Materials For A Quality Boxing Punch Bag Filler

By Jesus Caceres

The Internet is filled with information about boxing punch bags, and all of it is at your fingertips if you perform a simple search on Google. The most popular question is unquestionably how to fill a boxing punch bag.

People have differing opinions of which material is the best. Water is liked by some, as is sand, or even grass.

The first two choices will work well, but depending on the bag you're using, what the shell is crafted from, and the weight of your bag. Filling a regular boxing punch bag with water is not a good idea unless you love mopping.

Grass, on the other hand, is not a good choice regardless of the bag you're using. By filling a boxing punch bag with grass, you're guaranteeing yourself a bag that is far too soft to serve as any kind of conditioning tool.

Do consider that when it comes time to fill your boxing punch bag, you'd be best served by purchasing an empty shell from the store rather than letting your aunt sew some kind of material for you.

If you're going for something cheap, you're going to get what you pay for -- your mom is not going to be able to sew you a bag that will last any time whatsoever, and you'll throw a boatload of time and money out the window.

What can you do in place of sewing one yourself? One thing you can't do is buy a sack and go with that. The kind of punishment you unleash on a boxing punch bag is not going to translate well to a sack, since it's not made to withstand daily assault.

Do yourself a favor and purchase a boxing punch bag with no fill and avoid a load of problems down the road. The good part to buying an empty shell is that boxing punch bags with no fill are quite cheap, since it's the insides that make the difference between a TKO or Aries and an Everlast.

There are numerous materials with which you can fill a boxing punch bag. Rather than picking just one, the best, time proven method is to use several different materials and combine them for a nice mixture for your bag.

Some ingredients you can use to fill your boxing punch bag include:

* Anything cotton

* Yarn or cloth made from wool

* Normal air

* A mattress' foam

* Water or other liquid

* Unwanted or used clothing

* Saw dust or shreddings

* Pillow or any other type of feathers

* Dry rice

* Varieties of sand

* Packing material, such as styrofoam

* Rolled tight and packed up garbage bags

* Tires that have been shredded, or rubber of any type

Here is what your dojo does, something that you'll probably never hear from anyone, even after requesting an honest answer. The formula is as follows.

Be sure to pack your boxing punch bag tight with cloth until there is no looseness remaining. Be careful here because if any looseness remains, your bag will be too soft and it will become deformed by punches.

What can you do to stop your bag from becoming misshapen?

Simply pour fine sand into the bottom of your bag to keep your boxing punch bag weighted and of the proper shape. Line the outer wall of your bag with cloth, sleeping bags or even army sacks if you have them.

Finally, pack in that core with rubber and feathers -- shredded tires work well too to achieve good consistency. - 17268
