The Double End Bag is Better for a Home Gym | Homemade DIY Boxing Equipment

The double end bag is probably one of the easiest ways to improve your skills at home. The one I use is pretty good. I like the size and it was one of the cheaper ones (affiliate link)

Just got mine yesterday, and I absolutely love it. It’ll definitely improve hand/eye coordination, and if you’re not quick enough it’ll bop you when you least expect it. Best part is I’m not thinking of it as a chore because I’m having so much fun training with it.

[@renewed6250]

True, so long as you want to do strict boxing and do not want train mid or low kicks, knees, clinch, etc. So...if you do a collapsible d-ring in the floor, you can actually make it pretty easy to alternate the same space between heavy bag and reflex bag. They are simply different tools for different purposes, if you want speed and endurance with your arms up, speed bag. If you want coordinated movement and striking - reflex bag. If you want power and varied technique...heavy bag. You can get away with all 3 in a pretty small amount of space though.

[@CrashMatty]

I used to make a double end bag out of a basketball in a mesh bag hooked up go bungee chords. I got a real bag last Christmas and love it. Way more engaging than a heavy bag.

[@michaelanthony2395]

the single most important piece of equipment for striking arts. you can also practice hand fighting, you'll sometimes get tied up in it, just like you might an opponents arms, can practice various clenches and can attach noodle segments to the rope for something to grab. super cheap. versatile. completely mobile, can backpack and hang it in a park or the woods. I hang mine super loose sometimes so it has a slow wide arc and is good for head movement training . my favorite

[@willk1980]

Couldn't agree more! The double end bag is the single most important piece of home training equipment in my opinion. You can set them up anywhere and have a lot of flexibility in setups with different sizes and strap/bungee tensions. It's also the only bag that hits back :) Throw on some 16oz gloves and build some serious speed and strength, since it helps enforce keeping your hands up. Love the DIY version with the ball too!

[@edwardrio9840]

Made one ! Thanks I love it not only for for speed ,and timing ,but also to practice head movement after combos ,and coming right back with combos after head movement

[@degrind6496]

Hey, how's the bag? Is it still holding up?

[@RMS550]

I love this bag... It helped me improve a lot. Other than pads and sparring it's probably the most practical. A heavy bag serves only the purpose of working on combinations and power... But it's unrealistic, because people move and hit back...

[@IcyMikeP]

They all have their uses.

[@paulpurcell5080]

On the homemade version use short sections of "pool noodle" to cover the carabiners and bungee hooks. Protects your hands in case beginners miss high or low.

[@whatcousinsplay3255]

I use that. It gives a slight feeling of getting hit back also.

Yeah maybe I'll do a DIY of that next.

[@darthpunk3510]

Brad Howell respectfully disagrees. His boxing training consisted of running, jump rope, heavy bag, sparring, and sit ups, literally nothing else. He was an undefeated Marine champ and Olympic silver medalist, lost only twice and one was to Leon Spinks. He was very adamant about not needing mitts or any other bags other than a heavy bag and most of his training regimen time was spent on the heavy bag. He also coached and trained a bunch of other Marines that became champs. I would consider his advice and experience when it comes to training boxers a tad bit higher than people with less experience at the top level of boxing and less boxing champs under his tutelage. That being said I always enjoy your content and usually agree with everything u say 👍

[@L0rd_Br0tat0]

@@gear3919 so I made it with a juggling ball, wrapped it in tape not unlike what Mike was showing here, then I used bungie cord to attach it. One end tied to the ball, the other end either tied to a hook in the ceiling for the top one or to a dumbbell for the bottom one.

[@jennoscura2381]

That's way cool. Next time I go to the thrift shop I will have to look for a ball. My power rack has a pullup bar. I got one of those cable exercise deals that atraches to a pullup bar. For the weight it uses a loading pin that you put weight plates on and attach to the cable. The loading pin would work great as the bottom support. I can attach the top part to the strap that holds the pully to pullup bar. I am a wheelchair user and carry a stinger. A double end ball would make a great tool to practice striking with the stinger. All I have to do is sit in a chair when I am practicing since in a self defense situation I am most likely going to be sitting in my wheelchair. Thanks for this awesome idea. I am poor. So I love how cheap this is to make.

Looks like the double end bag is great for speed, accuracy, and agility. Roy Jones used it a lot and was a master at it. The heavy bag is great for building power and to work on some of those combos like mike Tyson. It’s also great for kicks- need something heavy and steady to swing at and build power.

[@teamjesus7087]

Also try taking the bottom bungee cord off and then try punch dribbling the ball straight up to the ceiling. Talk about a great shoulder workout. It will bounce off the ceiling as the rope swings back at a 45-degree angle. As you move around the room in a circle pattern, you will leave a black ring so put something up first to protect the paint. Works great for KIcks. Kick dribbling off the ceiling is hard to do but awesome. Shorting & lengthening rope for different effects.

Slightly off topic, but i recently bought two mooring buoys off ebay. Basically they are the same patent as the water boxing bags, only bright red/orange. I have one that was advertised as approx 32cm diameter x 62cm long (called a 'single eye buoy'), and its been great as a heavy bag. The water absorbs the blows and it doesn't swing around as much as a traditional heavy bag. The other one is much smaller, like a 25cm diameter ball filled with water. Its small, but it still has some weight to it and when you connect you can feel it, but its small enough to get swinging about, so you can practice foot work, head movement, and hitting a moving target. Combined, the two were cheaper than a heavy bag as well. In a local aussie sports store, i would pay around 120 to 150 for a heavy bag (nothing special, a 4 ft bag), whereas the large buoy was only 88 bucks, and the smaller headhunter was around $30 Australian. highly recommended.

If you train unsupervised, you’re gonna grow on your mistakes and bad habits without realizing. I’d try to keep things simple and work in front of the mirror in that case.

@@umbrellastation25 kinda has a point... I really recommend you get some kind of training to go along with it but I think this is even better for beginners than a heavy bag.

Yea if you like hitting air

Are you trying to be a boxer in fights? Or just for fun? If it's just for fun go for it

Hey Mike, not sure if anyone has commented, but I use a basketball net and 2 carabiners with a soccer ball and it works great, old inner tube as well from a bike too. Loved the video!

[@hard2hurt]

Yeah a few people made them with that and tagged me... looks like it works well.

lol" how long you like it or how tight you like it "

[@ronnie-sillyme0560]

Never even considered making one. Or even how easy and basic it is to rig one up. Good video man. Gonna rig one up and use it today. Thanks.

He has the funniest reaction to his own fruity suspect comments

[@IcyMikeP]

I'm thinking about all you guys reacting to them.

You are right. I spend time with that bag than the heavy bag. It also makes yourself shoulder relax. It also trains you to control your punches when you hit only air. It is like a real fight
