kickboxing bags: Is there a difference between punching and kickboxing bags?

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.

I don't know the difference between the two bags. This bag is bigger than my last bag, but I use a golf cart so it doesn't matter. Love this bag it looks good and has more room.

Hello, On the picture in a listing, there is a sample of what it looks like when it is punched. We don't have another example. Thanks

If you punch it without gloves, then you will most likely rip the skins from your knuckles. The cushioned part is meant to be punched with gloves to reduce the impact.That way it doesn't put so much strain on your wrists. However, if you punch hard enough, without gloves, then it will, still, rip the skin. The bag is durable and I say it's good for its price. Just remember, there is no bag that is soft like a cloud and this bag is probably one of the most cushioned one you'll find that your son will still get a rush out of it.

From a style standpoint I don't know. I believe Muay Thai gloves are different, muay Thai has clinch work/grabbing and you may have to take that into consideration? . But from a quality standpoint, the Reyes are great. Beautiful gloves!

Wraps are always good practice for a couple of reasons; hygiene (esp if you are using communal pads in between boxing) as you can wash them easily (and the gloves are a little harder to clean) and a bit of extra padding can sometimes help when you are hitting the bag hard ;)

Yes , they are essentially the "standard", two sided laminating punches with an extension for the strap (PVC included). It is suggested that the tags always be concealed in a (zipper) pocket on the suitcase to avoid others from socially pickpocketing any of your info.

There doesn't seem to be any difference. I own this bag though, and you can't get a better bag in the price range.

Ben, it does have a few minor differences, the titan has more small features that could Make a difference, like side access to main bag, an internal zipper on the top bag, a zipper bag on the waist support etc. But the sentinal is great.

No, this is basically just a weight that keeps a heavy bag from swinging around after you punch it.

You can. They wont hurt the bag and will protect your wrists and hands, BUT they wont last as long if you wear them alone, without bag gloves. So still use bag gloves if you can. Otherwise Yes, a cardio strike punching bag or anything else that was made to be punch/kicked for training should be fine to use with these if used properly.

I suggest you buy the everlast punch wood beam bag hanger also as I did. It will allow your bag to swivel and is easy to attach to a spot on your ceiling where a wooden beam is behind the sheetrock. I also bought the Ringside bag spring. It cuts down on the amount of swing the bag gets after you punch it. Allowing for faster punching. It also is supposed to reduce the wear and tear on your bag. But I would get the Title spring brand. I had to rig the Ringside one because one of the rings is open on one side.

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.

The difference is about 25% of the bag. Hasn't bothered other reviewers. I use the simplehuman bags.

don't know the specifics, but this bag has been hanging, getting kicked and beat up, for 4 years now & it has not torn or ripped at all.

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

It depends. Each one is different. It definitely seems like they aren't being packed by people who have been trained to pack theses because my bags were all over the place. I pulled all mine out and replaced it myself because there was a couple of bags right in my punching area. Since doing so there has been no movement of the bags.
