Punch Bags & Boxing Bags

For most adults, a 4ft or 5ft punch bag is the most versatile choice for home training. A 4ft bag (around 25–30kg) is suitable for lighter adults and older juniors. A 5ft bag (around 30–40kg) is ideal for most adults for power and combination work. A 6ft bag is better suited to heavier fighters or those focusing on body shots and low kicks. For children, a smaller 3ft or 4ft bag is recommended.

A hanging heavy bag is mounted from the ceiling or a wall bracket and swings freely when struck, providing a more realistic training experience and better feedback on power and technique. A free-standing punch bag sits on a weighted base and requires no ceiling fixings, making it ideal for home gyms, garages and rented spaces where ceiling mounting is not possible. Free-standing bags are generally easier to move and store.

Yes — all of our punch bags come pre-filled and ready to use straight out of the box, complete with any required fittings. There is no need to source filling materials or spend time preparing the bag before your first session. Simply hang or position your bag and start training.

For punch bag training, 10oz–12oz training gloves are suitable for most adults. Always wear hand wraps under your gloves to protect your wrists and knuckles. Dedicated bag gloves are a lighter, more compact alternative to training gloves and give better feel on the bag. Avoid using sparring gloves for bag work as the extra padding reduces feedback and can wear out faster on the bag surface.
