MMA Equipment Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a punch bag and a Thai bag?

Punch bags (4ft) are designed primarily for boxing punches and are shorter. Thai bags (5-6ft) are longer to accommodate high kicks, knee strikes, and the full range of Muay Thai techniques. Strike bags (5ft) offer a middle ground suitable for both punching and kicking.

Do I need to mount bags to the ceiling?

No. Freestanding bags like the Physical, Jordan, Escape, Fitness Mad, and NOHrD YA'FI models require no installation. Simply fill the base with water or sand for stability. These are ideal for renters, circuit training, or facilities without suitable ceiling structures.

How much weight do I need in a freestanding bag base?

Most freestanding bags require 100-170lbs (45-77kg) of water or sand in the base. Water is easier to fill and empty but sand provides superior stability for heavy hitters. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for your specific model.

What's the difference between grappling gloves and boxing gloves?

Grappling gloves (6-8oz) are fingerless with open palms, allowing you to grip, grapple, and perform functional exercises while still protecting knuckles for striking. Boxing gloves (12-16oz) are fully enclosed and designed solely for punching. Grappling gloves offer more versatility for MMA training.

Can I use boxing equipment for MMA training?

Yes, but MMA training benefits from specialized equipment. While punch bags work for boxing technique, Thai bags and pads are essential for kicks and knees. Grappling gloves, shin guards, and body armour enable realistic MMA-specific training that boxing equipment alone cannot provide.

What size Thai pads should I buy?

Standard Thai pads (like our Physical, Carbon Claw, and Jordan models) measure approximately 37-40cm length x 20-21cm width. These fit most adults. Sold individually, most trainers use a pair. Consider weight (0.97-1.1kg) for extended coaching sessions.

Are shin guards necessary for MMA training?

For sparring and intensive pad work, yes. Thai shin guards provide full coverage including instep protection. Grappling shin guards have open-back designs allowing ground movement while protecting shins during stand-up exchanges. Choose based on your primary training focus.

How do I maintain leather MMA equipment?

  • Wipe down after each use with damp cloth and mild disinfectant

  • Air dry completely before storage, never in direct sunlight

  • Treat leather bags and pads with leather conditioner every 2-3 months

  • Store in cool, dry place away from moisture

  • Never machine wash or submerge in water

  • Antimicrobial linings help reduce odour buildup

What's the difference between Carbon Claw ranges?

  • Razor RX-7: Premium leather, professional grade, reinforced construction

  • Recoil RX-7: Top-tier leather, commercial use, maximum durability

  • Aero AX-5: Hybrid leather/synthetic, lightweight, coaching-focused

  • Granite GX-5: Mid-range synthetic/leather, excellent value, versatile

  • Impact GX-3: Entry-level synthetic, budget-friendly, home use

Can I kick a freestanding punch bag?

Check manufacturer specifications. The Escape Freestanding Punchbag is designed for boxing only. Thai bags and strike bags are built for kicking. The NOHrD YA'FI, Physical, and Jordan freestanding bags can handle kicks when properly filled and stabilized.

What's a BOB training dummy and how is it different?

BOB (Body Opponent Bag) is a realistic human torso dummy for precision striking. Unlike cylindrical bags, BOB provides anatomically correct targeting for head shots, body blows, and specific strike placement. BOB XL offers extended torso length for body shot training and kicks. Both adjust in height and require base filling.

How long do MMA bags last?

Lifespan varies by material and usage:

  • Genuine leather (commercial): 5-10+ years

  • Genuine leather (home): 10-15+ years

  • Synthetic PU (commercial): 1-3 years

  • Synthetic PU (home): 3-5 years

  • Premium specialty (NOHrD, Century): 10+ years with proper care

Do I need a swivel for hanging bags?

Highly recommended. Swivels reduce twisting tension on hanging straps when bags rotate during training, extending strap life and preventing damage. Carbon Claw and most manufacturers sell swivel fixings separately.

What's the best equipment for a home MMA gym?

Essential starter setup:

  • Freestanding bag or 4-5ft hanging bag for striking

  • Pair of Thai pads for partner training

  • Grappling gloves for versatile training

  • Shin guards for sparring and pad work

  • Optional: Strike shield for power kicks and knees

Are these products suitable for commercial gyms?

Yes. Look for products marked "Full Commercial: Yes" in specifications. Premium ranges (Carbon Claw Razor/Recoil, Exigo, Jordan, Escape, Century) are specifically designed for high-frequency commercial use. Warranties range from 6 months to lifetime depending on brand and product line.
