alternatively you could attach a razor sharp machete to the end, to simulate the nerves you feel in a real fight

Dude, this sounds like it's better quality than the expensive "real" one

I purchased both the medium kzfaq.infoUgkxfh2XUOHWYHKQYOvSq2gZ6PyCmVkTFGWz and small speed bags from Meister. I'm very glad I got both as the workout is quite different from the two. The small is fantastic for getting your speed built up once familiar with your striking. The medium bag provides a considerable amount more resistance building more strength in your punches. I highly recommend both sizes.Some people have expressed concern over the latex bladder leaking down more frequently than the traditional rubber. I have not found this to be an issue at all.

Love your projects brother. From Fiji here.

Reedy, I just completed this project for a gym for mostly Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients. It is organized under the organization "Rock Steady Boxing", our gym is located in Bowling Green, KY. Our members have serious physical limitations, but find boxing a great option for improving their overall physical health and their fine motor, balance and muscle control issues that PD brings. Additionally, I added a kick bar 4" from the floor, but it is identical to the spar bar. For anyone building this project, read carefully Reedy's directions. My version ended up very much like yours, except I used a T-fitting instead of a Cross fitting. The key issue is choosing a 1/2" x 6 ft mast so that it will fit inside the 25mmx47mmx12mm ball bearings. I wasn't a plumber so I didn't know that PVC and iron pipe sizes refer to the ID of the pipe that fits INSIDE the connector. I also used a 1 1/2" PVC pipe and T fitting. I was also able to find a 1 1/2" x 1/2" wall x 6' pipe insulation stick that fits almost perfectly around the bar PVC, with only a small gap. The insulation stick is also pre-cut with one slice down the center and adhesive on each side. You'll need to seek out a good plumbing supplier to find one, my cost was around $6. My other change was I found a 6" diameter medicine ball that weighed 6 lbs for my counter balance. I also used a rubber toilet plunger that also screwed onto the 1/2" mast which I further secured with a hose clamp. Our gym members are so happy with the spar bar I will be adding a 5' version {for shorter boxers) with a second bar at a height for our wheelchair members. Yes, some of our PD patients are confined to a wheelchair, but they still come in and hit the heavy bag, lowered speed bag and whip the same 50 lb battle ropes I do. They are such an inspiration to all of us non-confined boxers. Thank you Reedy, for taking the time to produce these series of videos. Our new spar bar will be a tremendous help to all of our members suffering from Parkinson's Disease and battling its effects at our boxing gym.

That plunger was a great idea.

Thank you Sir, this is the attachment piece that I needed to complete my set. I have built 2 reflex bags so far, thanks to your vids. 👍🏻🤙

Most ingenious improvisation I’ve seen in a long time. Well done. Im going to make up.

Brilliant! You saved me $400.

It's been a whole year and I'm still wanting to make one.

You know this guy is for real if even his intro is diy.

Love it, genius for a starter kit. Hopefully I'll have a video to send you of what I am working on soon. Still gathering materials and mapping things out.

SWEET! Operates smoothly!

Thanks you save for me 200$ great DiY

This is awesome. I’m taking that ball joint idea and material to try to create something more compact for my planned space

I'm "stealing" this idea! SUBSCRIBED!

Eres lo maximo bother saludos desde la mitad del mundo (ecuador) un abrazo

Thank god for this! I’m literally at Bunnings right about to leave and would’ve had to make a second trip!

Not a bad Idea. Had you not thought about a garden parasol weight to slip it into?? The metal ones can be pegged into the grass in a back garden or screwed/secured into any wooden base

Your video is excelent

Amazing

Easy to make

Good handmade bar bro 👍

Thank you! I was about to spend $300 on one of these damn things. Def Sub!

Hey man, thanks!!

I actually think I can make this 💯👌🏽

Excellent

This fella is nuts 😂

Very nice, i can make this for my daughter to train her

This dude's awesome love the videos

You put a noodle! Glad you’re one of those you tubers who listen to their fans haha. Good stuff! Is there gonna be a v2? I’d love to make this but waiting if there’s a better version.

Excelente meu amigo!

For anyone with the Everlast punching bag/speed bag stand, the three little 6 inch bars that have the pad on them(or as I used em, to put weights over to hold the stand down) is the perfect size for a 1/2 inch bar to slide right into for a "stand". Just pop the little plastic piece off and a 1/2 in bar slides right in it

Very cool 😎👍

It's amazing

Thanks for the idea. Creating my own out of pvc and such. Instead of spending 300 dollars for something that eventually might end up on the curb

Ty ty so much 🔥🔥🔥🥊

Use 1 inch 1/4 pvc !fair play great concept 👍🏿

This is better!!

Esta excelente, es mucho más económico que cualquier otro equipo. 🔥 🥊🥊

Hey Reedy great video! looking at making something like this myself. I picked up some 25mm x 47mm x 12mm bearings and was wondering if they'll fit in the 40mm PVC Tee/Cross section that you linked on your website. I thought since the bearing has a diameter of 47mm it wouldn't fit in the 40mm PVC section? Thanks and keep up the good work!

I got watch this couple times

Thankyou Ali of Wilaya Touggourt Algérie.

Looks great! And the commercial ones are like over $300.

not all heros wear capes

Have you tried to combine it with the Cobra? Would be very interesting!

Omg it’s here

Good!!

Whaaaaaaaaat you put a pool noodle on it too? Good job. Your intro is still pretty hilarious.

maybe try concrete in a bucket with the beam centered, I think that’s what i’m gonna do when i build one instead of the chair. Cheers and thank you

I just got ur self a sub, bro keep it up,amazing, I need to do this 🤣

Not bad man.

Wow, you make it look easy to make. Now, if I can only move my table tennis table elsewhere hmm...
