Bag & Bell

Bag & Bell covers the gear of boxing, kickboxing and MMA training: bag gloves and sparring gloves, hand wraps, heavy bags and stands, speed and double-end bags, headgear and mouthguards, shin guards, focus mitts, jump ropes and the mounts and mats a home setup needs. The questions it answers are the ones a new gym member or a garage trainee asks. What glove weight for bag work versus sparring? Does a freestanding bag really work for kicks? How do I hang a heavy bag from a ceiling that is not built for it?

Recommendations follow the standards on this hub. This is a category with real hands-on time behind it: gloves, wraps and bags either survive rounds or they do not, and where a product has been trained with by me the page says so. Where a pick is researched, built from construction, padding type, sizing and long-term owner reports, the page says that instead. Safety gear like headgear and mouthguards is treated as protective equipment first. Commissions are disclosed on every page.

Bag & Bell is in the Fitness & Training group, sharing space with Rope & Rep for conditioning, Pace & Pavement for running and Open Ear Club for training audio. It is launching soon; this profile describes what the site will cover. When live it will name Iron Mako Media as owner and link back to this hub.

Bag & Bell is owned and operated by Iron Mako Media. It follows the same editorial standards as every site in the network and carries the network-wide affiliate disclosure: like every Iron Mako Media site, Bag & Bell earns commissions on purchases made through its links, and this hub carries none.
