How To Make Punching Bag - Detailed Instructions

In this video I show how to make a punching bag from old tires, two PVC tubes and two tie-down straps. Quick and easy & low cost.
Update: See my DIY channel transformed into a global brand producing the world's first modular cobra bag: kewlus.com/

[@MiggsMultiple]

I made one of these using Bugatti Veyron Michelin Pilot sport PAX...cost me around $60,000 ...but what a punching bag....

[@tobadsosad8679]

Okay, yes. This is a fantastic idea for an outdoor bag! Finally, a bag my wife will allow me to have. TY much!

[@VICNCRAIG]

Just wanted to say thank you for uploading this. It was just the inspiration I was looking for to build a durable outdoor bag, which I've now done, and it's cost next to nothing. I made it using 8 tyres (approx. 5ft), and it weighs 60kg. I ran the straps through the centre's of the pipes so I could add a bigger tyre on top to act as a kind of uppercut doughnut. I highly recommend this to anyone thinking about making their own; it's something your rarely get on a heavy bag and feels great. Just don't run the pipe as close as I have to the outside of the tyres, especially if using soft tyres, or you'll feel the pipe. I thought there may be a chance the pipes may break making it this way, but despite my best efforts over the past few months I haven't been able to get them to.

[@rocket5557]

Cool idea! Maybe you could put a bigger diameter tire on top to work uppercuts?

[@Kewlus]

Yeah, great idea! Thanks - I will have to try that!

I like that it's better than a regular punching bag it can stand the weather

[@QuiChiYang2]

Looking 4 a cheap & easy way to make a durable punching bag 4 my son, & you sir are a Godsend as well as a genius. Minute 1 saw this I built it 20 bucks, works well for practicing escrima as well. Thank you very much 4 posting this video.

[@tanyasrivastav_]

This is such a clever idea. Truly helpful. Thank you

[@PrecisionBoxing]

awesome!

[@uncutorange2735]

Wow

[@Pashmotatoe]

Bruh

[@ultrasinful]

that's so awesome and so simple... I'm glad I salvaged my tires and I'm glad I watched this video. Thanks for the upload and how to dude! =D!!!

[@khabibsfavoritetiramisu5727]

Perfect. Thanks for the upload. I ruined my heavy bag after letting it be outside for 3 years "whata POS i am", the stuffing got rained down so the top half is empty and the bottom is hard as a rock. This will be way better and it'll last outside:)

[@eggyolked108]

You deserve a Nobel peace prize.

[@isthis1beingused]

Wow! I've never thought of this. First I've seen. Very good enginuity! So that's why I keep wanting to collect all of the old tires I keep finding. I suppose the tires could even be filled if someone could use a very heavy heavy bag.

[@manuelgraterol7982]

This is a great idea, really appreciate the instructions!

[@zrzucbrzuch666]

Nice video :) I was make this kind of punching bag but with some different way. However, punching bag making of used tires is good idea :)

[@valkyriereginleif4103]

Best part that I see is that it'll never get moldy, rust, or fall apart due to the elements. And, nobody will be tempted to steal it (hopefully). :) It's not easy to hang bags outdoors in the high desert where the weather changes from insanely hot to freezing at the drop of a hat.

[@knowidea7485]

Excellent Video

[@gaibrielsimpson7746]

You can get old tires free if you look in the right places, I used thick bolts with nuts and washer 4 per tire didn't cost too much

[@grandtheftminecraft37]

Cool punching bag i wish i had this punching bag!

[@andrewgjennings]

Well done! Consider a similar design made of a coil spring (and a seriously solid base) for a free-standing punching bag.

[@philmoufarrege]

I love your creativity. excellent video!

[@dropweightdaddy]

VERY Creative!!!

[@Kewlus]

Thanks. One tire weighs around 10kg (20 ponds). The bag has 6 tires, so around 60 kg or 120 pounds. If you need it to be lighter, try 5 tires. If you want a heavier bag, add more tires or use larger tires.

[@davemalon4389]

Fantastic outdoor bag. Just wish I had the space to have one of these. Great work man :-)

[@dmitrykandov277]

Thank you. :-)

[@LonesomeElk]

Thank you for sharing!

