Tear Drop Heavy Bags

The overwhelming selection of punching bags can be daunting. There are training bags of every imaginable weight, shape, and size -- each of them, used for different aspects and disciplines of combat training.

TRADITIONAL VS. TEARDROP

While the traditional heavy bag is known to develop punching power, the teardrop punching bag is used by fighters to develop speed, timing and accuracy. Because of the teardrop’s shape and weight, it is ideal for training close strikes and tactics.
The Teardrop bag allows boxers to train uppercuts, short hooks and body shots and is perfect for working on MMA style knees and the “Muay Thai Clinch,” as well as low kicks.

BAG WEIGHT

The weight of the teardrop training gives just enough resistance to increase shoulder, torso, and leg strength, while light enough so the swing and movement of the bag assists in the development of rhythm, reflex and footwork.

HANGING THE BAG

HOW TO HANG THE BOXING TEARDROP BAG

When hanging the Teardrop Heavy Bag for boxing training, the bottom of the tear should hang at solar plexus -- mid chest level, to allow for uppercut drills.

KICKBOXING - MUAY THAI - MMA TEARDROP BAG

For Kickboxing, Muay Thai and MMA training the bottom of the tear should be set just about waist to solar plexus level, with the top of the tear at eye height to allow for the practice of the clinch.
