- Looking to buy a punching bag for your at-home boxing space? These bags are fighter-tested--3 real fighters punch & kick their hardest to find a winner and answer to "Which punching bag is the best?"
Here’s how to decide between a free-standing bag & a hanging bag.
As at-home workouts have become the new normal, many of us have been seeking a way to improve the way we exercise at home. Many have found combat sports to be an effective exercise. Whether it is kickboxing, boxing, mixed martial arts (MMA) or something in between, there is one piece of equipment that is essential: the punching bag.
Is a Punching Bag Worth It?
The short answer is yes. A punching bag allows you to practice almost every move that you would use in a traditional boxing or kickboxing match. Practicing against air can only get you so far--this is known as shadowboxing. A punching bag gives you resistance and the illusion of an opponent. This way, you can figure out your own style of fighting. That, combined with the stress relief that comes from hitting the bag for a while, makes a punching bag well worth the cost.
Is a Standing Punching Bag Better Than a Hanging Punching Bag?
This is mostly up to the individual. It depends on your needs and your space. Both hanging punching bags and free-standing punching bags have advantages and disadvantages.
Hanging Punching Bags
Pros
- More resistance
- Multiple workout variations
- Do not take up a lot of floor space
- Able to swing which simulates a real fight more than a bag that doesn’t swing. This can be helpful for training.
Cons
- Can be tricky to install
- Require a lot of room to accommodate the swinging motion
- Not portable
Free-Standing Punching Bags
Pros
- Portable
- Do not take up much open space
- Offer a different level of resistance and weight
- Easy to set up, not requiring hooks or brackets for installation
Cons
- Typically not be as stable and can topple over
- Typically not as durable
- Not able to swing
When choosing a bag, make sure to evaluate what you will be using it for. This will help you when it comes to selecting and purchasing the right punching bag for you.
What Is The Best Punching Bag To Buy?
Over the years many companies have released all sorts of punching bags, some are high quality and well worth the money, while others are better left…at the store. Buying your first punching bag can be intimidating, especially if you are new to combat sports.
The three (3) free-standing bags that have been “fighter-tested” by our FightCamp trainers are featured in this video. They put them through “stress tests”, consisting of one-minute constant kickboxing combinations and boxing punch combinations. All three of these bags can be purchased online or at most sporting goods stores.
It can be overwhelming when trying to decide what punching bag to buy. But once you decide on your needs, your space, and the price you’re willing to pay, a punching bag will be a valuable investment for your at-home boxing space and will help you train better and more effectively.

So this is just an advertisement dressed up as a review.
Yea, and they only sell it as a package for 1 grand
@@samc0321 cool
facts
Not only that but they're deliberately holding back on the one they're promoting. The kickboxer was only doin like 30% kicks
exactly! the first bags base wasnt even 1/2 filled, but just enough to tell something was in it. hmmm fight camp base full, other bag less than 1/2 full
The grunting though 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 sounded like a duck, didn't look like any real hard hits on the fight camp.bag though 😬 ....Edit: this isn't a bash on the product... just saying would have been nice to see some real hard punches rather than speed
You aren't the first to say it. They went as hard as they possibly could.
Speed can build up power. And these guys were punching this hard af.
@zakir jaigirder lol I agree
They definitely punched it pretty hard
I thought of the same thing
Seems this is sponsored by fightcamp bag, the kick boxer guy did not put all his force into those kicks like he did on the first two bags ✌️ could see it a mile off
same
And they had the other two bags at the edge of the stage lol
They were definitely taking it easier on the fight camp but considering how much it costs, it’s definitely better made and designed than the other bags with weight, balance, and structure
Completely disagree. They hit it just as hard as the others. It didn't move because the base is so much heavier.
@@myjunkmail007 hehe good one
They’re obviously holding back their power on the fight camp bag 👎🏼👎🏼
Bro nope
I must be blind then
Dude how can you fake a kick
No they just didn’t weigh down the other bags
They obviously held back you guys must be blind.