[@ilikeyoutubecoolvids]

this is so smart!! you rock man.

[@serhioromano]

This is cool. I think support strap from bottom would be most perfect to help to keep bag stable.

[@TheManWithNoInsides]

Creative idea. Nice.

[@domukas00]

Really good way to make a boxing bag - i have made one too, but you definitely need fist and shin protections to punch/kick it

[@carpejkdiem]

Thank you for this vid its a gr8 idea and you explained what you shared excellently

[@alexandersantalov1841]

Nice job, Dima!

[@johnmar1622]

thanks bro, this is the best one, i am going to make one like yours, thanks....

[@alsask2010]

well done i am going to try to make my own with your plan

[@hley1510]

Nice one..keep posting

[@lowlowseesee]

yo wait you're ripped?! this is insane lol

[@Kewlus]

That was 10 years ago 😂

[@GAMEOVERttp]

Finally People complaining about it been cheaper to buy a real heavy bag have no idea what weathering does to a heavy bag when you have to keep it outside. Especially in shitty bad weather countries.

[@xstorm_8_shadowx]

The Pixel Paradox 5 years later, but you can get tires for free from tire change shops and you can use heavy bolts, washers and nuts to fasten them together. Then chains to hang it.

[@nengcabanos]

nice !!!!good !!!!!

[@NoSpillsChills]

This is genius

[@21ElMandio]

This is what I need to do thanks.

[@MasaruNatsu]

This is really great and good Idea.. just what I was looking for..

[@elpatricio7790]

good idea man

[@Nicraz00]

Thank you. The drill bit wasn't a problem but the actual drill was. I had a hard time drilling through the tire. I probably need something more powerful.

[@minidiscgolfguy3551]

Thanks im going to make this exact design.

[@MThaiKid]

Thanks for the clip!! How is the bag holding up?

[@jerd5182]

NICE

[@pauls9256]

i don't have room in the house to hang a heavy bag. so i have to use one strictly outdoors. this thing works perfectly for a bag you can just leave outside. and for the gloves i just duct taped an old pair of cheap Everlasts, not using my Grants on this thing.

[@SenseiEli]

Great Idea.

[@Arcomade]

You could also cut one tire in half and attach it to a wall.

[@timnavarrette2670]

That’s brilliant only struggle is measurements but other than that ima take your idea. The stand gonna be hard but well worth it

[@AmazonWildman]

This seems more secure. I've tried the bolt together style and my tires were too pliable and they stretched considerably at the joints. I'll probably end up reinforcing it with the Tie-down method. Good vid mate.

[@Kewlus]

Thanks mate 🤙

[@MartialArtsTutorialsFighttips]

bad ass tutorials

[@allanh2360]

Awesome idea. I came to watch this as I didn't fancy paying out for what they charge for them these days and I will definitely be making this. about to watch the one about making a stand too. keep up the videos bro

[@Kewlus]

[@heedthegreatness3136]

+Total Fitness Project what could I replace the pcv pipes with

[@Kewlus]

+Heed The Greatness 313 you could try bamboo

[@DoomRater]

Hah, never thought to use PVC to hold the tires together instead of bolting them together. Now that's awesome. too bad I'll have to borrow some drill bits to make the hole big enough for something like that, as opposed to just using half inch drill bits that come with any standard drill kit.

[@CannibalLecter]

came by courtesy of zednoughtalpha, great video btw

[@FightworldOrg]

it's a special drill bit for making large diameter holes - ask for it at your hardware store. It normally comes as a set of different large diameters.

[@christiangoand7213]

You should drill small holes to the lowest tire, so that rain water can drain. Nice idea

[@Kewlus]

Great idea! 💡😃

[@cholo85044]

Michelin wheeels😱😱😱😱

[@xyriath]

nice project and creative, i like it , smart and cheap... but i find the diameter of a the tires a bit to big for a punching bag ... there are any tires with smaller diameter that can be used to build a bit smaller in diameter bag ? i also need to make a longer one for kick combos...

[@FireEater]

Nice job maybe a couple more tires for more weight.

