Wavemaster

I am very happy with my purchase of this training bag...I filled it with sand and it seems to take some pretty hefty taekwondo kicks from me and my daughter. Of course, after a few straight on kicks it may move a little but that is to be expected and does not bother me at all. It is supposed to give a little when you are kicking it. I am pleased with it and would def recommend this for families that want to practice martial arts at home.

I ordered this from Walmart because of the free site to store shipping. Saved me some cash on purchase price and shipping. It is the same great Century Wavemaster I have used for years in my Martial Arts business. It takes a ton of punishment and lasts for years.

If you don't want, or aren't able, to put a punching bag from the ceiling or pay the $125-$150+ to get a support for it...great choice. I looked at a LOT of options due to being 6'2"-6'3" and not being able to find one that would be tall enough for me to punch and head level. This is the tallest one I could find and well worth 2x the price so far using it. My only "cons" are that it could be slightly more stable at the highest level and that it's a pain to fill up with sand. I cut an OJ plastic jug to use as a larger funnel and laid ~ 5 bags of play sand out on a tarp in the sun to dry it out to pout easier (since those sealed sand bags have moisture in them). All in all, very worth it and glad I got it.

Very effective for core strengthening/cardio! It was worth it! This can be a good form for anger/stress management!

I like this bag. My rental unit makes it impossible for me to hang a traditional heavy bag so this Wavemaster fit the bill nicely. Tucked into a corner in my garage, it allows for basic boxing and cardio kickboxing. For full-force striking this does tend to move a bit...that said, it moves WAY less than a traditional heavy bag with regard to resetting which, allows for much more consistent repetition during most practice scenarios. I have it filled with water, sand might be more stable but water seems sturdy enough. I would recommend this for sure for striking practice, cardio boxing and kick boxing.

I'm 5'0 and slender, and this bag fits me perfectly. A tall person might consider buying a longer bag. I do shadow boxing and mixed martial arts drills. The bag sits on a thick rubber mat, but when I really whale on it, there's some slippage, remedied by punching the other side. Setup was not difficult, but the mechanism for raising and lowering the bag is tedious and fiddly. I used rhe garden hose and a funnel to fill it with water; took about 20 min.

Would definitely recommend for kids 10 and under. Not durable enough, in my opinion, for older kids and certainly not adults.

My daughter and I are Tae Kwon Do black belts and have used the same bag in our dojang. Having it at home gives us the ideal workout to sharpen our skills. Highly recommended if you are serious about working out and enhancing your martial arts skills!

We got this training bag for Christmas. My 12 yr old thinks its great. He can really get a good work out on his shoulders and legs using it. My husband also enjoys it but finds the bag to be a bit wobbly. Its not due to the base (which you fill with sand or water), its because the bag can go up and down the center base and lessens it's stability. It is still a good family fun workout.

Appears that it could meet the expectations of my seven year old son. However, we are going to exchange this product. The cap on the base is defect and does not tighten to enable the cap to be secured. The cap simply pops off. As a result, we are not able to use this training bag and it is going back as soon as possible. Luckily, we did not have it filled with water or sand. If we get it exchanged, we are hoping that the next one is okay. I sincerely recommend that anyone interested in this product first have the cap checked!