Looks like you didn’t fill the Everlast bag with sand, or anything. This is a biased “review”. A youtube channel called FightCamp chose the FightCamp bag as the best, lol.
Filled it 100% with sand. It was a fair review. Our bag is the better bag.
Tommy Duquette i dont doubt fightcamp is a better bag but the Everlast powercore bag can hold 370 pounds of sand, if you filled it with sand theres no way those small guys you used for the vid would knock it over that easily.
@@K0NY718 I filled that bag to the top with sand. It didn't hold 370 lbs that's for sure. You might have it mistaken for another free standing bag in this case.
@zachary williams Sure. If you can't can I get $1,000? :)
I saw another review on that red bag and it was filled with water and it wasn’t getting knocked over at all by a decently hard puncher
The red Everlast looks like a rebranded Century Wavemaster, which if filled all the way with sand should be almost 300 lbs. There's no way the 3rd one with 350 lbs of sand was impossible to knock over, while the red one went flying. Its base had to have been empty. 🤷👎
yea, if it was half way filled with sand it should have stayed
LOL Its so funny when the bag falls, and the guys with their facial expressions! I feel it.
2:33 lmfaooo 🤣🤣🤣 homie sounding like a street fighter character 😭
LOL
Haduuken
Thats how they sound in thailand lmaooooo
Out loud: "$1,000, knock this off the stage."
Before filming: $10,000 NOT to knock Fight Camp bag off the stage
you guys put the first two bags on a ledge and didn’t fill up the base nearly enough. clearly and add for your overpriced bag.
why is no one else catching that. Bunch of HACKS
Everlast +sand + water = Good luck tipping it over.
trying to find a bag, these guys tipped it over pretty easy though. :( I'm not gonna spend 1k on a bag lol
@@dirkdiggler2379 I recommend the dripex bag if you’re on a super tight budget. It costs around 150, and while it’s not easy to move it’s still a good bag. If you can afford to spend 200 more dollars then I recommend the century wavemaster xxl. That one is easier to setup, easier to move, and it’s design allows more room for kicks than the dripex bag does
Seems like he's holding back on the last bag. You guy's just wanna sell the bag don't ya 😂
I got the everlast bag and if you fill it up with water and put it against the wall it’s perfect it doesn’t move that much cause of the wall and plus it’s like 1,100 bucks cheaper than the one their demonstrating which at that point it’s probably better just to buy a hanging punching bag this item is only for like rich people
I like how they went week as hell for there bag lmao
Goes hard on first two bags and light on what turned out to be just a big Promotion for your own bag. Cheers for wasting our time 👍🏻
Yeah, I knew this shit was a advertisement, “hey bud hit this thing off the stage” *buddy starts hitting the bag with body shots*
You meant to put sand in the other bags 👍 Just saying! 😂
Exactly my thoughts 😂
What’s the density or the hardness of the fight camp bag? Is it the same as a standard boxing heavy bag you’d find at Dicks sporting goods?
For the century bag. If you are just solely using it for stand up combat I recommend tying it to a ceiling or a beam with maybe Bungie cords and when you punch it whips back at you. Great for mastering footwork and knowing when to hit, it’s kind of like fighting a person.
Yes, Master.
I agree, I use it for taekwondo and to work on my form. I tied mine from the handles to the ceiling beam.. not a bag to kill or go all out on but great for strikes ,punches and kicking and to perfect your style... got a heavy bag to step it up so I switch out on them.
Thank you for sharing this info. I do have a question: what would you suggest is the best bag for practicing uppercuts?
i just put a bag over my girlfriend
It would be better to see a fair test done on all 3. Don’t get me wrong the fight camp one does look a lot sturdier but when you’ve got the other two right next to the edge of the stage on purpose so they go over seems a bit unfair when the fight camp ones on the other side of the stage and they were going all out on the other two with a fight camp one you could see they were hardly punching or kicking it. Which I don’t really understand because honestly I can’t see that fight come on going over even if they did go all out on it ha ha. It looks sturdy as hell But without doing a fair test you have to wonder. Is there any chance you would do another test And have all three in the same place and have the punches and kicks at the same velocity?
