Properly Mixing Boxing Punch Bag Fillers

By Alejando Mansilla

The Internet contains a veritable library of information about what to do with your boxing punch bag, and it's all available to you by performing a Google search. The main question puzzling people in the real world is how you can fill your own bag.

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

Water and sand work well, depending on what kind of bag you are using and the effect you're looking for, including the make of the bag's shell. Unless you're particularly keen on mopping, I wouldn't fill a normal sized boxing punch bag with water.

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.

One thing to keep in mind when it comes time to fill your boxing punch bag is that your best bet is to pick up an empty shell from a store.

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.

So what can someone do that doesn't want to buy a full priced boxing punch bag? Never buy a sack and go with it. Sacks are not built to take the kind of pain you're going to be dealing on it day in and day out.

Buy an unfilled bag and save yourself the hassle that will come when your sack refuses to take anymore and spills its contents all over the floor. The great thing about buying an empty shell is that they're very cheap. The filler of a boxing punch bag is what makes for an Everlast instead of an Aries or TKO.

There are numerous ingredients you can use to fill your boxing punch bag. Your best bet is to pick a few of these and use them to create a mixture that will perform for you year after year despite daily punishment.

Materials with which you can fill your boxing punch bag include:

* Cotton, or anything made from cotton

* Cloth or yarn made from wool

* Normal air

* The foam of a mattress

* Water or other liquid

* Used and unwanted clothing

* Saw dust or shreddings

* Any kind of feathers, such as those from pillows

* Non-cooked rice

* Varieties of sand

* Material used for packing, 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.

Pack your boxing punch bag as tightly with cloth as possible, attentively removing any looseness to keep the boxing punch bag of good form and thickness to prevent deforming.

But how do you keep the right hardness and the correct shape?

Pour in some find sand near the bottom to maintain your bag's shape and keep it weighted. Line the edges with cloth -- you can use sleeping bags or army sacks if you'd like.

Next, pack the core with feathers and any rubber you have at your disposal, like shredded tires. - 17273
