Home training: a boxing mannequin or a pear?

A knockout blow is the dream of every boxer. But to make this dream come true, it is necessary to train hard. And, traditionally, a punching bag is used for this , on which the blows are put and worked. If you buy it for home, you can face a number of problems, ranging from fasteners, lack of space and ending with the discontent of family members. How to avoid them? Let us turn to the thematic forums where the reviews are posted. The boxing mannequin, in the opinion of the athletes who communicate there, is a worthy alternative to the pear.

Benefits

This shell, unlike the pear, is devoid of the listed shortcomings. On the one hand, it is stable, but on the other hand, it can easily be moved to any place in the room. At manufacturing materials, excluding loud sounds during training are used. After the blow, the boxing mannequin does not swing, but only slightly deflects, and then returns to its place. This feature of the projectile will be useful for novice fighters who have not yet worked out the strength and precision of the strike. After all, an incorrectly struck blow on a tough boxing pear can injure the ligaments of the brush. The undeniable advantage of the dummy is that it is possible to train on it without gloves. The surface is very plastic, which allows to strike any force without risk of injury. Well, perhaps, the most important advantage of a dummy is a resemblance to a real opponent. After a couple of pains in the hand blows to the pear begin to lose interest. Another thing is not painful blows on the dummy, causing the desire to continue the fight. In addition, on this projectile you can practice the accuracy of striking blows on the pain points.

Adjustment

Just like the pear, the boxing dummy is adjustable by weight. But it does not need to be removed from the mount. It is enough to remove the mannequin from the base, to remove or add the right amount of filler (sand or water). In addition, the shell is adjustable in height (fixation on 7 levels), allowing you to set the "enemy" desired growth. Usually, such a function is not provided in the attachment of a pear.

Modification and selection

It can be argued that the "transformation" of the classic pear into a boxing dummy made him a perfect projectile. Easily adjustable, not causing pain, uncomplicated in installation, noiseless, freely movable and giving the training a fascination because of the similarity with the person. The choice of the model is limited to two types - "in shorts" and a mannequin to the waist. The structural difference between these two species in the additional volume of the pelvic region and growth. In this regard, a mannequin to the waist is often mistaken for a "children's model." There are modifications of boxing pears that try to approach the level of the dummy. For example, Boyko sport. These shells have a head, leather hands in a boxing rack and legs. They are attached by four springs or chains to the ceiling and are of interest only for professional athletes.

Exploitation

After the bought boxing dummy is delivered to you home, remove its top part. Then fill the projectile with sand or water to the desired weight and fasten the top. Everything, the boxing mannequin, whose price is now relatively low (from 12 to 20 thousand rubles.), Ready for active training.
