With the wide selection of Muay Thai heavy bags on the internet, you'll first need to see the light through the forest before selecting your bag. Whether you're purchasing Muay Thai bags for a fight school, a law enforcement agency, fitness center, college athletic program, major league sports team or that very special home gym, the following is an extremely informative and worthwhile read. We're in business since 2000 with many Muay Thai bags and heavy bags in the field. Our bags hang throughout the USA, including Hawaii, Alaska and also Canada, from the backyard shed all the way up to military installations (see the Military Tab for details). Do your homework before deciding on a Muay Thai bag. Search the net. Post on MMA/Combatives message boards to connect with others that have first hand experience with our bags. They're out there. Be leery of independent websites that review gear and equipment. Some could be shilling products. If you have any questions, be sure to contact us info@kofightgear.com. Purchasing a Muay Thai heavy bag is an investment and you want to get it right the first time. You want a Thai bag that performs at the elite level that will bring your game up, not waste your time. Our major business segment consists of customers ranging in age from 30 to mid 60s that have trained all their lives. They've trained on Thai bags from numerous sources and the common feedback is that the KO Fightgear Muay Thai bag is the best bag they've ever trained on. One customer really hit the nail on the head by expressing, "The last Thai bag I bought (KO Fightgear) should've been my first."

From the outside, all Muay Thai bags whether purchased from industry giants to the low cost discounters look the same. The first few times you train on them they may even feel the same. However, if you're not spending your money wisely, you'll wind up with a bag that will split, sag, sting and settle where the bottom of the bag feels like a brick and worst of all, does not perform to your high expectations.

A small, local shop here in New Jersey manufactures the KO Fightgear Muay Thai and heavy bags. They're in business over 25 years and based on this length of experience developed all the techniques for producing a long lasting, top notch product. They know how to construct a truly elite bag, both in the construction of the bag shell with an emphasis on heavily reinforcing the high stress points, capped off with that all important filling technique resulting in the all critical "sweet feel". Plus, each and every bag is 100% quality inspected by an expert before it becomes a KO Fightgear Muay Thai bag, tear drop bag, heavy bag and upper cut bag.

Next, we'll briefly list several points that distinguish the KO Fightgear Muay Thai bags from every other bag that's sold in the United States.

• Thai Bag Shell - The cylinder wall of our bag is a single length of material with only one reinforced vertical seam. This does result in a higher component cost to us, but most importantly provides you a much stronger bag. You'll find Thai bags from other companies offering multi-colors that are only accomplished by using numerous vertical panels requiring numerous vertical seams that don't have the integrity of a single length of material. We use a specific heavy gauge non stretch vinyl with an embedded reinforced grid for extra strength. This is an industrial grade vinyl that performs true and tested for this application, both in function and durability. The material is described as feeling supple and flexible while easy to maintain. You can pound on the vertical seam all day long, and the "feel" is the same as any other surface point on the bag. There is no sting. Our material offers tremendous savings compared to leather which brings down the cost of the bag to you. Just as with leather, vinyl covers a broad quality range of materials and we only use the best. The issue with leather bags is that leather is a natural material that sags. Plus, leather currently used on bags is the lowest grade possible, really just a marketing buzz word. The "real deal" leather bag, that smells and feels like upholstery leather with supple flexibility, supported so it won't sag would be cost prohibitive and actually unnecessary.
• Pain Relief - We have customers that suffer hand, elbow and shoulder pain from early signs of arthritis and years of wear and tear. We receive their feedback that by training with our bags, emphasizing the responsiveness of the fill characteristic, pain level is often reduced and on occasion disappears. Read the next paragraph for detail on our filling process.
• Filling Process - We only sell factory filled Thai bags and heavy bags. Our customers deserve to train on the top performing bag in the USA while obtaining full value for their money. Some of you do know how to fill a Thai bag, but for the DIY though meaning well, will at best wind up with a mediocre bag which surely isn't for you, and not for us. We want your training regimen to advance to the next level, not stagnate and waste time. Our hand filling is a technical and tedious process, a science. The fill material is 100% new, clean rag, selected for fiber content and characteristic. Two extremely experienced guys can only fill 10 bags in a day and that's total output between the two of them. As the bag is slowly fill loaded and compressed in vertical stages, the rag is blended so once the filling process is completed the bag has the specific feel, that right amount of "give", "bounce" from top to bottom, not a dead thud. Our bags are described by customers as "not hard, not soft, but sweet". Plus, you don't have the issue of material settling to the bottom of the bag so it feels like a brick. We have a customer that takes fights in Thailand that told us the KO Fightgear Thai bag is the best feeling bag he's ever trained on and that's, anywhere. Bags with a foam liner are a gimmick. Stay clear of bags that are quick filled using inferior mechanical/hydraulic methods which are touted by our competitors. They'll dump a slurry of rag or a combination of rag with other filler into their bag and then bang down with a mechanical/hydraulic piston, the top lid is zippered closed and ready for sale. A telltale indicator of a mechanical/hydraulic filling process is that you'll find density compression variations with bulges and thin spots along the length of a bag. These are obvious flaws in their manufacturing process which result in a disappointingly lopsided fill that you will feel on impact. Our hand filled method provides a calibrated inch by vertical inch filling process so the finished product has a consistent girth and feel from top to bottom.
• Hanging Straps/Chain Assembly and Bag Closure - We get the phone calls and messages from school owners about bags they've purchased even from high dollar brand names and industry giants that suffer early fatigue failure which includes hanging straps. Our proven traditional hanging system consists of hanging straps secured to a chain assembly which is designed to go the long haul. Remember, our bags are manufactured to perform at the pro level. With the stress of a bag being banged around, the chain links of the chain assembly absorb the shock, not the hanging straps. If you scroll down, you'll see an image of our suspended Thai bag with hanging strap/chain assembly. You'll notice too that our hanging straps are mounted above the bag, not on the side so abrasion is eliminated and you have full uninterrupted vertical contact range of the bag. A couple of years ago, a school owner unpacked our tear drop bag and accidentally slit half way across a hanging strap. Upon receiving notice, we immediately sent him a section of hanging strap material with the instruction for an industrial sewer to bridge the material over the slit and stitch both ends to the original strap. A year later he gave us a call for Thai pads and I asked him about the bag. He never repaired the hanging strap. Even with the hanging strap cut half way through, the damage did not spread and the strap performed fine. This is an example of the over engineering that goes into our bags. We don't use zippers to close the top lid of our bag. Zippers are mechanical parts and mechanical parts break. We lace through steel grommets and fasten closed with a secure knot.
• Stabilizing Bag Safety Factor - Our Nylon Loop vs. their Steel D ring - Our bag by design has a soft nylon loop, not a steel D ring located at the center of the bag underside for controlling movement. Intentionally, there are no hard surfaces on our bag from the underside to top. In case of an errant leg strike, the potential for foot injury is greatly diminished.
• Shipping Cost Explanation 150 lbs vs. 130 lbs. We ship bags up to 150 lbs to your door by UPS Small Package service. When cost effective, we ship multiple bag quantities by UPS Freight. Our 150 lbs, 6 foot Muay Thai bag is a robust bag that exceeds the UPS Small Package height and girth threshold resulting in the "large package" surcharge. This is an additional UPS charge that results in a significant increase above the standard shipping rate. We are up front about this cost. When an order is received for a 150 lbs Muay Thai bag, we quote shipping cost for both the 150 lbs and 130 lbs so our customer can review both options. Our 130 lbs Muay Thai bag is our number one seller, a seriously stout product that is also designed for aggressive applications.
  
