Century BOB - Opponent Body Bag

A great partner for sparring techniques or target work, the original BOB - Body Opponent Bag is a realistic mannequin with a vinyl "skin" for more realistic self-defense training.

You've seen it on TV shows, in your favorite movies, in news clips, and in the windows of your local dojo. That's right, it's BOB, the Body Opponent Bag!

BOB was the very first mannequin training bag for martial arts. So what makes a Body Opponent bag so special ? BOB gives you a realistic human torso shape for a striking surface. Since you're training to fight against a human (presumably), this form allows you to train with a higher level of precision than a regular heavy bag or punching bag.


BOB DIMENSIONS AND CONSTRUCTION:

• The mannequin is 30 inches tall and approx. 20" wide (width and diameter vary at head, neck, chest and waist)
• The base has a diameter of 24" and measures 19.5" in height (not including the internal stem)
• The base can be filled with sand or water
• Convenient port with screw cap on top of base for filling
• Holds up to 270 lbs. sand or water
• Height adjusts from 60" total to 78" total
• 7 height adjustments in total
• BOB's "skin" is vinyl, with an internal hard plastic cylinder for structural support
• The base is made of hard, sturdy plastic

Can you imagine always having a training partner available ? Someone who won't back down from the hardest punches and kicks ? That's what it feels like have BOB in your home or gym!

Space is no problem with BOB either! The Body Opponent Bag is a freestanding bag, with a rounded base. To move BOB, you can easily tip the base on its side and roll it into storage. Keep it in a corner, closet, or other out-of-the-way place until it's time to practice. So take it out and get to work!

BOB is ideal for training almost any standing martial arts! Any martial art that would use a regular punching bag, heavy bag, or heavy hanging bag will also work with BOB. Karate? Of course! Taekwondo ? Of course! Tang soo do, muay thai, kung fu ? You bet! And if you train a martial art with tactical applications, like krav maga or jeet kune do, then you'll really notice the value of BOB. You can practice strikes that are not legal in competition, such as slaps, palm hooks, eye pokes, etc.
