause something like a rug burn and will tear skin off if practicing without gloves.Best bag alternative?Either kofightgear (damn good bag)Outslayer bags are pretty good too with that 10 year warranty.Both are rag filled so they won't break your sons knuckles, and both are better than this bag (trust me, ripped on me after a month of use)

I do not know anything about Jiu Jitsu or wrestling so cannot answer if the mats are suitable for those activities. I have the mat over cement on my basement floor and it works very well for aerobics, yoga as well as stretching and strength exercises

excuse me, i could not understand your question. but i use this just for training. not for professional purposes. this is for mixed martial arts. for kung fu, mui tai, wing chun, or else..

Yes, it is built to take abuse, mine gets thrown around a lot and it has the shoulder cushions so the weight doesn't kill you. I have loaded mine with "tactical" equipment and it has held up great.

It does hold up well but you can feel the hits as it is not very thick. I teach krav maga and my students use it for combat training

It works fine for me for use in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. We use thick mats for the flooring. Not sure what sport you play but if you get slammed hard or do hard shoots you might feel it. Also depends on your knees. It does provide protection but I'm not sure what kind of sport you're referring to. Sometimes I do feel a little shock still.

Hi Sharon -- The bag material is pretty thin, but I am finding it to be rather durable. It should be able to handle the TKD gear in pretty good shape. I'm happy with the bag thus far.

My guess is it was overfilled! Mine is still going strong and used for both punches and kicks

A large weapon such as a 2x4 you would certainly feel. Any bladed weapon will go right through. The construction is made of padding hard plastic and padding on the inside. It is light and flexible and good for MMA style training. I would say on a scale of 1-10 you would feel a 7.

Can you please tell me if is recommendable to use it for working out (Squats, Dead lift etc...)

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

I am 5'9 and 195 lb, also fairly muscular. I bought the 5 black and it was a bit big. I used it for a year and it was very good but big. I think #4 will be good for you, it is decent quality, one of the g's ripped during a JJitsu practice. But the guy I was fighting was a beast, so I still think the quality is decent for everyday practice.

It can definitely handle kid combat, it's a solid toy, not just a costume prop. Hope that helps!

It would definitely be useful working out with dumbells. I use mine for just about every activity I do which includes working out with dumbells. Can't beat the price.

It is OK. It is a little harder to move around than it looks on the commercials. It is good for toning, not so great for building a lot of muscle mass. All in all it is good for the price, it will be hard to find something more versatile for less than $200.

No, I don't think so. I think I read that it is not for martial arts. There are different mats for rolls and breakfalls which would be thicker and softer that this. I LOVE this for jump rope and free-weight training and body-weight exercise, but it's not suitable for more impact than that.
