Making Heavy Bags (Boxing)

post #1 of 19
Thread Starter 
Anyone know how to go about making one? I got a little time and figured instead of buying one I'd go ahead and make one on my own time. Any suggestions? Sites?

Improvised Freestanding Punching Bag

Needed materials: One 6 to 8 foot piece of 4” inch wide PVC tube, 17 to 30“ wide plastic garbage bin, three to five bags of pre-mixed cement, cloth material, and of course, duct tape. Cut the PVC pipe to desired length, then
fill garbage bin with the pre-mixed cement. Add water, stir, then put the PVC pipe in the center of the bin. Make sure to force the pipe into the bottom of the bin and keep it as vertical as possible. Then simply wait for it to dry. Once finished drying, wrap the PVC pipe in cloth material and duct tape and you have a freestanding punching bag.


And HERE is some info about hanging a punching bag.

Hope this helps.

Hmm...sounds a bit tough (not the making but the substance wise). I was looking for something I could hit with wraps on my hands and be able to kick. With that thing it sounds like I'd break something.

I guess you could always just vaccuum seal a bunch of wet towels and toss them in a burlap sack.

You can buy a heavy bag from some place like Gart sports for like 40 bucks on sale, making one would be a bitch. Though I highly suggest buying a nice Everlast that won't tear in matter of months, and use decent bag gloves, your hands will thank you later.

But...I WANT my hands to hate me. Not broken hate me, but "I'm gonna show you what the hell I got" hate me.

But sheetrock walls always need repairing after that sort of treatment.

Actually moving to a nice little 5 acre property in Acton which is about 15 miles north of the San Fernando Valley. Great piece of land and it looks as if I'll be creating my own little workshop shed while I'm up there. Want to do some woodworking and such.

Use an old muffler like Kurt Russell did in "Soldier."

The best punching bag has always been, and always will be, Portuguese people.

A prisoner on one of those A and E shows rolled up his thin mattress and put it in his pillowcase, and he said that made a great heavybag. The guy was huge, and in solitary, so I guess it works.

canvas and sawdust, but before you learn how to fight, you must learn how to sew...
