Intro Make your own Cobra Punching Bag at home that is faster than some of the top brands on the market at just a fraction of the cost. To make it super easy I designed and produced a custom spring specifically for this purpose. I made it so that you can simply screw it onto a 3/4 inch galvanised steel pipe. If you have any questions please put them in the comments below and I'll respond as soon as I can. Also please share your thoughts and experience with others here if you make one. Items You'll Need: Kewlus Spring (KS9) - purchase here:  https://kewlus.com/products/kewlus-spring-v1 Base pipe: galvanised  3/4 inch pipe  (1.05 inches outer diameter) the length of roughly half your height. I used a 3 foot long pipe for my height (I'm 6ft tall). The 3/4 inch pipe has an outer diameter that is 1.05 inches. The spring is designed to fit perfectly onto this pipe. You can also combine sections of pipe using a coupling , for example 2ft section and 1ft section to allow re...

10-Step Instructions: Get 13 pool noodles (for a 6 foot tall punching bag), a roll of cheap packing tape and a roll of cheap cling wrap (or two). For your pole get a one inch wide PVC pipe - roughly 6 foot long. For your platform get an MDF (particle) board at least 2 foot wide and 1/2 inch thick. Alternatively if you don't want to make the base, you can simply use an umbrella base such as this one from Amazon:  https://amzn.to/3nY3J19 . For mounting your pole, get a one inch galvanised steel pipe roughly one foot long and a flange to mount it. You'll also need 4 thick, short screws to fix the flange onto your board - these are ideal: https://amzn.to/3gCO82H . Note, if you want to make your punching bag more rigid, use a two foot galvanised pipe. For fixing your PVC pipe onto your galvanised pipe you will also need a one inch hose clamp.

10-Step Instructions: Get a ball - basketball is best. Also get a plunger, remove the handle and tape it onto the ball with duct tape. This can be screwed onto the top of your spar bar to help dampen vibrations and for light punches. Get a pair of ball bearings roughly 1 inch internal diameter and 2 inches external diameter. You can get a 2-pack of the exact bearings that I use on Amazon US here:  https://amzn.to/34eLo7r or from Bunnings in Australia:  https://www.bunnings.com.au/richmond-47-x-25-x-12mm-rubber-sealed-precision-ball-bearing-pack-of-2_p0103240 Get a PVC pipe Tee or Cross junction into which your ball bearings will fit. Size will depend on the size of your ball bearings - for the bearings above, I'm using a 40mm Cross junction which has an internal diameter of roughly 48.3mm (eBay:  https://ebay.us/ld0S6e or Bunnings link:  https://www.bunnings.com.au/holman-40mm-press-pvc-plain-tee_p3142376 ). Tape around each ball bearing to ensure a tight fi...

10-Step Instructions: Get a ball - basketball is best. Tape it to a plunger. Get a 1 inch metal pole about chin height. Get a 1 inch PVC pipe and Tee joint. Get a large umbrella stand. Get a pool noodle. Insert your metal pole into the umbrella stand. Cut the PVC pipe to about an arm-length and glue on the Tee joint. Insert your Tee with the PVC arm onto the top of your metal pipe. Secure the Tee in place by using two hose clamps of appropriate size on the metal pipe - one above and one below the Tee. Make sure to leave a small gap so that the Tee rotates freely. Use a section of pool noodle on the arm as padding and ability to extend the length of the arm. Good luck making it and hope you enjoy!

AmazonUS:  https://amzn.to/304M8eJ For the base get a 2 foot wide MDF or "particle" board. For the mast/pole, get a 1-inch diameter PVC pipe (in Australia this is referred to as 20mm; in US it’s referred to as 3/4 inch) - you'll need roughly shoulder height. AmazonUS:  https://amzn.to/2XopfRy For the base you'll need a short 1/2 inch galvanised steel pipe.

Amazon US:  https://amzn.to/36Tbfm8 Attach the flange to one side of your board with thick, short screws. You will need to drill appropriate size pilot holes first to allow your screws t...

One of my most loved projects is what I call the Total Stand , which is a punching bag stand that also doubles as a pull-up station or suspension training platform. The video below I take you through a basic overview of how to make one yourself. Here are the steps... 5-Step Instructions for How To Make a Punching Bag Stand: Connect two 4x2 wooden beams (each roughly twice your height) at about 4/5 of their length with an eye bolt. Drill a hole at the top of each beam and connect the tops of the beams with rope as pictured. Using rope connected to the tops and the cross point of the beams bring the whole structure up to around 70 degree upright angle. Tie off the ropes holding up the structure at an anchor point, such as a base of a solid tree. Hang your punching bag from the cross point of the two beams. Good luck making it and hope you enjoy!

If you like training outdoors and want a punching bag that you could leave out and it’s not going to deteriorate in the weather, then make yourself one of these. I made this one from old tires that I got for free from a tire shop. Most tire shops will be happy to donate some old tires if you tell them they will be used to make a punching bag. The steps below give you a basic overview of how to make one yourself. For more detailed instructions check out my Fighter DIY eBook . 5-Step Instructions on How To Make an Outdoor Punching Bag Using Old Tires: Get 6 old tires by visiting your local tire shop and asking them to donate 6 old tires. Tell them it’s for a punching bag and they will be happy to let you have them for free. Buy two PVC pipes the length of your stack of tires. Drill holes on either side of each tire, making sure all the holes line up, so you can thread your PVC pipes through the holes, thus bracing the tires together. Use rope or straps to strap the tires toget...
