wing chun wall punching bag.

Opinion on this item. How full should it be filled? completely or say 3/4 to leave room for filling to move around. Sand, aquarium gravel, rice, dried corn,peas?

Thanks.

My opinion is you'd be better off getting a free standing reflex bag. It's small and can be put away when not in use. You'd be able to do way more with it than the one you're looking at. You're gonna have to be pretty easy on it to not damage the wall behind it if it's drywall. All I've used in homemade bags is sand and/or carpet and old clothing so can't comment on the other items. Sand works well though.

Fill it up, start with something like rice. Once your hands get use to it, go to sand. If you get use to that, gravel, but I would not start with gravel

Something similar, with a little spring-back, would work well. Shold be firm enough to allow some penetration, not so hard that it feels rock-solid.

Why not use Makiwara?

I have a Makiwara. I am looking for something different. just for a change of scenery, so to speak.

BTW thanks for all the responses.

Then I would have gone for a WC wooden dummy- mok jong or what it’s called ?
In the gojuryu dojo I stumbled into many years ago in Okinawa, they had a device of three “arms”(positioned like the wooden dummy arms) with a “wall” punching bag in the middle of them, all mounted on the wall

I generally use brown rice. White rice is pretty easy to pulverize, brown seems to hold up better. I fill them mostly full, maybe not 100%, but more than 3/4.

As someone else pointed out, it needs to be up against something solid, not unreinforced dry wall. It could just be a piece of plywood on the drywall screwed into studs.

Mook Jong is a different tool, takes up much more room and will cost you about $1k more. Of course you can do more with it, if you are trained to, but having a mook jong hasn't kept me from valuing also having a wall bag.

Heavy bags are also great, but I see them too as serving a different purpose.

A canvas wall bag with your choice of filler is a great, cheap training tool.
