I trained for a while and have been stagnant the past two or three years and want to get some basic equipment and start working out more than I have been. I mainly trained in Wing Chun with some Jujitsu and Thai boxing thrown in.
Some items I am looking at right off the bat is a heavy bag, reflex bag and that type of stuff. I have a Mook in storage and will try to put that in my garage if I can free up the space but for the time being what are some good options available now to help get back in the groove of things?
Heavy Bag:
I used to use a 80 lb bag and it was fine but I like the 100 lb bags or the Thai 100 lbs bags. One question is there a negative to a heavier bag like more injuries or joint damage or does it not really matter? Of course will be used to strike with hands and feet. Anything I should look for as far as brand and material goes? I would like to be able to hit it with Escrima sticks.
Reflex Bag:
I saw a bag with a heavy base and a poll with a spring on it and it seems neat but have any of you use it and recommend it? I'm sure a normal bag would be fine but if you don't have the place to put up a regular bag then something like this seems like a good option.
Speed Bag:
Not much to this I guess I don't know yet if I will have a wall I can mount it to but does anyone have advice on what to get or use for a speed bag?