[@h3Xh3Xh3X]

Make it with studded tyres and kick without padding for best effect

[@haironyourscreen1182]

You broke my shin bone :(

[@yastinsb]

That is really good my legs there rock now haha professional kick boxer

[@adamsossamon5819]

Just make sure they dont TIRE out haha

[@dmitrykandov277]

lol

[@reignrelic]

Thanks for the vid.. I maid mine today.

[@Kewlus]

Awesome bro!

[@alsask2010]

what is the weight of the 6 tire punching bag. how do the straps hold up. do they wear out quickly

[@spawn314159]

bolt the tyres together instead?:)

[@gcmejia5916]

nice!! i wanna make one of these one day.

[@ashtonhughes2173]

Go to a tire shop or mechanic and ask for some old used tires and you can git them for free or real cheap

[@IamHueGraves]

it seems like you could do this without the straps by having a hole in the bottom and top and just having the bottom of the spine have ends to keep them from falling and hanging it through the spines since the are hollow anyway... I'll try that and see how it works

[@jackmaximus5520]

That's not a bad idea - I might have to try that out. I'll post a video when I do.

[@Samson4087]

Good idea

[@lucasbrajdic5776]

How is the wear and tear on your gloves when hitting tires compared to a heavy bag?

[@RaminiBatangBurunzi]

NIce one Bro.

[@Kewlus]

Try with some long pants first. The rubber has a slapping effect on flesh, especially on the top of the foot, even though you're kicking with the shin.

[@laryangel4082]

Cool

[@Kewlus]

don't forget the spare one as well! lol!!!!

[@jonathanroche732]

great job bro. do you have an idea how much this bag weighs though?

[@BTLAGS]

What size tires did you use? All tires list a size on the side wall. it's idea what to use

[@Kyle-Jade]

Very good idea. wonder if there's a way to avoid using the straps, maybe a long threaded bolt through the tires with nuts on each end to tighten? probably cost a lot more though.

[@Kewlus]

Thank you Kyle. True, bolts and nuts would be more costly and more complicated. If I had to do it again, instead of straps I would just use heavy duty polypropylene rope like in my latest Total Stand.

[@Kyle-Jade]

Dim's Total Stand Oh! sounds much better. My cars due for some new wheels, Ill do that when I get the chance. thanks

[@AFROTHINKER]

You could also place the rope on the inside too. So it won't show outside. I think it will look more aesthetic.

[@Kewlus]

Yeah, that's a great idea!

[@Kewlus]

Yes I used rope in later versions. The rope can go through the PVC pipe rather than on the outside of the tire

[@Kewlus]

Yep just like that

[@aimelkhan3273]

very uual bag

[@FightworldOrg]

Yes, you're probably best off to use a power drill as opposed to a battery powered one. I have a lithium battery one which has a bit more power - the green one you see in the video. It's called MAC Master.

[@francecruz5157]

how heavy is this bag? thinking of making one and using it for weighted carries and presses

[@Kewlus]

Don’t really know but very heavy

[@theamazingfartpants]

This is completly GAY! I use truck rims and no gloves.

[@dylan1552236]

Well, there goes your hands.

[@theamazingfartpants]

+RiceGames Here in my country we don't have hands, we have claws.

[@dylan1552236]

theamazingfartpants Oh man, that's sick. I only have hands :/

[@theamazingfartpants]

RiceGames Naaaa... I was only kidding.

[@frankbufframirez]

Are you talking about them Tonka toy truck rims??? yeah I use them too!

[@s-dubsw2013]

All the tires should have drain holes cuz if water gets in there bugs and mosquitos will too

[@romeodraiba776]

thx man

[@sorntham6516]

Question: have you tried kicking it with your bare shins? And do you recommend it more then using pads

[@Kewlus]

yes I have tried that and the rubber on flesh really hurts with hard impact

[@sexualharassmentpanda7273]

I've seen Buakaw training on one of these before.

[@jerichojoe307]

Great idea, my only worry is that you said about going to the scrap yard and asking for tires if they could donate, problem I see with this is that although it would take a lot of time these tires are already worn or cut into like the clearly visible cut seen on the top tire you put onand a serious trainer is still going to wear off rubber give a good solid kick when that steel belting starts to peak out and see how long it takes to dig out those metal slivers. I'd recommend getting dollar store duck tape and wrap the hell out of it after filling in those slices with pure silicone. Then this thing will last forever.

