The 10 Best Heavy Bags For Muay Thai

Pre-filled and ready to use just as soon as you can hang it up, the Outslayer Kickboxing (about $160) is tough enough to withstand additional filling up to a total of 300 pounds, which increases resistance to simulate actual fight conditions, taking your training to the next level.

In case you don't already have an exercise room bursting at the seams with gear, the RDX MMA Training Set (around $66) comes with everything you need to get started, including suspension hardware for wall or overhead mounting, gloves, hand wraps, a grip trainer and a jump rope.

Constructed from long-lasting premium leather, the Fairtex Teardrop (around $200) offers a more realistically curved grasping surface than a standard cylindrical bag, which is great for practicing the classic clinch-and-strike maneuvers the discipline is famous for.

Weighing in at a solid 100 pounds, the Ringside MMA (appx. $140) measures 1 x 6 feet, and comes with chains and a heavy-duty carabiner for suspension from the ceiling or a stand. It's built to withstand a lot of abuse, and its contents won't settle too quickly.

Not everyone has a sturdy ceiling joist available to support a couple of hundred pounds of training equipment, so the Century Versys Fight Simulator (appx. $250) is a freestanding unit with grips at both ends that's perfect for working on your ground-and-pound skills.

Power through speed drills to improve your timing, agility and accuracy with the Ringside Body Snatcher (around $130). Swiveling and rebounding quickly under rapid-fire assaults, it's an excellent way to get in some aerobic exercise and build endurance for the rigors of a real match.

A durable, easy-clean, synthetic leather covering and a heavy-duty chain for installing on any sturdy overhead mounting surface make the Combat Sports (around $150) a solid choice for your everyday workout regimen. It measures 13 x 72 inches and comes prefilled to 100 pounds.

There's something to be said for the quality and long-term durability of genuine cowhide, so if that's what you're looking for, the Ringside Heritage (around $700) delivers, with a soft striking surface, double- and triple-reinforced seams, and classic leather lacing.

Adding the realism of a human-shaped profile in a leather-and-nylon sparring partner who won't tire out before you do, the Ring To Cage Torso (appx. $200) can help you develop greater accuracy in your stand-up strikes and clinch techniques. It's especially useful for knee-kick drills.

Hung from sturdy nylon straps and encased in rugged, synthetic upholstery with webbing to reinforce it against your heaviest blows, the Everlast 100-Lb (about $185) offers a large striking area and lets you put plenty of power into every kick, punch or jab you decide to throw at it.
