Get realistic training with BOB, the Body Opponent Bag. BOB XL has a longer torso than the original BOB, giving you more striking surface for body shots and kicks.
You’ve seen him 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 first-ever mannequin training bag for martial arts. So, what is it that makes a Body Opponent bag so special? BOB gives you a realistic human torso shape for a striking surface. Since you are training to fight against a human (presumably) this shape allows you to train with a higher level of accuracy than a regular heavy bag or punching bag.
BOB DIMENSIONS AND CONSTRUCTION:
- Mannequin is 42” tall and approx. 15.5” wide (width and diameter vary at head, neck, chest, waist)
- Base has a diameter of 24” and is 19.5” tall (not counting internal stem)
- Base can be filled with sand or water
- Convenient port with screw-on cap on top of base for filling
- Holds up to 270 lbs. of sand or water
- Height adjusts from 60” total to 82” total
- 7 height settings total
- BOB’s “skin” is made of vinyl, with an internal hard plastic cylinder for structural support
- Base is made of hard, sturdy plastic
Can you imagine always having a training partner readily available? Someone who won’t flinch away from the toughest punches and kicks? That’s what it’s like to have BOB in your home or gym!
Space isn’t an issue with BOB, either! The Body Opponent Bag is a freestanding bag, with a rounded base. To move BOB, you can easily tip the base onto its side and roll it into a storage space. Keep it in a corner, closet, or other out-of-the-way area until it is time to train. Then bring it out and get to work!
BOB is ideal for training in just about all standing martial arts! Any martial art that would use a regular punching bag, heavy bag, or heavy hanging bag, will work with BOB as well. Karate? Sure! 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 competition legal, like slaps, palm heel hooks, eye jabs, and more.
