I’m looking for a piece of equipment for a punchingbag. My parents bought one that they never use, and won’t let me use because it shakes the crap out of our house. So I was thinking about taking it back to college w/ me this fall and using it during loud hour.. My only problem is that I have no place to hang it. Do they make some sort of punching bag stand..something along the lines of a tripod setup with a bar you could hang the bag from instead of just hanging it from the ceiling? If they make this kind of stuff, where could I find it? I already checked out the online shop this site advertises, and I checked AWMA online…
They range from “expensive” to “oh my god, I wouldn’t pay that much for a car!”.
Here are some sites, my favorite (and most expensive) is at the top:

Hope ya find one you like. Think I’m gonna save up for a while before I get mine.
ay carumba!
You ain’t kidding, these things are F’n expensive..Well, some of them anyways. Definitely going to have to shop around for the right contraption to suit my needs. I found a couple that weren’ too bad on price, and the base size was livable, but height would be a problem. Might have to wait on this until I get a single room (or the roomate gets kicked out. He’s become quite a trouble-maker over the summer and we all doubt if he’ll last long). But this would definitely be a worthwhile investment. It’d be worth the money to have the option of hitting the bag on off days when the school isn’t open, and I can’t see myself in a situation where I’d be able to mount a bag to a wall or ceiling for a very long time..
I guess i’m lucky, we’ve got 2 heavy bags at our school- 1 for punching 1 for punching and kicking. Also when I had money I picked up one of them BOB free standing waterfilled thingies. I can’t use BOB cuz I’m on second floor, but I plan to once i’m out of here.
It’d be nice if there was something you could tie up around a tree and hit.

Have any siblings??
Actually…
LOL
BTW when I said school, i meant college.
I was thinking about cruisin the dumpsters if 'n when I get to Baltimore, so I can snag an old mattress, ore maybe a couch cushion. Thought maybe something like that would be cool to tie around a tree in the back yard and whale on until I get a decent heavy bag & stand. Otherwise, I’ll just stick with BOB.
matresses and beds suck man, too much dust will leave you coughing more than punching. too soft as well. get a wing chun wall bag, goto a tree in the park, nail 3/4 nails in approriately and you can take the (filled) bag with u and leave the nails stuck in the wall/tree…
