XPRT punching bags

No.

Leaving your punching bag outside is not good for the punching bag. Direct sunlight, heat, and rain can damage your punching bag. Moisture can also cause mold 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 damp outside. 

The chains may start to rust over time, and moisture can cause mold 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.

Hanging a punching bag involves first determining the right location, choosing a sturdy mounting system, and hanging the punching bag at the correct height. Pay attention to the system’s stability and safety.

How to proceed:

• Determine the location: choose a place with enough space around the punching bag so you can move freely around it. Make sure there is a sturdy surface to attach the punching bag to, such as a concrete ceiling, a solid beam, or a load-bearing wall. 
• Choose a mounting system: you can choose between a ceiling mount (hook) or a wall mount. A ceiling mount is often the best option for stability and offers more possibilities. Make sure the mounting system can support the weight of the punching bag, including the movements 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 using the appropriate screws or bolts. 
• Hang the punching bag: attach the chains or hanging strap of the punching bag 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 supplemented by 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 materials can be ordered online. Check the product page for the specific delivery options

For a complete hanging setup, you need at least a wall mount or ceiling hook. Optionally, you can add a swivel (for free rotation) and a spring (for sound dampening). 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 filled with the finest fighting gear, available and accessible to everyone.

Through personal experience gained from training camps, seminars, competitions, and research, he developed 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: Fight2Win. And ultimately, with the help of fellow martial artists and graphic designers, a logo and name emerged for a groundbreaking and affordable martial arts brand: XPRT Fight Gear!
