Century BOB XL moves around minimally, meaning you can focus on targetry, combinations, or mixing up combos on the fly without worrying about it moving about so you miss punches or strikes. A great partner for sparring techniques or target work, the original BOB - Body Opponent Bag is a life-like mannequin with a vinyl "skin" for more realistic self-defense training. Einziges Manko: Die Befüllungsöffnung ist etwas klein für Sand und man sollte Quarzsand statt Spiekastensand kaufen - das erleichtert das Befüllen sehr! They mention it feels good at touch/punch, is soft enough to be used without gloves, and the rubber is very nice to hit.

Having visually representative areas to target is fantastic as it gets you used to the distance between you and your opponent and prepares you to reach the sensitive areas of the body. Having turned my garage into a mini-gym a few years ago, I was on the hunt for a decent training aid for my martial arts training. After using it for the last two years regularly I can safely say it was the best decision for me by far.

The bag is made very well and all of the detailed parts of the body really help accuracy for kicks, punches,palms etc. and the best part about having BOB as a partner is that he doesn't complain that I'm hitting too hard! They tend to get in my way, and I’ll never wear even MMA gloves in a real fight, so I prefer to just wrap.

Very simply, you can adjust the height of the unit with 6 variations between 60 inches to 78 inches (5‘0– 6’5).The bag would often move in directions I didn’t want and, if there was nobody else there, I would have to keep steadying it myself which becomes a pain after a while especially when doing combinations. Perfect for use "feet and fists" it allows you to train yourself struggling, with percussion and precision on one of the real target. The free standing punch bag with zones is marked with target areas, guiding users in precision training.
