That was my worse internet shopping experience in my life. 3 times they tried to deliver my merchandise to me, and I never received it. Finaly I cencelled my order, end I didn’t get my money back yet.

Just starting to use Bob. The set up was painful – pouring in 250lbs of sand was not easy and may challenge your back before you even start hitting Bob. So far holding up well.

After decades of punching air in my Katas, I finally have someone to hit!! Seriously though this is one of the best training aids imaginable if you train by yourself. There is however, room for further improvement. When filled with water, the Bob will not stand solidly with a hard puch and will fall back with a strong back kick to the abdomen.Having it on top of a carpeted surface makes it even more wobbly and a flat cement surface makes it skid. The torso-to-base junction has a 1/2″ gap that also needs attention. I inserted several small wedges around the base to make up for what is basically a plastic molding issue.
The body material is excellent and durable and the closest thing to hitting a real person.Also the height setting makes you aware of how much flexibility you need (and in my case don’t have) to hit head kicks without a stretch (typical street fight /defense situation).
I was fortunate to have bought this at amazon for 278 dollars (delivered). Prices fluctuate daily and I spend a long time waiting before I could get it at this level.
I would really recommend this product !!!!!

If you like to work out and need to get out some aggression than this thing is perfect for you! I had to buy some gloves as it was hurting my hands to punch with bare hands. The only problem I have is that it is currently filled with water and on carpet it’s just not heavy enough so “Bob” keeps trying to escape from me into the corner!
It’s great though…makes my workout more fun.

Bob is a good target to punch.
Because Bob’s got eyes, nose, ears, neck etc. he’s great for practicing high kicks to the throat or moves where you’re learning to hit a specific body part.