[@DoomRater]

You'd be surprised how many tires have to be tossed simply because the hole is unpatchable due to it being too deep or in the wall of the tire. Also, heat damaged tires are undrivable but they still have their tread depth just fine. Honestly you could beat on it with a sledgehammer for a hundred years and it'll still be around longer than your sledge.

[@sorntham6516]

Anyways I kinda had an idea what if you wrap it with a long as hardish softish foam around it and taped it on do you think if would be a pretty good diy heavy bag so like you can do a lot of stuff on it without padding in your shins

[@Kewlus]

yes that's a good idea. I had previously wrapped a yoga mat around it and that worked well

[@Kewlus]

[@MThaiKid]

I saw some other guy use nuts/bolts/washers to keep them all together.

[@VanessaAbreuLatinaForever]

Won't the tube break after a while due the the daily punching? Plus I'm in the uk so where could I get the straps and tubes?

[@mikeo3151]

b&q! screwfix

[@DoomRater]

The straps do most of the work holding the tires together by friction.

[@SuperPhayton]

I hurt my foot. Ankle all swollen up, does this improve. Get stronger feet!?

[@Kewlus]

You need to take care not to strike with your foot but with your shin

[@tessyvegas]

[@Nicraz00]

What type of drill did you use?

[@kabukiarmadillo]

Yeesh. I think this is a good way to bugger your wrists and forearms up.

Every bit as forgiving as a store bought bag.

Wrap a yoga mat around the bag and should be fine 👌

That would be nice to see how to build if u ever make a video. I'm subscribing and waiting for that if u ever get around to it because I'm not very handy. Good luck with it and very creative and cheap. That bag will never go bad on u that's for sure!

[@vToneehh]

why is your picture on youtube a pic of you with gloves up, thats the saddest shit i've ever seen, when i see martial artists telling/showing off that they do a martial art.. so gay

[@vToneehh]

Iron Toledo Incase you didn't know i have been doing Muay Thai for 3 and a half years. So stay quiet.. You 'boxers' all have the same attitude resort to violents at the first step, I would stick to beating on your bag mate, you can't even throw a jab properly, i'd give you 1 leg kick in the ring and you would scream.. I'm telling you that as a fact buddy. Stop resorting to violence you wannabe. I've fought 13 Muay Thai fights and finished them all. 'Boxers' Shake my fucking head at you lairy cunts.

[@A_normal_cup_of_bone_fluid]

This reply is for both of you. Toneehh, you wreak of bullshit. You knock on him for making his profile pic of him wearing gloves and saying he's showing off, yet you claim to have 13 amatuer muay thai bouts that you've finished everytime. That's bullshit. Don't play the "i dont care if you don't believe me." Because you do care. That's why you're trying so desperately to convince him that you're better than he is. Iron Toldeo, you're dealing with an asshole but it also makes you look like an asshole when you say you'd knock him the fuck out for saying that to your face. I know he's an asshole, and I'm mostly on your side.

[@A_normal_cup_of_bone_fluid]

vToneehh you're simply an idiot. I can't get over how absurdly stupid you are, and how oblivious you are to that fact. You can't generalize all boxers like that, and you clearly were looking to instigate. You aren't doing muay thai for the right reason if you're just doing it to brag online. You won't go far, and I doubt you're as experienced in muay thai as you claim to be. If you were that experienced you'd realize how stupid you sound. I wish your kru could see what you were writing. He would undoubtedly boot you from the school, or humble you.

[@jandro8370]

Im proud to box and its my life so why not a pic of that? Can't imagine why it would make some one mad. No one pays $300 for a pair of Cletos if they are fake. I train my ass off and I have videos of me training and love advice good or bad. Someone has a problem I keep a gym waiver in my car and tell to shut up and sign and meet me at my gym.

which is better for shin conditioning? Kicking tires or kicking bags?

+John McHenry either. Also can wrap a yoga mat around the tire bag to soften the impact slightly

So far no problems, but might have to replace the straps soon.
