A punching bag for children
The ideal energy balance in your own home
Is a punching bag useful for children?
A punching bag for children is ideal for channeling excess energy and pent-up emotions into the right channels. Instead of sitting in front of screens, a punching bag offers the opportunity to really let off steam. It promotes movement, coordination and concentration and is a lot of fun - as well as being a cool highlight in the children's room!
What weight and size is suitable for a punching bag for children?
Care should be taken to ensure that the punching bag is not too heavy or too hard. The punching bag should be able to swing back and forth easily, otherwise it will be too heavy.
Our recommendations for the right punching bag for children:
Children aged 6 -12 years: 5-10 kg - Children's punching bag JUNIOR "S" (60 cm / 8 kg)
Children from 12 years and teenagers: 10-15 kg - Children's punching bag JUNIOR "M" (70 cm / 15 kg)
Punching bag material: leather
Leather is the most suitable material as it is hard-wearing and yet very soft. With a soft, smooth leather punching bag, you can also box without boxing gloves. Robust canvas is also a suitable material, but leather punching bags are more durable and therefore more sustainable .
Textile remnants are very suitable as filling. Punches and kicks are optimally absorbed and the strain on the joints is reduced. As the textile is deformable, light and soft, less pressure is exerted on the wrists, elbows and shoulders when punching, which is particularly important for children's punching bags.
Boxing bag filling: shredded textile scraps
Our JUNIOR and FITNESS punching bags are filled with shredded recycled textile scraps. The filling quantity of our punching bags can be easily adjusted at home to suit your body weight and workout style in order to change the weight and hardness of the punching bag.
The JUNIOR punching bag "S" is supplied with a filling weight of 8 kg, the JUNIOR punching bag "M" with a filling weight of 15 kg. If required, textile can be removed from the bag to make it lighter or sand (packed in plastic bags) can be added.