I have this bag, and it really doesn’t move. Wiggles but the base is solid.
How much is it?
How much does just the bag cost not all the extra stuff
@@Will008 1200$
which one to get an 80lbs or 100 lbs? 5ft or 6ft to hung it in my 8ft ceiling garage?
I will be using it for boxing and muay thai too. I already have a 45lbs round water uppercut bag and a double end bag too..I used to fight in muay thai and also did some boxing while I was still competing in wrestling. Now I just wrestle but like to hit the bags still:)
Been looking at the teardroo bags too but I think I can get more out of a full bag, what do you think?? My dad will be using it for cardio too.
“Heeunggh hyun “ 🤣🤣 what was them noises
😯😯😯
I have a bag like this, but the padding is worn. Is there a way to replace it?
So where can i buy this fight camp bag from ???? Cant find it anywhere
You all are an professional actors man
Been a member for a couple years. I already had a bag and gloves so initially just bought the wraps and trackers. How do you buy the bag just by itself? Can’t find it on the site.
You have to reach out to info@joinfightcamp.com. It is only available for solo purchase to current, active members :)
I just want the bag but I guess thats not possible. Bummer!
@@tommyduquette265 Did thye mention a price?
@@Skysdalimit247 Our team at info@joinfightcamp.com would know!
The guy in the red shirt walked away from the bag like it was a murder scene but all he did was nudge it off the platform they’re standing, making it fall more dramatically 😂
hi what was inside the black stand it is sand or water?
So, this is an ad dressed up as a review, they dog on century bags but then explain that their bag is made by century and “they make the best bags in the industry”.
Go get a wave master XXL
Any discount codes for that camp bag?
aarons punching noises sounds like when youre telling a kid no, "NAH EH EH"
that kickboxer sounds like my grandma
I'm watching other reviews on YT from people that bought this and the thing is moving all over the place. I noticed none of theirs have that base which yours has. Is that why?
How do you order the bag?
these grunting sounds are killing me while watching this
How can I get one of these campfight bags?
Nice video. Pro tip here for folks too poor to buy the $1000 fight camp bag, buy the cheap Century bag and fill the base with sand NOT water. You can get 60 lb bags of sand for $5 each. I fit 180lbs of sand into my base and it barely budges. I am 260 lb 6’2”
thank youuu!!
Do you fill it with just sand or do you put it in plastic and surround it with a cloth or something?
@@sapakan6342 You do fill it with sand. It won't leak. Happy banging.
How long before the bag needs to be replaced?
How can I get the fightcamp bag?
Why wouldn't you compare the FightCamp bag to the Century equivalent? There should have been a Wavemaster 2XL Pro if this review wasn't biased.
I've had the Fight Camp bag without the base for a year. I don't have the power these guys do but I cannot knock this thing over and have a hard time believing I ever could. It will rock and slide if you give it full power (and damage your floor without a mat, I probably should get that base, but I gave up on the security deposit after I got a dog lol) but if you're throwing punches/kicks it's not going down. Is it the best heavy bag? Hell if I know. Could you do better? Probably? It's the one they sent me and I got no complaints, it's great for an apartment (might wanna get that base though), and I don't feel ripped off.
I want one that I can fill up myself but also freestanding and it's hard to find
How can i buy this for a friend that doesn't live in the US without paying a fortune for shipping and handeling?
Do they not think we are going to notice what’s happening here lol??
What type of bag is that I'm tryna get that
We get that you’re irrelevant, but that doesn’t mean you do biased advertisements dressed up as reviews.
How long is the process once I make a payment...
Why the stress test of the FightCamp bag was in slow motion?
Is there a bag type or a way to setup a punching bag effectivly on Carpet? Cuz my entire house is covered in it.
What do you recommend putting in the base?
Sand is preferred to make the base its heaviest. You can use water but it won’t be as heavy.
Sand
We recommend 350 pounds of sand :)
So is all of them a same lineup of bags?
Is there a way I can just buy the punching bag
Was there water or sand in the first one, it went down to quick
Where can I buy it
Can u put it up against the ringside standing bag?
