Ive been doing MMA for a little while now. I recently had to stop going to my MMA gym because there asking for like $100 a month now and its getting way too expensive for me to handle. Maybe a bday present
Now i used to train in my downstairs room and that got boring so i stopped but now im gonna start back up again. So i have a regular i think 60lb bag i use for boxing but i want a good mauy thai bag.

My question is should i get the bag filled with water? I heard its easier on your legs because sand will sit and compact if you don't use it regularly. Wheres a good but inexpensive place to get one? Ebays okay i guess but anywhere else?

 

what gym were you training at? i listen bubba the love sponge on sirius and they are always talking about gracie tampa. not sure you looked into other gyms to train at.

 

ha ha i've done some training and the only thing my trainer would let me kick or hit was bamboo sticks. It deadens the nerves and hard binds the bones. Basically breaks down the bones and when they heal they heal stronger and more dense. Meaning u can hit as hard as steel. ha ha Deadening the nerves is nice so u don't feel the pain of being hit or hitting someone.

 

I was training at omega mma in clearwater. You can check out their website if you want just at omegamma.com. They have commercials during some ufc fights all the time.
A buddy of mine goes to gracie but i looked it up and it looked like the size of my room... Omegas got a regulation octagon and its fun as hell. But maybe i should check out gracie for pricing.

 

yeah thatd be fun. Im guessing cuse you were at a muay thai or kickboxing training right?

 

i was in a bunch of training. The trainer was a friend of my dad's for a part of the army that he wouldn't discuss. He was the type of trainer that pushed u way past ur limit and didn't take no for an answer. I just did it for fun.

Learned mauy thai, judo, and small part of ninjitsu but i quit training by then cause i didn't have time for it anymore. Ninjitsu is the GOOD stuff. I wish I could've finished that training.

 

Some kid at my old highschool was like a total army guy. Like everything he owned was army stuff. I guess he had training or something.... And tried to tell me that he was taught ninjitsu and that he could dodge a punch, disapear before your eyes, and break your neck.. hahaha yeah okay kid your not invisible.

 

not quite invisible but VERY silent and most of the moves are VERY deadly.

I am by no means an army brat. ha ha

I was just lucky enough to be able to use a trainer for free cause he was a friend of my dad's when they were in the army. And u don't have to learn ninjitsu to be able to dodge a punch ha ha

Heck any idiot can do that. ha ha

 

yep basically lol. He called everyone a civilian cuse he said hes gonna be an interrogator or something and already has classified information that he cant tell anyone ahahaha
The funniest thing was that he like said he lived by the morals of the army... But was a drug dealer on the side and dropped out ahahah

 

I've been training for about twenty years. I currently train at Straight Blast Gym in Portland. http://www.straightblastgym.com/

Here is a real good heavy bag. http://www.combatsports.com/detail.aspx?ID=23651

 

Thanks for the link! Should i just get it unfilled so it will be cheaper for shipping? And what should i fill it with water or sand?

 

Depends on where you live. If you can find a place to fill it then get it sent unfilled. Check to see if anywhere in your area carries them. Maybe a sporting goods store. See if they can order it filled. And no don't put water in it.
