Check your local buy & sell papers or Craig's list to see if someone is getting rid of an old one for cheap.

yard sales, newspaper, classified adds, ebay.com.... oh yes when you do get a heavy bag, DO buy somehand wraps, otherwise you'll split you knuckles.Nimrod said:ok ive got that for a powerfull punch you need teqnuiqe.

I personally would never hit the bag really hard without wraps. Too much of a chance of injury and its not worth having to take a few weeks off. I've learned my lesson from many hand injuries from not wrapping.Judokas said:Nothing wrong with not using hand wraps its very good knuckle conditioning but i dont do it for very long and i use boxing gloves for a fair bit of time before i take them off.
if you got no money and cant find a cheap bag, just get some sands bags and fill them with clay and a mix of sand or dirt...easiest way with no moneyNimrod said:ok ive got that for a powerfull punch you need teqnuiqe.

i busted my hand up not using wraps, i did it with one punch on one of them super big fairtex bags, then had to sit out for 2 months..Judokas said:Nothing wrong with not using hand wraps its very good knuckle conditioning but i dont do it for very long and i use boxing gloves for a fair bit of time before i take them off.

i guess you can build your knuckles by banging with no wraps, but i don't think you should lay into it. i belive knuckle conditioning should be done slow.
You ever tried that? A full-sized punch bag filed with sand and clay will be so heavy you can't lift it up. It will be hard to hang and if you can hand it there is a good chance that the fastenings will rip through the fabric of the bag.syrus13 said:if you got no money and cant find a cheap bag, just get some sands bags and fill them with clay and a mix of sand or dirt...easiest way with no money
