Is this kind of heavy bag okay for practicing kicks? I can’t get a hanging bag.

Is this kind of heavy bag okay for practicing kicks? I can’t get a hanging bag.

Guy on FB marketplace is selling it for $120 and he lives right down the street. It looks great, but I’m worried with the frame angles that I may not be able to practice roundhouse kicks or low kicks on it.

As in I might end up accidentally kicking the metal just because of the angles on it and how the frame is set up. Teeps will be fine I’m sure.

Any other recommendations if not? I can’t do a hanging bag. Nowhere to hang it from.

Starting at a Muay Thai gym. Do my 2nd class tonight. In what ways can I improve at home? And in what ways can I continue to improve in class?

I did Jiu Jitsu for a year and loved it. Will definitely return at some point. But I had a back injury with my multifidus which made it difficult to get my neck cranked on heavily all the time.

I just signed up for a Muay Thai gym after completing my first trial class. They make you attend 2 months of entry level classes before you’re let in to the more intense ones.

Any tips on how I can make sure I’m improving and learning quickly? I’d love something to read, or a series of workouts or stretches on YouTube if possible. I just really don’t wanna be watching advanced or influencer content that’s just gonna screw me up. Looking for the real deal so I can get my body into the right condition and be at a good understanding when I jump into the next level of classes.

I know not to work on strikes at home because I could form bad habits, but I would at least like to memorize the different types of strikes for class, or to understand concepts to make class a bit easier.

I’ll be buying gloves, wraps, and shin guards tonight. Thanks in advance!
