XPRT punching bags

No.

Leaving your punching bag hanging outside is not good for it. Direct sunlight, heat, and rain can damage your punching bag. Moisture can also cause mold to grow in the filling and make the chains rust.

You can risk it, but preferably keep it under a canopy and, for example, cover it with large rubble bags after use.

No, not really.

But even without rain, it’s humid outside. 

The chains may start to rust over time, and moisture can cause mold to develop in the filling.

You can use a punching bag outdoors, but preferably under a canopy, and cover it after use, for example with large rubble bags. Even better, bring it indoors after use and store it in a dry, well-ventilated space.

To hang a punching bag, first determine the right location, choose a sturdy mounting system, and hang the punching bag at the correct height. Pay attention to the system’s stability and safety.

How to proceed:

• Determine the location: choose a spot with enough space around the punching bag so you can move freely around it. Make sure it is a sturdy place where the punching bag can be attached, such as a concrete ceiling, a solid beam, or a load-bearing wall. 
• Choose a mounting system: you can choose between a ceiling bracket (hook) and a wall mount. A ceiling bracket is often the best option for stability and offers more flexibility. Make sure the mounting system can support the weight of the punching bag, including the movement during training. 
• Install the mounting system: drill holes in the ceiling or wall (depending on your chosen system) and securely attach the bracket or mount with the appropriate screws or bolts. 
• Hang the punching bag: attach the punching bag’s chains or hanging strap to the mounting system. 
• Set the height: ideally, the top of the punching bag should hang approximately 10 cm higher than your own height, possibly adding the length of the chains. Also make sure that the punching bag hangs at least 30 cm above the ground. 
• Check the stability: gently shake the punching bag to check whether the system is sturdy enough. 

Large and heavy punching bags can only be collected from our showroom in Waddinxveen. Smaller accessories such as double-end balls and mounting hardware can be ordered online. Check the product page for the specific delivery options

For a complete mounting setup, you need at least a wall bracket or ceiling hook. Optionally, you can add a swivel (for unrestricted rotation) and a spring (for noise reduction). All this mounting material is available from Fight2Win.

The story of XPRT Fight Gear begins in 2005. An enthusiastic martial artist and entrepreneur has been dreaming for years of a shop full of the finest fighting gear, available and accessible to everyone.

Through personal experiences in the form of training camps, seminars, competitions, and research, he gained a clear vision of how to offer martial arts, combat sports, and martial arts equipment to a broader audience in the new millennium.

With extensive experience in Thai boxing, boxing, karate, and especially ITF Taekwon-do, Fight2Win takes its first steps toward a complete product range. Initially, this consisted exclusively of ITF Taekwon-do uniforms and safety equipment under the Taekwon-do.nl brand and website.

Then came the slogan: Fight2WinAnd eventually, with the help of other martial artists and graphic designers, a logo and name emerged for a groundbreaking and affordable martial arts brand: XPRT Fight Gear!
