    Wow, these look great. Next step is making them robotic! Or at least something to make them say "ouch"" each time you hit them!

    Great bags. I'll check them out

    Poor Bob. He's got no arms or legs to defend himself and yet people are constantly punching the bejesus out of him and choking him out. No wonder he looks angry, lol!

    Seriously, these things are great! I practiced at a martial arts school that had one and found it to be a very useful training partner. :)

    I have a BoB XL, filled with water. It's an awesome bit of kit but it really moves around alot. It's on carpet so doesn't slide - more so lifts and shifts with my punches. If anyone has any ideas on keeping them still feel free to add them to the comments :) - Apart from that, excellent kit

    Hey mate,
    I read somewhere in a review that a guy filled the bottom with little stones, like pebbles you would put in a garden and also put a rubber bathtub mat under the stand. He seemed happy with this set up and I will try that once my Bob arrives myself.
    I recently retired from fighting in competitions after 8 years and am looking forward to just working out with this. There is no gym where I study now and I miss banging something around. However this most def will not replace a heavy bag.. It is not meant for all out power punches and kicks, but to work accurate and fast paced combo's at 70-80% I think this is perfect.
    Hope this helps

    I have mine filled with water as well but I've added very strong tape on the bottom, try it. It will most certainly stop moving.

    Oh and by the way, awesome lens!

    "The rubber skin more closely emulates punching a real person than a regular heavy bag." For real, I saw one of these at the shopping mall last month and was tempted to tap it (not a full out punch). Does seem pretty handy.

    Another excellent site. Your design is clean and fresh without too much clutter. I like your Bas Rutten site as well - he is one of my all time favorites. I work out at his gym when I`m in L.A. - He`s the liver shot man! Cheers.
