Is a punching bag a useful asset for someone who does taekwondo?

If not, could you please suggest some equipment that would be? I know nothing about the sport myself, just looking for a birthday present for my boyfriend :)|||Yes, it is. using a good size punching bag helps with both the punching and kicking.





it%26#039;s just good practice to use some kind of punching bag to improve technique and stamina among other things.





if not a punching bag, I would check into a B.O.B or Body Opponent Bag due to it%26#039;s realistic look of a person with it%26#039;s added ability to be adjusted to several different height settings.





it adds more realism for striking as opposedd to a regular punching bag, but it is considerably harder since its made of molded rubber other than canvas or vinyl as most punching bags are made of but still good for a Martial Arts enthusiast.|||;) just glad I could help, no problem. Report Abuse
|||Go to his dojo and ask the instructors.. My son has been doing it for 5 years.. He has lot%26#039;s of equipment. It can be purchased online. A punching bag(you mean the one that hangs from a chain?). Is okay as long as it%26#039;s low enough for low kicks. Personally the standing punching bags you can buy at Big 5 are excellent. There are several hand held bags too.. Not sure you want to hold them while he kicks.. lol.. Good luck!|||Any equipment for training to fight would be helpful. Although you may just want to give a gift certificate to the martial artist, and one for me too!





peace,

http://www.pacificwingchunassociation.co...|||yes a good heavy bag is great it help us to focus our strength.|||in my opinion it is an asset particularly standing ones as you can practice kicking at all height ranges. i have a black belt in tkd and find that a standing punch bag is useful or one which hangs from a chain because you can still set the bracket at the height which is useful for him. www.bytomic.com is a big martial arts online store which has a large range of equipment. hope this is of any help|||Yes. For his home, the freestanding bag might be better, although they can be kicked over, which is an annoyance. If you get him a hanging bag, get the water filled type.|||Punching bag would be a nice gift .|||Does the punching bag have a name.....?|||A punching bag is usefull for taekwondo, because it helps you practise your punching and kicking. Dont ever think that its not. Also if u wanted a present from your boyfriend you should ask him for jewlery if your into it. Or if your a tomboy like i am, ask for something to do with the sport u like, but u shouldnt mention it like ---%26gt; %26quot; for my birthday i want...%26quot;. Say it casualy like %26quot; ya i really like those.... i really want one of those... or something!

  1. Its a must for all the Taekwondo Masters. Taekwondo punching bag may not be of much use for a beginner in martial art such as Kung Fu, Karate or Judo but to improvise Taekwondo techniques, Dynamics punch is mandate.
