Home Gym Equipment for Martial Arts

Everlast Aqua Power Training Bag
This bag is made from the Nevatear's leather-grained vinyl cover and is available in two sizes, either 14" X 42" or 14" X 48". It also contains a 2 1/2" polyfoam cushion, heavy-duty inter-tube and a triple-reinforced bottom. It has a three year guarantee and costs nearly $139.99 - $154.99.

Century Wave Series
The Wave Series have almost the same construction as Everlast Aqua bag and can be of two sizes: the Wave, which is 13" X 40 and the Tidal Wave, which is 15" X 42". The greatest advantage of the Wave series is that it has a lifetime warranty. Their prices range from from $79.99 to $119.99.

Freestanding Heavy Bags
Training using heavy bag is very profitable but unfortunately many people don’t have enough space or possibility to mount a hanging bag for a long period of time. You can choose a freestanding heavy bag instead.

Everlast Ever-Flex Power Bag
This type of equipment is made from heavy-duty plastic and its striking surface is covered with vinyl high-impact foam. Also these units are of good quality and also very durable. Their only disadvantage is that it is very hard to move the the rectangular base. They cost from $129-. 99-$149.99.

Century Wavemaster
The new molding of this unit lessened the problem of seam leaks. It has the same bundling as the Everlast bag, but it has one more advantage. When your training is finished the bag can be tilted away and rolled out of the way. Their price can range from $99.99 to $129.99.

Both units are filled with water and can weight nearly 300 pounds in this condition. If you want do perform heavier hits you can fill one of the units with sand. You will be able to augment the weight and stability. However, it has been noticed that these units can slide if they are placed on a slick floor such as linoleum, wood flooring, etc. You can solve this problem if you buy a non-slip bathtub mat. The mat can be put on the floor with the punching bag on top.

Stretching Machines
Developing flexibility is a crucial factor of the martial arts. It is possible to perform the splits and other stretching exercises without using equipment but a stretching machine will increase your results dramatically.

Century Flex Master V
This is the best stretching machine. It has a good support for your legs and provides a smooth motion. The Flex Master V includes a newly designed hydraulic mechanism which doesn’t create hydraulic leaks. This equipment is very convenient and durable. The cost of this equipment ranges from $179.99 to $199.99.

Sports Stretch
This design is very useful for people that travel a lot or have a limited space for home gym equipment. This construction is very solid and weights only 18 lbs. The main disadvantage of this machine is that it doesn’t provide enough leg support and its motion is a bit jerky. You can buy them for $119.99-$129.99.
