We used Bob on the last Conan episode and I’ve received a lot of inquiries on his effectiveness in training. Bob was created by Century Martial Arts in the nineties (or around there) to simulate a more realistic punching bag. My review is that Bob is fantastic for mixing up your work out – to give it variety. But he certainly is not a replacement for a heavy bag because of stability issues. Think of Bob as an addition to your heavy bag training and he’ll serve your purpose. I pick up the majority of my equipment, including Bob, at Golden Tiger on Western and Melrose.
