Century BOB is a great partner for sparring techniques or target training. Weighs approx. 270 lbs when filled. Made from high strength plastisol for durability, inner cavity filled with durable urethane foam. Six height adjustments from 60" to 78" tall. ADVANCED Soft Perspiration HEADBAND – The headband use adjustable elasticity drain sweatband, two layers of silica gel, conducive to sweat flowing from both sides, will not flow to the eyes, headband design adjusts width to be more durable and comfortable than other full silicone or Velcro, to fit most people’s head size. And if you train a martial art with tactical applications, like krav maga or jeet kune do, then you’ll really notice the value of BOB. A great partner for sparring techniques or target work, the original BOB - Body Opponent Bag is a life-like mannequin with a vinyl "skin" for more realistic self-defense training.BOB was the first-ever mannequin training bag for martial arts, who gives you a realistic human torso shape for a striking surface. Since you are training to fight against a human (presumably) this shape allows you to train with a higher level of accuracy than a regular heavy bag or punching bag. Fully adjustable height and a tough base that can be filled with DRY sand or for the more adventurous, water, even when fully weighted it's fairly easy to tilt and roll bob to another position in the room, while giving an extremely stable bag that will resist the hardest of hitters. For a little bit extra I would be more inclined to opt for Century BOB XL as the added realism of a longer torso and greater target area means greater variety of available techniques however if purchasing for club use the extra saving might mean being able to stretch to adding a BOB Junior to your equipment range.