  We were contacted by a fitness facility that had issues with a 150 lbs Muay Thai bag purchased from another company, an internet advertiser. Surprisingly, after our inspection, though advertised as a 150 lbs bag, dimensions and weight were more in line with our 130 lbs. This comparison is only for dimensions and weight. Their product does not match up to the structural integrity, durability, and the all so special "sweet feel" of a handmade KO Fightgear Muay Thai / heavy bag. We know that our customers are plenty wise in understanding the reality of cost. Our customers make their decisions based on needs and goals. When you purchase from KO Fightgear, you are buying from a "deception free" zone.
• Color Selection - You'll find a company that offers 144 color options for their heavy bags and exclaim the reason as, "Don't be boring, have some fun!." That works fine for sampling lipstick shades at the cosmetic counter or selecting a topping for an ice-cream cone. We're not in the mix and match business, we're in the heavy bag business. We look equally at the manufacture of our bags and your training program, both based on dedication and accomplishment. "Fun" only lasts a few simple moments while accomplishment lasts forever. We have customers that prefer the classic "Plain Jane" look of our bags, similar to a "sleeper" hot rod. They're tuned into the uncluttered appearance of a solid color, our minimal branding with no garish logos or bloated alphabet letters, components well aligned, tight stitching and that all critical fill job. We receive much gratitude for this concept. We also have customers that are tuned into multi colors and intrusive graphics that say; "This bag is ugly, but I love it!" We stock solid black bags and do offer a color variety of black, red, and royal blue.
• Product Warranty - We go over the top in craftsmanship and materials so our Thai bags and heavy bags crank out high mileage. All our bags come with a full one year warranty against manufacturer's defect. If there's a defect it would surface immediately. There's only been a handful over the years and again we encourage you to check the forums to confirm the durability and longevity of our product. Our longstanding policy is to ship a factory fresh filled replacement bag at no extra charge to you. Recently, a security contractor in Afghanistan sent a requisition to his company's purchasing agent for Thai bags and Tear Drop bags and we received the order. The requisition specification was for "KO Fightgear product only". This is a strong indicator of confidence in the integrity of our heavy bags. There are longer warranties out there, different terms, but they aren't exactly as if John Hancock or John Henry is signing on the dotted line.
• Local Pick-Up - If you're traveling on the east coast, along I-95 and are heading through Central New Jersey, we'll coordinate to meet you near The NJ Turnpike exit No 10. We've hoisted our share of bags on to big rig sleepers. In fact, if you'll tell us in advance how you like your coffee, besides saving on the shipping charges, we'll tote you a fresh cup. We'll accommodate your schedule including weekends.
• Shipping to Puerto Rico and the Caribbean - We're creative in assisting you to lower your shipping cost. We're located in Central New Jersey, a short distance from New York City. A customer pick-up can be done at our facility. You can then ship by one of the specialized shipping companies located in New York City that services your destination.
• International Shipments - We're located only 18 miles from the ocean port of Newark, New Jersey and near all New York City area international airports. We ship ocean LCL (Less Than Container Load) and FCL (Full Container Load). We offer a crating service for LCL shipments for the prevention of transit damage loss.

If you have an idea, let's talk! Since you're shopping for a Muay Thai bag, you may also want to give our 120 lb. tear drop bag a look.

Keep the following thought in mind during your decision-making process. Unlike a tank or two of gasoline, purchasing a bag is a one-time, long-term purchase, so it pays to get the best. Do not judge us against the low cost bags, but against the high dollar brands and if you do, you'll find significant savings, about $100.00 in selecting our product. But more so, you're purchasing a far superior bag and this we assure you. Besides, we're "Average Joes" offering the most extraordinary heavy bags.

Since you set aside your time to read through all the above information, you're now a Muay Thai bags and heavy bags expert and we trust that you will use this knowledge accordingly and consider KO Fightgear for your Muay Thai bag and heavy bag requirements. Thank you for reading.
