Strikeman vs. Century Bob Dummy

As this is a full-body design and it can turn 360-degree, you can practice arm, leg, and body strikes all at the same time. There’s no need to buy another heavy punching bag. Anyone who has tried doing an uppercut on a bag will know it doesn’t feel good, or work at all really. Height Adjustability: Adjustable height is crucial to customize your training sessions. Make sure the bag can be easily adjusted to suit your height and the type of workout you want to perform. This is maybe the most beneficial feature. Not everyone has a beam or other place to set up a hanging bag. Plus, not everyone has experience and tools to set up such a massive object somewhere at home gym. If you are among them, it is an excellent buy for you.

There is a wide range of materials that are used inside the free standing bag. It can be cotton, hay, high density foam, or other fabric buffer or even combinations. And there are bags filled with air, but those are for kids and not for serious training. So, before buying, find a place that will be enough for training. I think having about 6-7 feet area around the standing bag is OK. If you want to use them for ground work you need much more place. More about home boxing gyms. The material of the bags

Getting stuck in and quality of workout

As well as having a larger striking surface, you can adjust the height of the bag higher, from 60 up to 82 inches. Also, the dummy bag base is round, so you can easily roll it whenever you need to move it around. It doesn’t take up much space so you can easily store it when it’s not in use. Just roll it to the side of the room. For your kid’s safety, you can easily clean it with a wet cloth every now and then to remove any dust or dirt. It has a super strength triple-ply synthetic leather cover that is built to take a beating and last. The dummy is available in two sizes — 70 pounds/64 inches and 100 pounds/68 inches. While standing heavy bags for boxing practice and MMA are more space-friendly than a traditional hanging one, they still need place to store and use efficiently. Typically, they are large martial arts equipment with a big base. Hence, you should have enough room to move it around freely without bumping into things during your workouts.