I'll check it out! These were easy because they were at Dick's Sporting Goods
Everlast punching bag $145 Century punching bag $399 Fightcamp punching bag $1219. Fightcamp punching bag should be more like $500.
This bag is the same as the century torrent t2 pro!
Is there a reason the boxer was only throwing his crosses low on the last bag?
The sounds from Aran are killing 😂😂🤣🤣
What’s the weight of the bag?
So Century also makes this bag and the bag you knocked over? Just built for different purposes. .
Yea dude
So ultimately yeah, they both held their punches and kicks. If that's a professional kickboxers' kick I'd knock him the f out. However, I did notice the base of the fight camp bag didn't move at all compared to the others. It actually looks pretty solid, but I'd never but it now watching how bias this "stress" test was.
This video is a good example why the removal of the dislike button was a bad idea
Can the bag be brought by its self
Better comparison is Century WaveMaker XXL or new Torrent free standing bags. Fill with 300lbs of sand or water. Bags have proper file and don't get soft. Vinyl is durable, not cheap. Add heavy duty grip tape on bottom then place on exercise mat so it does not slide. $399, but I found a used like new one for $35 on OfferUp.
Instruction: I use the Beachbody "Core de Force - MMA" video set.
Thanks for your comment pretty helpful
I was about to comment this😂
That first bag - was the base filled, or empty? If empty not a fair representation of the use.
I want to know the difference between the fight camp bag and the century torrent T2, and the wave master XXL….
Boss I want buy this .please tell me the price
2:25 When Donald Duck gets in a fight with Daffy Duck. 🦆🦢
Second ones designed for grappling mostly!
They didn't hit the last bag with the same power as they did on the others lmao
Everlast bag was obviously empty or barely filled with water or sand. Completely not a review, just a commercial for the Fight Bag which is literally the same as some of the ones century sells. The Versy Century one they showed on this review already comes with sand in it and is actually a great work out bag, it even bounces bag so you have to get out of the way. Bottom line, this was completely bias... reminds me of the Newschannels lately.:-/ Any of these 3 bags hold up well.
Dude he said it's easy to move. He looked like he was struggling lol
I like this video 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️because this is the review I was looking,other people doing the reviews and they don’t know what the hell they talking about
how much does it cost by its self
So glad I found this review video LOL
How much does it cost
Damn I thought I was watching a real comparison then realised it was an advert
Advertising during a review lmfao his T-shirt is the company of the bag lol
Where can I get the fight fightcamp bag. I mean the last one. Someone tell me
Hi! We offer a two packages on our website that include our bag !
joinfightcamp.com
FightCamp is there any way to get only the bag?
Which Fight Camp bag should we choose.... :)
The Century fightbag DOES in fact suck if you're looking for a workout. You can get a great cardio workout by punching it and hitting it when it swings back, creating a little timing rhythm, but it'll eventually start sagging as the foam becomes squished down or the bag stretches, and then its worthless again. Just because you can do a dozen things with it doesn't mean it does any of those things well...
Best ad ever! 😂
These guys are barely touching the last one, so it would probably fall off easily, also the other bags aren’t filled with sand or water to make them look bad.
Aaron's bark seems worse than his bite 😂
Hey that's a non-specific national kickboxing champion you're talking about there
The noise the kick-boxer makes is hilarious
The kickboxer sounded like peter griffin in wild mode
Love it. Luke looks boss.
Waluigi man going insane cuh
Imagine just the fight bag falling faster than the century bag
The third bag is the best bag but you can buy that kind from other brands besides just fight camp
Nobody:
Special Ed. kids in the hall way making weird songs: 2:24
$1200 FOR A BAG
No, it's $1200 for our entire system that includes the tech.
Way too expensive plus you have to pay for a membership 😒.
I've just started doing Fight Camp videos :)
What a shame of a review, was about to flag this as scam.. but the grunting is way too fun 🤣🤣
T-rex punches on the fightcamp bag lol
You don’t know what bag to get never fear Tommy’s here
