kickboxing bags Is there a difference between punching and kickboxing bags? Are some bags designed specifically for kicking, and some just for boxing?

Not really. There is no difference INSIDE the bag based on punching or kicking. However, the size of the bag will dictate if "punches only" is a better idea. If its smaller and lighter, then kicks aren't going to be great on it. Also, to practice low kicks, you need a long bag, like a Muay Thai or "banana" bag.

Yes since some are smaller and which less than others the smaller like 100lbs is good for punching and bigger you can still punch but you need hard gloves and I know it sucks there should be a bag made for both

The tools are made of metal and can be used to punch holes in materials such as, leather. In my experience with these punches, they needed to be sharpened before they could be used on any material. I would suggest buying a better quality set.

I'm not totally sure what you mean by punched. If you mean like a small hole punch for threading something through then the answer is no.

If he punched it nonstop for from now until 2020 that may be possible but other than that no. The worst I've gotten is a bit of "rug burn" from grazing the side of the bag while going a little crazy on it. I also have a pair of cheaper boxing gloves I wear though just for a little added weight and better workout, no problems at all with those on.

Hi there, I think probably better than cloth wraps, because there is a little bit more padding on top with some time of gel. But I take a kickboxing class and hit the bags and I wish I would have gotten a better glove with more support. There is a slightly bigger version ( I think Amazon also sells it). I will keep them though because they are good. I think if you wear regular cloth wraps, you would probably like these because they are not bulky and just offer better protection than just wraps. hope it helps

Yes, there are guidelines based on your user/bag weight ratio. You can search google and get tons of information on this. Type, "What punching bag size should I get"

I used this bag this summer for towels and inflatable toys. It fit an inflatable kick board perfectly. The material seems a bit thin, but we didn't have any issues with it. I think it may wear with use over time, but for now it is perfect for what I use it for. Looking at the picture, if it can hold the weight of that many towels I feel like it would stand up to a kick board! Sorry I'm not more helpful! :)

Most of the ladies in my kickbox class wear 8 or 10oz gloves. Kind of depends on whether you are wearing wraps or some type of gel wrap gloves under your boxing gloves as those will fill up some space in the gloves as well. Best thing would be to go to a sporting goods or boxing equipment store to try on some gloves and see how they fit. Then order from Amazon if it will save you $$.

You must be a rare breed for one, second, its a wing chun bag, wing chun is not about power, mine will last forever

I don't believe so...I think the purpose of the two section bag is to have two distinct targets to improve the accuracy of your punches

I don't know about kick boxing - depends on your individual gloves - The wrap is adjustable so if you need it thicker or thinner at a certain part of your hand its do-able :) I like them a lot and I use under a 16 oz boxing glove.

"Yes" and "no". "Yes", working out heavy duty, practice for the actual self - defense. Plus prevents any possible hand and wrist injuries. Ligaments and tendons brusing. "No", light duty workouts. Proper techniques, especially "hooks", on all punches use the "index" & "middle" fingers' knuckles. Hooks - fist / punches in a vertical. In an angled fist, the "ring" & "pinky" knuckles may fracture to the meta carpal (top of the hand - wrist to the knuckles. It will swell up and pain), also known as "Boxer 's Fracture". Research in Youtube for proper techniques, wrist (straight), forearm (leveled), hip (are in torque motion), feet (pivot on the balls of your feet), & hand (proper technique & position). Be safe, have fun, prevent any possible injuries to you & other. All about being / staying healthy & having fun. Enjoy. : )

I use this bag for kickboxing all of the time. It hits the same from the top to the bottom. Top notch bag.

I used these for a Beginner class which was minimal hitting - no bag work and they were just fine. you may want something with more padding if you're going to spar/bag work.

In my opinion is better, because it is more diverse; moves are fluid and just like you said, it feels like your body is engaged into more of a powerful workout...I love kickboxing so just the fact that these moves are incorporated makes it more fun a and varied... Good luck :)

If you are just doing cardio kickboxing type stuff, it doesn't really matter because you won't actually be hitting with any power anyway. If you plan on learning to actually box, get another glove as this one does not offer the wrist support needed and you will injure yourself. It happened to me and one other person in our gym. I suggest looking at some Title hook and loop gloves if you want a real boxing glove and not crap that is sold to people who don't know any better.

It depends on the use. They would be fine for sparring, but for hitting a heavy bag, no. If you are going to be using a heavy punching bag you want something that completely covers the hand. I used these for a punching bag and my knuckles got torn to shreds.
