Century Wavemaster XXL | Freestanding Punching Bag with Base | Heavy Bag Boxing Martial Arts Kickboxing Bag | Optimal Strength and Cardio Training Bag

prefect for the beginner, both adult and kids

Love this bag. Super nice quality, easy to assemble. And holds up well to kicks/punches. You can fill the base to desired weight so it’s sturdy but also not overly heavy if you need to move it. Base is shaped like a tire so I filled it and then rolled it to were I wanted it. I put water in originally but poured that out for sand since I’m in Minnesota and didn’t want the water to feeze and crack the base. But overall it’s a super nice bag and seems to be holding up really well to regular use.

I'm giving this a 5 based on other stand alone heavy bags that I've used. If I'm comparing to a good hanging heavy bag I'd probably give it a 4. I'm also giving it 5 having filled it with sand instead of water. If it is filled with water there is so much more movement of the base. The movement of the water inside the base makes it kick around entirely to much when getting in a work out. With sand the movement of the base is minimal. I am 6'2" 300lbs. Been boxing about a year now and I can lay into it pretty hard before it really moves around. I also have it on a rubber mat which helps with the skidding around.If you are going to fill it with sand, do yourself a favor and spend the $20 to $25 for the 50lb bag of dried, white sandbox sand. It took me 3 hours, with a wide mouth funnel, to get 100lbs of $5 wet sand bags. I do not have the patience for that. I order white sandbox sand from Walmart had it the next afternoon and It took me all of 5 minutes to get the other 150lbs of the good white sandbox sand in.Will update if neccessary! So far after 3 workouts, I'm very happy with this.

This is a good product and it enables me to do some bag work at home, so I can't complain TOO much. However, I will say that the base design is not ideal. The product calls for water or sand to fill the base, and having spoken with some other XXL owners, I was told in unequivocal terms, do NOT fill the base with sand if you ever want to move this thing again. So, given that I won't be living in my current house forever, I chose to fill the base with water.Don't get me wrong, water does the trick for the most part, but it's not great. Even if you fill the base to the brim with water, the water will slosh around when you throw big strikes and the sloshing + strike impact actually moves the base and heavy bag a little bit each time. I was hoping the bag wouldn't move at all, but again, since I can't hang anything from my ceiling in the basement and I didn't want to bother mounting something like this to the wall, this was my only option.The bag itself is pretty sturdy, though mine came with "stretch marks" (only way I can describe it) across the logo. I bought the red one, in case you're curious.Bottom line, good product, amazing that I can do bag work at home, could've been better if they put a little more thought and testing into development of the base and how to keep it completely stationary.

Buy it- you won't find another one out there for such a reasonable price as on Amazon ($260 shipped to my house!) nor will you find one from a different brand that will meet your expectations of a full sized bag that you can practice mma on.The base is between a foot and 16" off the ground, the rest is the bag all the way up to nearly 6'. I'm 5'10" and it's a bit taller than I am.Shipped in two bags; base in one, bag in the other- both boxes were lightweight since the base is plastic and the bag is plastic core with foam and protective outer cover. There's this "nut" the the base sits on and when you screw the bag in, the nut secures the bag to the base- without the bag screwed in, the nut falls down, but that's how it is supposed to be.So I'm a 5'10", 210lb woman. I got this for my mom since she's got a lot of anger issues since my dad passed away from cancer- I figured it would save us money on her killing the house' shades every other week when they don't operate correctly.Mom is 5'6" and around 170lbs.I filled it with water since I was afraid she wouldn't be able to move the bag if I filled it with sand (she can roll it into the middle of the living room and then off to the side when she wants to just watch TV)- also, I feared not being able to maneuver it into the living room as you need to fill the base with sand outside.I set the base up in the middle of the living room, put a large garbage bag (laid flat) under the side where the cap and opening are, and used what everyone else said- the cut off top of a one gallon milk jug- as a funnel. I filled about half of it by myself until the "funnel" wouldn't stay upright anymore, so mom had to hold it while I poured the water in. Took no more than 30 minutes to fill.I put telfon tape on the base's opening to ensure no leakage as others have commented about (no leaks at all even when I tipped it over on purpose).The bag moves along the rug if you hit it hard, so I can't put my full force into it. Mom hits and kicks on one side and I do the same on the other so we keep it going back and forth and when it moves too far towards her, I switch sides with her.Get a set of gloves- the bag is hard. I had 16oz gloves from my mma classes already, but before we got the bag, I took mom to Dick's and she tried gloves on- she got a pair of 12oz. Everlasts- white. I don't recommend using only wraps if you want to hit it hard.When I get another bag for myself, I will fill it with sand so I can hit it full force- the water sloshing around in it makes it move too much for my liking.Lastly, get a nonskid/slip mat for under it- my yoga mat doesn't work well, so I will be getting one of those commercial rubber mats they put down when you stand on cement floors all day.
