Can this withstand kicks aswell as punches?

This is a great training bag. Yes, it can handle very powerful kicks as well as punches. We have several of these Wavemasters in our tae kwon do academy. I do not recommend wearing shoes when striking the bag as this may decrease the life of the product.

Yes. Although we only have ours filled with water only (no sand) it is durable for kicking. However, it is not the same as kicking a 100-lb heavy bag. It will get knocked over with a good kick or punch. Still, in a small room or apartment it works well for speed kicks and punches.

Very yes. I'm a Taekwondo guy, and I've kicked the stuffing out of these for years with considerable force.

Yes. You need to fill the base with water or sand. We bought ours in September and it's the same exact style and brand from my son's Tae Kwon Do school where there are many amazing black belts who practice on this equipment every day.

Good protection for mechanic, work, hand tools, etc. Would protect on first couple punches but would quickly breakdown if used on say a heavy bag for training or repeatedly.

It does hold up well but you can feel the hits as it is not very thick. I teach krav maga and my students use it for combat training

They would soon grow out of it. The padding is good but the height would need to be higher for good style kicking. If you get a higher one, use sand not water! My grandsons also used it for boxing, since they were under 4 feet tall. It is a good product and is all that is described. Hope this helps.

By my standards, if you just hit it against something very hard, it will break. But if you just use it in battles and don't fall against it, it will be fine

I think that would work fine, just make sure you remove the plastic film form the back before punching the holes. :)

I have had it outside for several months now and it still looks good. It does seem to be harder at the bottom. This may be a normal punching bag issue.

The knuckles are actually covered somewhat by rubber, which will protect the hands some, and it won't easily break. That said, this glove is not made for punching, so, I wouldn't recommend doing the punching repeatedly as in training with a punching bag wearing these.

Is strong enough to keep running even if it drops a few times, but I reckon if you kick it it Will smash, as any smartphone in the World. I had it for 3 months and it hasn't got a scratch.

You should only be kicking or hitting these with bare feet and hands, you can punch with gloves, but Yes it is soft enough. However on the sides there is air vents that are metal, so if your toes happen to kick it, ouch! but only for a second or toe of stinging. But this just depends on how you kick.

I can't answer your question because I bought these for the same reason, when they arrived I inspected the punches and found that 2 of the smaller punches were improperly ground so I returned them with out using them. Purchased a set of Grace punches that worked great.

Yes. It can take a beating and stand up as long as you understand the proper handling and assembly. I prefer to keep it in the case.

Yes, it is built to take abuse, mine gets thrown around a lot and it has the shoulder cushions so the weight doesn't kill you. I have loaded mine with "tactical" equipment and it has held up great.

I don't know if you can add any larger size punches. I use a block of wood under the gasket material. Do not use metal, you will ruin the punch.

If he punched it nonstop for from now until 2020 that may be possible but other than that no. The worst I've gotten is a bit of "rug burn" from grazing the side of the bag while going a little crazy on it. I also have a pair of cheaper boxing gloves I wear though just for a little added weight and better workout, no problems at all with those on.

Not at all. I would kick these things all night and not have problems. If you are worried about hurting your feet though I would pick up the Tae Kwon Do Feet BLACK w/WHITE PADDING by Kim Pacific. Those things are awesome!

No it doesn't handle hard punches. My 10 yr old hits it too hard and it buzzes saying too hard, may damage the machine. Good question! I wish it was able to withstand aggressive punching, but that's not the case. Killer cardio workout though.
