Muay Thai Bag vs Boxing heavy bag? pros and cons

[KungFubar]

What is the advantage of a muay thai bag vs a regular boxing bag?

[Kellen Bassette]

In my opinion the only con to a Muay Thai bag is they cost more and take up more room than a regular heavy bag. They are too tall to work with most bag stands so you'll have to have a good support beam or something similar to hang them from. I like them better for Kung Fu, since you can train low kicks and sweeps. But you can also do an awful lot of work on a regular boxing heavy bag.
