Jessica Chavez85 said:I started Muay Thai classes this year and I think I’m hooked after the very first session. Since my gym is wrapping up the season on Saturday, June 30th 🙂, I decided it was time to get a heavy bag. I don't really know much about them, other than the fact that I need one that reaches the floor. What should I look for? Any specific advice? Maybe regarding the filling or something else? 😕
I suppose this is the third "help me buy a bag" thread in the last month.
😬
Did they actually tell you there wouldn't be training over the summer?
I know a friend of mine had BJJ sessions running all through last summer.
They weren't official sanctioned classes, but they still happened.
As for the bag... I guess you should first consider where and how you plan to install it, then choose based on that. You have the freestanding ones (decent for an apartment, though I suspect hitting them might cause more damage to your place than actual training benefits) or the hanging ones.
You can find those freestanding models at Dick's Sporting Goods. They also carry hanging versions. You might want to check out sites like ProFightGear as well.
And you could always just ask your coach for their opinion.
