Ever since we created BOB, the Body Opponent Bag and original mannequin bag, martial artists, fitness pros and athletes have loved training on him. They couldn’t get enough of him. They wanted more of him… literally. So, that’s exactly what we gave them!

The BOB XL features an extended torso that has over an extra foot in length of striking area, which takes the form of a lower abdominal area and shorts. You can practice throwing lower punches and kicks, as well as groin shots for tactical or self-defense training.

Of course, BOB XL features the same iconic scowl that made his predecessor famous. And just like BOB, BOB XL is the ideal training bag for specific target training, including eye gouges/wipes/jabs, neck and throat strikes, slaps, hooks to the jawline and so, so much more. BOB XL’s humanoid shape is the next best thing to practicing on a real human – maybe better, when you consider that BOB XL will stick around to train with you even after five heel kicks to the face.

Tired of training with partners who are way too tall or too short? BOB XL has you covered! The “body” area of the bag can move up and down the central stem (or be removed entirely for transport and storage reasons). There are seven height settings between 60” and 78” total height.
Like other Century freestanding bags, BOB XL features a rounded base. This base can be filled with sand or water and weighs up too 270 lbs. when fully filled. Why a rounded base? Easy – when you need to move BOB XL, all you have to do is tip him onto the side of the base and roll him! Despite the weight, this method makes relocating him a one-person job.

BOB XL is a great training tool for any martial art. He is sturdy enough for kickboxing, muay thai, karate, taekwondo, and other striking arts, and his features allow him to be used for tactical training arts such as jeet kune do and krav maga.

Manikin: 30 x 20 x 10 Base: 24 Diameter x 19.5 Tall
Approx. 270 lbs. when filled with water.

You’ve seen him on TV shows, in your favorite movies, in news clips and in the windows of your local dojo. That’s right – it’s BOB, the Body Opponent Bag!
BOB was the first-ever mannequin training bag for martial arts. So, what is it that makes a Body Opponent bag so special? BOB gives you a realistic human torso shape for a striking surface. Since you are training to fight against a human (presumably) this shape allows you to train with a higher level of accuracy than a regular heavy bag or punching bag.

Can you imagine always having a training partner readily available? Someone who won’t flinch away from the toughest punches and kicks? That’s what it’s like to have BOB in your home or gym!
Space isn’t an issue with BOB, either! The Body Opponent Bag is a freestanding bag, with a rounded base. To move BOB, you can easily tip the base onto its side and roll it into a storage space. Keep it in a corner, closet, or other out-of-the-way area until it is time to train. Then bring it out and get to work!

BOB is ideal for training in just about all standing martial arts! Any martial art that would use a regular punching bag, heavy bag, or heavy hanging bag, will work with BOB as well. Karate? Sure! Taekwondo? Of course! Tang soo do, muay thai, kung fu? You bet! And if you train a martial art with tactical applications, like krav maga or jeet kune do, then you’ll really notice the value of BOB. You can practice strikes that are not competition legal, like slaps, palm heel hooks, eye jabs, and more.
If you want an even bigger mannequin bag, make sure to look at the BOB XL freestanding bag!
After we made the BOB XL, we thought we were done improving on BOB. Boy were we wrong. Week after week, we had to turn away crowds of martial artists who would show up at our company headquarter doors. “Give BOB arms! Give BOB arms!” they chanted.
We held out as long as possible, on the grounds that we don’t easily succumb to peer pressure. But eventually we realized that they had a pretty good idea, so we went ahead. And thus was born the Versys VS. BOB.

Combining the best-of-the-best features from both the Versys and BOB lines, VS. BOB is one of the most versatile bags on the market. Although you can’t see it under the black vinyl cover, there is a full BOB torso within this bag for striking training, as well as the classic BOB face for practicing eye gouges, throat and neck strikes, and more self-defense techniques. The arms, which are filled with a soft padding, can be used for trapping (common in wing chun and jeet kune do), as well as bobbing and weaving, parrying, and other moves that involve working around an opponent’s arms.

Moving down: VS. BOB stands tall on three dense foam legs. This tripod stance allows users to work on inside and outside leg kicks, attacks on the knees, and groin shots. For this reason, the VS. BOB is intensely popular within self-defense and tactical arts, such as krav maga and jeet kune do.

Although the foam in his legs is sturdy, what really keeps the VS BOB upright is what’s between them… no, lower. The three sections that form a triangle connecting his feet are sand weights. Each section weighs slightly over 36 lbs., for a total weight of 110 lbs. VS BOB stands 69” tall. 46 of those inches are in his legs; the rest is torso and head (18” – keep in mind, although his legs are 46” long, they extend out at angles so not all that length translates to height).

Made with high-density foam padding for maximum impact absorption, the Wavemaster 2XL Pro features the most padding of all the Wavemaster bags, plus a longer striking area for practicing kicks and punches. The tapered base allows for an unimpeded stance for athletes of all sizes. Bag and base lock in place, while the base can be filled with water or sand. Approx. 270 lbs. when filled with water. Bag: 18 Diameter x 52 Tall Base: 28 Diameter, Base Height: 14.25; Total Height 67 Tall Warranty. One-year warranty on all Wavemaster training bags.
