Basically a high quality standing punching “bag” endorsed by Bas Rutten. I’ve gone through a ton of punching bags over the years, and the ordeal of having to suspend them and lug them around sucks, and now that I’m a home owner I REALLY don’t want to start suspending a heavy bag from my home.
You can see Bas using it here
Ooooh it’s actually huge! Looks great. The punches/reaction of the apparel must feel much more like “the real thing”
Will you be posting video of Bas Rutten Body Action System PR’s in your training log?
Videos will be even darker, as this will be in the basement instead of the garage.
That thing actually looks pretty sweet. Is it stab-resistant for some of Bas’ more aggressive techniques?
Pretty much everything is stab resistant until it isn’t.
Or do the exercises prescribed either.
I second this. With that base of conditioning, I would love to see the results of a disciplined attempt.
Nando’s.
Nantre’s
That thing is a great idea.
I have wanted one for a LONG time but couldn’t justify it with all my other conditioning toys.
…oh man, that looks so awesome.
Please tell me that 50+ adults are not allowed to purchase this.
edit: how much square footage of space do you think that thing needs?
According to their sales bot on facebook, the width a the widest is 55" and the deepest part is 38".
What else are you gonna spend your money on during quarantine? Haha.
Hopefully some charitable acts, but certainly some stupid shit too.
I’m on BAS’s website right now. You got the base model? It looks fun but now that I’m thinking about buying something to hit, what would you say the advantage of this is over a heavy bag?
Okay I watched the complete video and I understand Bas completely now. Everything is clear I’m sorry there was ever a misconception. There’s no substitute for the liver shot.
Yeah, the Bas website spells it all out well. I still like heavy bags when someone else hangs them for me, but for home use it always sucks, especially with how often I move. It’ll be nice to have something on the floor instead of the roof.
Should also break my habit of punching straight from the shoulder instead of up at the head.
Edit: OH yeah, got the base model.
I’m buying something to hit, and now the challenge becomes talking myself out of the deluxe model. I also want to be extremely clear that I’m not looking for any kind of problem with Bas, and my earlier criticism was rooted in rank ignorance and inexcusable doubt about Bas’ training methods.
As a somewhat related tangent, I confess that I’m looking forward to seeing what people’s “bad day” jiu jitsu looks like when we can all grapple again.
How does your shit hold up when you’ve been off of the mats for a while?
My trick was to always be a brute force spaz even on my good days so no one could tell the difference, haha. A wrestling background was a blessing and a curse for me when it came to jits.
I confess I’ve drank 3 glasses of whisky and it got me well. Had not in a while. Honestly doesn’t feel really great and most likely will increase my sticking to my diet
In my experience three glasses of whiskey can be anywhere from ideal to excessive.
It mostly depends on the size of the glass.
