Do you know how to fix a punching bag?

I recently came across this problem: my punching bag, which I use to actively combat stress, as well as to develop a knockout blow, and as a type of aerobic training, suddenly became completely unusable over time and “decided to live a long time”!

I keep my punching bag on the balcony. There I have a special ceiling suspension, with the help of which I securely fasten it and “beat” it. Moreover, I practice this in warm and cold weather, and even in winter. Apparently in winter the pear freezes slightly, and then these powerful blows... In general, it began to crumble a lot...

The filler was wood shavings, at first it only spilled out a little with each blow. But at some point this “little” grew into a lot. You hit the bag and dust shavings fall out of it, making it difficult to breathe nearby, and after training there is a pile of garbage under the hanging area... What can you do? How to fix a punching bag? I decided to revive it myself... But here’s the problem: even on the Internet you can’t find any good ideas for this matter... After thinking a little, I found an option that worked well, and now I’ll tell you what exactly I did to fix it...

Step-by-step instructions for resuscitating a punching bag.

At first, I noticed that the weak points were the seams. It is from the seams that the filler falls out. I took a good fabric bag for temporary storage of the filler, and poured the entire contents of my pear into it. Then I thoroughly cleaned the inner coating of the pear from any remaining shavings, or rather, even washed and degreased it. In parallel with these processes, I found thin rubber, ala a bicycle inner tube. And cut it into strips of suitable length. Next, using rubber glue, I glued all the seams with these strips from the inside. I waited for everything glued to dry and stick well. Next, I poured the filler inside the boxing bag again...

By the way, for all those who train not only punches, but also kicks, we recommend Thai boxing - an excellent Thai boxing school at the Planet Sport fitness club. Enrollment is open for groups of almost all ages, even children over 5 years old. Well, the number of titles of local trainers would be the envy of any professional hand-to-hand fighter. Train under the guidance of real specialists, and become invincible, which is what we sincerely wish for you...
