How heavy should a punching bag be for beginners and children? Or rather: What weight should a children's punching bag have?
This question cannot be answered in general terms either, as it depends on the user. There are guideline values depending on how old your child is. We consider the following guidelines to be appropriate.
- Children up to 7 years -> punching bag weight up to a maximum of 10 kg
- Children between 8-10 years -> the punching bag weight between 15 and a maximum of 20 kg
- Children between 11-15 years -> punching bag weight between 20-30 kg
If the punching bag is used by an adult for normal boxing training, the weight should be approx. 50% of your own body weight. So if you weigh 75kg, the punching bag should weigh approx. 40kg.
To train kicks for martial arts such as Muay Thai or kickboxing, the punching bag should be approx. 75% to 100% of your body weight.

4. Hanging and placing the children's punching bag correctly
To ensure that your child can train safely and effectively, it is important to hang and place the children's punching bag correctly. Make sure that the punching bag is securely fastened and has enough room to swing. Ideally, it should be hung at the right height so that your junior can train optimally.
How big should a punching bag be?
How big or long a punching bag should be always depends on the training.
- If you want to box normally and train your punches, then a punching bag for adults should be between 120cm and 150cm long.
- However, if you also want to practise kicks, the punching bag should be between 150cm and 180cm long, depending on your height.
How can you hang a punching bag?
There are special punching bag wall mounts and punching bag ceiling mounts for hanging. Which of these is the ideal punching bag holder depends on the available space and of course the material of the ceiling or wall.
If the wall is made of drywall (plasterboard), for example, it should not be mounted on the wall as it cannot support the weight of the punching bag. To do this, you should first tap the wall and check whether it sounds hollow.
Alternatively, you can also hang a punching bag on a punching bag stand or other training equipment such as a pull-up bar. A bar is also very suitable.
At what height should a punching bag hang?
Basically, a punching bag for normal boxing training should hang with its upper edge approx. 10 cm above your head. This can be easily adjusted with a steel chain and a suitable snap hook, which allows you to control the length of the chain perfectly.
