about 5 feet tall, the normal circumfrence of a boxing heavy bag, and weigh
about 180 to 200 pounds. l would ofcourse use it to practice my Muay Thai,
but l would also use it in similar fashion to a grappling bag, so it would
need to be strong enough to be slammed on the ground and pounded on there
as well.
l have a friend who works with upholstery for
vehicles, so he has a wicked sewing machine for the thick and tough
materials l know l will need. But he has never made one, so what l need to
do is come up with the diminsions, suggested material, etc.
l know
that 180 to 200 pounds sounds like alot of weight for a heavy bag, but l
have practiced on some that weighed that much and loved them alot more
than the normal sized ones.
Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
