Most people at home get either a freestanding boxing bag or a traditional punching bag. We offer punching bags in 3 sizes: 120 cm, 150 cm, and 180 cm.
The smallest 120 cm is only suitable for hand techniques and punches. On the larger bags, you can also do low and high kicks.
It also goes without saying that the bigger the punching bag, the heavier it is. And that means the heavier the bag, the less it will swing.
