Hi, I'm 21 boy (7" L x 3" W hand, 5.10" & 136 lbs), Full Contact casual training (3 days p/week) Heavy bag, sparring among other things. Is 12 oz ok?

I would get 14 oz. 12 oz is better for fitness training and puts let's stress on your hands. If you are doing sparring 14oz is the lowest I would recommend to start with.

I bought an 18 inch bag and it is huge. I would say for home use a 12 inch would be enough

I used these for a Beginner class which was minimal hitting - no bag work and they were just fine. you may want something with more padding if you're going to spar/bag work.

Yep. I've carried this with me many times while travelling. On the TSA site, it says the limit is 3.4oz. While this is 3.5oz, I don't think they'll sweat you over 0.1oz. I've never had an issue.

Hi Yoon, I purchased the small/medium. I am 5'7" and about 170lbs as well. I have large calves for my size and the leg weights are a little tight going on. The forearm weights are fine. I believe if I had gone for the larger size they would have been too loose for punching drills. I hope this helps you make your decision. -John C.

Not really. There is no difference INSIDE the bag based on punching or kicking. However, the size of the bag will dictate if "punches only" is a better idea. If its smaller and lighter, then kicks aren't going to be great on it. Also, to practice low kicks, you need a long bag, like a Muay Thai or "banana" bag.

my dog is 12 lbs. and it's a snug fit. You could try it and if it doesn't work try something larger. I do like the look of the bag and it makes it easy to carry my pet with me. but I don't take him often and he doesn't like to lie down in it.

It depends on his experience level. I got a 170-172 weight, that should be an all around weight. If your brother is a long time player try something heavier.

I have the same wraps and the same exact bag. The answer is yes, but ensure you are using good punching form and not for extended periods. After a while or after successive days your knuckles do feel the beating. These wraps are great and highly recommended - they are lightweight, offer good wrist support, and mobility but for really intense or extended heavy bag sessions you will want to consider real bag gloves. This is my plan and I am going to purchase bag gloves for this reason in the near future. Happy training!

I would say you are expecting to much from this cheap bag. It's probably more like 2lbs. There's not much to it. It packs up pretty small, and is a decent little bag for occasional warm weather camping for the price.i am very pleased with it. The inside material is "sticky" on your skin when sweaty, other than that for ~$20 it's good enough. Good luck.

Sorry for the late response. 7 in wid is the problem. The bottom of the bag is 6 inches. If you intend on loading the bag up wit a lot of weight it's not the one you want. The lifting strap and shoulder strap attachment points are very weak. My bag started ripping there after two months of use.

The 12 oz. would be the way to go. Not only because of having larger hands, but also as a beginner, I feel it will protect your knuckles better than lesser oz. gloves. Hope this helps.

I just purchased this a couple days ago. The bag says 600+ and if I had to guess I would say right around 600 to 650 is about right.

Sorry for the delay....This is a hard question to answer, I do not knowhow big this child is, and how many bats, gloves etc he will carry. I gave this bag to a 10 year old who is tall and very thin and he will nothave any problems with it.

No, it's a medium sized bag, it's not a team bag. you can get all of your equipment in it. I carry two bats, glove, cleats and everything else I need and its still light.

I am not sure what you are asking? I have a pair of 16 oz bag gloves and a pair of 16 oz sparring gloves they quite well and absorb a lot of shock.

Any heavy bag will be hard on hands if your hands are unprotected. He should be wearing grapping gloves at a minimum. It's not a reason not to buy a bag, it's just a reason to buy a pair of gloves.
