Bag Stand
How can i build a outdoor heavy punching bag stand?

Tall 4x4 mounted in the ground with cement? But what about the details? How can i actaully hang the bag?

The most complete instructions I found (including photos) was a
martial arts site telling how to improvise different types of training
gear, including a punching bag. There isn't a picture of the punching
bag, alas, but enough other photos that I think you will be able to
get some idea, and the instructions are quite clear. You’ll need to
scroll about 3/4 of the way down the page to find the instructions for
the punching bag. And if you should have any questions, the author has
listed his email. http://www.mubai.cc/articles/art64.htm

--Then, here is an answer from a boxing site resident expert to a
question on how to make a punching bag, with some good ideas and
suggestions: http://experts.about.com/q/1533/3120282.htm

--Here is another site about improvising martial arts training tools,
including discussion on various means of making punching bags:

--You might find this article interesting. It’s about making a
“makiwara,” which isn’t technically a punching bag, but is used for a
similar purpose in karate training. It’s an illustrated article on
how to make it, and perhaps could be adapted to a punching bag, or you
might even like to try this tool as described:

--This forum discussion is all about the best way(s) to hang a heavy
bag, and goes into quite a bit of detail. While a smaller punching
bag wouldn’t require as much care, of course, it’s nevertheless a good
tutorial:

--Here is a link to another discussion forum, this one about boxing
and training equipment that includes some interesting info on punching
bags and improvisation. It also talks about weight and how to
increase it, etc. as well as giving you some idea of the various
weights of punching bags and heavy bags, which can range from about 20
lbs. to over 80 lbs. for a heavy. There is also discussion of various
things to fill a bag with, such as sand, leather scraps, cloth and
maize. Just scroll down and click on “punching bags,” “what to fill a
heavy bag with,” and other thread titles that interest you. Perhaps
you could also register and post a question/comment of your own for
further help: http://pub47.ezboard.com/frossboxingforumfrm14?page=1

I do hope you will find this information helpful Best of luck – with your bag and with your training!
