[davethedragon]

i am trying to get hold of some of those things that you use as punching resistance basically its like a belt that you put behind you back but hold on to with each hand and punch with it is supposed to give resistance to punching.

anybody have a clue what i am on about?!

if anybody has one what are they like are they worth a purchase.

and also where they can be purchased from.

Any PT supply company will have Thera-Band or other rubber band/tubing for resistance training. You can get fancy, with door hooks and handles, or you can just hold onto the band or tie a loop in it to hook your leg through it. Oh, right, you want it for punching, not sweeps. You can get creative with this stuff.


Have fun,

I know that Title Boxing and Everlast both sell them.. Check out their websites for starters.

Ringside sells them too.

You might have to pay import fees

does anybody know anywhere in the uk where this item can be purchased.

A google search of theraband uk brings up a few results. You might also try searching (or looking in the phone book) for PT supplies in the nearest city, then you could buy them in person.
