If you are into hard hitting reality games and fast paced martial arts, then let me introduce you to BOB. BOB is an acronym for the Body Opponent Bag, and is in a class of its own from all the other punching bags. What makes this punching bag so unique is that it is designed with the proportions and realistic features of an adult male torso. Ideal for self-defense, boxing or martial art workouts, the Body Opponent Bag (BOB) is all you need as your own personal training partner.
It is specifically that quality of realism that makes it a far better training tool than regular punching bags when learning a variety of holds, specific body shots, or training in any of the forms of self defense. The BOB can be easily adjusted in height ranging from 5′6″ to 6′2″ in order to allow you to personalize your sparring partner and maximize your training workout for a variety of opponents.
The flexible spring back action will provide even more realism along with the ability to perform your workout. The “skin” is made from plastisol with an inner cavity of urethane. This combination gives the BOB (body opponent bag) a lifelike consistency which will make your target training more in line to having a human sparring partner, but much more convenient to fit your schedule.
The BOB (body opponent bag) has a wide, rounded polyethylene base which weighs approximately 270 lbs. when filled with either water or sand. This not only allows the target area to withstand high intensity impact, but the design of the BOB base also helps with stability and makes it easy to roll away when you are done your training session. Another one of the options that is available with BOB is that it can be removed from its stand for more specialized training techniques such as rolling maneuvers, grappling, or for mixed martial arts training.
Despite the larger targeting area for a more thorough workout, this mannequin of punching bags will not target your budget. The price range for this realistic addition to your exercise regimen is from the low $300’s to the upper $300’s depending on the special height and target area features. Make BOB your new all around convenient workout partner.
