Got this for my 2 1/2 yo. & 5 yo boys for Christmas, this thing can seriously take a beating!!! They have all but stabbed the thing and it's still going strong! The sand base is a bit of a pain to fill, but get yourself some DRY SAND? And a big funnel from Home Depot for $2 and your good to go! Highly recommend

This bag was very appealing for my young karate student. Unfortunately, it only lasted one day. We inflated the bag, my child worked out, punching, kicking and we went inside for the evening. The bag was on out rear porch, no wind or rain, but was sagging by the next t morning. We though that perhaps some of the air had escaped and refilled it. Within minutes the bag was "down and out for the count....

very tall and well made kids loved it / I filled the bottom with water which held the bag standing tall

I got this for a child taking Karate (Kempo) classes so they would practice at home.

Delivery: Arrived quickly and came with everything advertised. Packaging was fine.

Assembly: I already had a foot-powered pump for a Bossu (yoga) ball - it was needed. The main body needs to be inflated with air; the black ring they suggest should be filled with water or sand for stability. Even with the pump, it took a while to get it inflated. Using your lungs is not recommended.

The black ring - if fully filled with water - will be very heavy. My method for filling was to place the item in the tub and run the water over the valve; I'd recommend filling it in no more than 1/2 with water. After doing so I brought the inflatable to the area it would be used then used the air pump to fill the ring the rest of the way. It's stable, fully inflated and can still be moved easily by either parent while not moving when the child practices kicks.

The description stated it was over 4 feet tall and that's accurate. However the one I received stands about six feet tall. Not a problem, just an observation.

It's great for practice; I've even used it myself (1st Dan - TKD) and it's very solid.

Value: Wonderful. I'd get another of these in a heartbeat.

Small addendum; it also worked as a birthday prop. I put a full sized (XL) hockey jersey and balanced a matching hat on top to wish someone a happy birthday. It's basically adult size.

This is my second boxing inflatable and this one is by far, the best one. I have three kids, ages 3,6 & 9 punching and kicking and bouncing on him and he's holding up wonderfully.
