Ingredients For Mixing Boxing Punch Bag Filler

By Juan Jose Lucero

The Internet is filled with information about boxing punch bags, and all of it is at your fingertips if you perform a simple search on Google. The most popular question is unquestionably how to fill a boxing punch bag.

Several schools of thought exist on this topic. Some feel that water is the best filler, or sand -- the ever popular choice -- 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 is the only choice here that just doesn't work, no matter what you're filling. Packing a boxing punch bag with grass will result in a soft bag that won't condition anyone's fists and will start to smell in the future.

Do consider that when it comes time to fill your boxing punch bag, you'd be best served by purchasing an empty shell from the store rather than letting your aunt sew some kind of material for you.

Even if you're looking for something more budget conscious, in the end, your sister's sewed boxing punch bag will end up costing you more money and time than if you'd have purchased one in the first place. The consistency of the bag will be all wrong.

So what's the alternative? Well, you can't just buy a sack and call it a day. A sack is not designed to take a brutal beating, day in and day out. This kind of pressure is going to wear on it very quickly, so again buying a sack is going to drain your time and wallet.

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.

Some ingredients you can use to fill your boxing punch bag include:

* Anything cotton

* Yarn or cloth made from wool

* Plain old air

* A mattress' foam

* Liquid, such as water

* Used and unwanted clothing

* Saw dust or shreddings

* Pillow or any other type of feathers

* Non-cooked rice

* Any kind 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's what the boxing clubs do -- something no one will probably tell you, even if you ask for an honest answer. Here is the formula.

Be sure to pack your boxing punch bag tight with cloth until there is no looseness remaining. Be careful here because if any looseness remains, your bag will be too soft and it will become deformed by punches.

What do you do to combat this?

Pour fine sand into your bag and let it fall to the bottom to weight it and keep the right shape. Line the walls with cloth torn from sleeping bags, or even army sacks if you have them available.

Fill the middle of the boxing punch bag with feathers for example and any type of rubber that's available. - 17269
