How To Fill A Punching Bag

1. How To Fill A Punching Bag? A Step by Step Guide!

3. Why Is the Right Punching Bag Filling Material Important? • There are mainly three types of punch bag fillers that you can use to fill your punch bag, but it is majorly influenced by the type of training that you do. The three types of fillings you can use to fill your bag for punching are sawdust, old clothes, and sand. 

4. Choosing the wrong type of filling will only result in a pathetic and fruitless training experience even if you know how to use a punching bag. The reasons?  • A bag filled with the wrong filling does not swing the way it is supposed to. • It is also hazardous for the wrists and the knuckles of the user. • The filling will sink and settle at the bottom of the bag. This will result in a bag with a soft top but a hard bottom. 

5. What to Fill in a Punching Bag? • The first thing that you need to buy is an empty bag and a cover. The reason why? The key advantage of purchasing an empty bag is that it enables you to customise the whole experience, select and adjust the weight, fit, and volume of bags.

6. For example, a boxing punching bag with a heavier weight filling can make it harder to hit and move the bag. Filling a bag with a lighter fill, on the other hand, will provide you with the opposite experience. You will not have to hit the bag as harshly as a hard bag to make the bag swing freely. For those who want to feel less body shock and implement fast and accurate boxing combinations instead of concentrating on striking with force, this filling is the perfect choice.

7. Filling for a Lightweight Boxing Bag: • For a lightweight bag, materials like larger rags including foam, cloths, towels, old garments, or fabric strips are better. These kinds of materials give a softer and lighter density for training and prevent dense compaction. This means that the user experiences lesser force on his or her joints when striking the bag.

8. Filling for a Heavy Boxing Bag: • If you want a heavy boxing bag, then you need to fill it with smaller and finer fillings, for example, sawdust and sand. To make sure that the weight of the bag is not overbearing for its case, you can also stuff it with thinner fabric and garments in the middle of the boxing bag.
