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?
