5.0 out of 5 stars Great 4 karate and work outs, July 1, 2009

This review is from: Century Aerobic Wavemaster (Sports)

I bought this for my 9yrs old son to use for karate and kickboxing. Works better then I thought it would. I hit it with all of my force and won't move an inch. The pad is strong and absorbs kicks and punches well. The only complain I have is the hole to put in the sand in is a little small. It took an hour to fill; but once filled its great. You can adjust the height so if I use it to exercise it won't be too small. This is a great punching bag. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Century Aerobic Wavemaster (Sports)

I've only had this for about three months, so I'll try to remember to update my review after I've had it a bit longer. In the time that I've had it, though, I think it works great!

I'm not into martial arts seriously, and I bought this just so I could do my at-home kickboxing and boxing workout DVD's. (As a point of reference, I use boxing workouts from people like Cathe Friedrich, Amy Bento, and Michael Olajide.) For these workouts, it's been perfect. It adds a whole different level of intensity to your workouts. If you're stronger and more serious with your workouts, my understanding is that the Wavemaster XXL bag will be better. My husband, for instance, is a black belt in kung fu and is about 180 pounds, and the few times he's used this bag, he found it to be too light for him.

I also decided to pick up this bag as opposed to the regular Century Wavemaster since it seems to have a longer red or blue padded area, and, in fact, that is the case. Since I have terrible flexibility, can't kick that high, and am only 5'4", I wanted to be sure that I had a bag that would allow me to kick it without hurting myself, and this bag definitely fits the bill. Since the padded area is long, I can kick it and not have to worry about accidentally kicking the black base or hurting myself on it.

Another nice feature is that you can fill this with water or sand. I used a pitcher and the bathtub to fill it up, and it only took about 20 minutes to do so.

One negative is that I find that it does move when I use it. I've tried placing a yoga mat underneath and that helps a bit, but generally I just punch it in one direction, then punch it back into place going the other direction. It hasn't been an issue for me at all.

I also got the red color, which is a fun, bright color to have in my workout space.

Overall, a fun purchase. It's solid and well-built, and I can tell that it will last for years to come since, after using it weekly for the last few months, it still looks brand new.

This was just what I was looking for for at home workouts. I am only 5'3" and 115lbs. With the base filled with sand, it barely moves when I kick it. A larger person would probably have much more trouble with movement.
