I wanted to know if anyone had some ideas for punching bags/pads that are designed with keeping the sound to a minimum. Up until yesterday, I had a punching pad screwed into a door frame in my apartment. Well, while I was practising some punching drills, I hear a knock on the door. When I open the door I recognize that it is the older woman who lives below me, who I have met on a couple of occasions and am friendly with. She asked if I knew anything about the pounding sound that was coming from the back of the house, or if I was building anything. I showed her the punching pad and she said "ahh, that makes sense now, as all the plaster has fallen off the ceiling in my bedroom" which is directly below where I have it setup. Anyway, I really need to keep up the daily practice as I was just starting to make some good progress in my power and speed. Any suggestions you have would be great, I do have a little space, but please keep in mind that it would have to be something that keeps the noise and vibration down. I thought about a hanging heavy bag, but I had one of those, and they make a hell of alot of noise (at least mine did when it was setup in the basement).
Thanks in advance,
Cheers
