Reputation is always earned. KO Fightgear Commercial Grade, Pro Level Muay Thai Bags have earned the excellent reputation for engineering and durability.
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 law enforcement agency, fitness center, outfitting a school or that very special home gym, the following is an extremely informative and worthwhile read. We've been in business since 2000 and have many Muay Thai bags and heavy bags in the field. Our bags are hanging throughout the USA, including Hawaii and also Canada, from the backyard shed all the way up to military installations. 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. 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 hold you back. A major segment of our business is customers ranging in age from 30 to mid 60s that have trained all their lives. They've trained on Thai bags from many different 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 saying, "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've been in business over 25 years and based on this length of experience developed all the techniques for producing a long lasting, top notch product. The owner is the fellow that you see in the image sitting at the sewing machine. He sews every bag and knows exactly how to sew a bag so that every seam is heavily reinforced, especially at the high impact stress points. He also knows how to fill a bag to get that special "feel". Plus, every bag is personally 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 - We use a specific heavy gauge non stretch vinyl that performs true and tested in this application, both for 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. The material offers tremendous cost cut savings compared to leather which brings down the cost of the bag to you. Just as with leather, vinyl covers a broad range of materials so you have the good and bad ones out there and we only use the really fantastic one. The issue with leather bags is that leather is a natural material that sags and you sure don't want a bag 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 the flexibility and is supported so it won't sag would cost at least several hundred dollars.
- Filling Process - We only sell factory filled Thai bags and heavy bags. We want our customers to train on the top performing bag in the USA along with 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. Remember, the purpose for investing in a Thai bag is to bring your game up, not to stagnate. Our fill material is 100% new, clean rag, selected for fiber content and characteristic. Filling is a technical and tedious process, a science. Two extremely experienced guys can only fill 8 bags in a day and that's total output between the two of them. As the bags are fill loaded and compressed, 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. Bags with a foam liner are a gimmick. A competitor describes the DIY filling method of their unfilled bags as simply gathering up used clothing, including jeans and in a pinch home insulation, tossing all into a bag, then beating down with a lumber 2 by 4 as if you're churning butter. Folks, you're not getting a good bag with this kind of instruction, and you have to be concerned about the integrity of the new filled bags they sell.
- 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.
- Maximum Weight Bag We Ship by UPS Small Package Ground is 130 lbs. - I know some of you have your heart set on a 150 lbs Muay Thai bag but the heaviest bag we're able to ship by UPS Small Package is our 130 lbs Thai Bag. Believe me, our 130 lbs Thai bag is an absolute Monster! Once you unpack the bag, you'll see how stout it really is, and once you hang it up and start training, you'll be thrilled. We have a number of customers, both individuals and schools that went with our 130 lbs Thai bag as the option and are glad they did. The 130 lbs Thai bag UPS packed for shipping crawls just under the UPS dimensional weight restriction for the large package penalty surcharge. The 150 lbs Thai bag would exceed the restriction and would be subject to the penalty. Our 150 lbs bag is available for local pick up and larger orders that are palletized and shipped by motor carrier or if you're willing to pay the cost of the surcharge penalty.
- Color Selection - We either have customers that like the classic "Plain Jane" look of our bags, kind of like a "sleeper" hot rod that you'd blast down the road, or those that are tuned into multi colors and 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, royal blue in any combination and even White Lightning.
- Product Warranty - We go over the top in the craftsmanship and materials so our Thai bags crank out high mileage. All of our bags come with a full one year warranty against manufacturer's defect. If there's a defect (and there's only been a handful over the years) it would surface quickly. Our policy is to ship a factory fresh filled replacement bag at no extra charge to you. There are extended warranties out there, even ten year inducements. You should check them out because you'd be surprised at how little is actually covered.
- 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 offer extra heavy custom bags up to 500 Lbs. 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.
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.

 This is how a name brand competitor makes bag weight. By inserting plastic pouches filled with sand that are mixed in with filler. As their thai bag is worked, the shock of repeated impact causes the plastic pouches to shift and fail. Between agitation and gravity the sand migrates, settling at the bottom of the bag and making the lower portion feel like a brick. Both the KO Fightgear thai and tear drop bags are 100% rag stuffed with absolutely no sand filler. |

Customer testimonial on Sherdog
Hey Neil,
I have been literally pounding away on my bag for weeks now, I have to say that I have never used a bag so well packed in my life. I have used dozens of brands and models but this truly performs like no other. I was a little reserved on the shell being vinyl but after using it I actually prefer the vinyl you use to leather shelled bags. I can hit the bottom of the bag with full force kicks and I don't have to fear breaking my shins or feet. The bag is really not too firm or too soft. I am glad that I made this wonderful investment in your product and could not be happier. Keep up the good work I will absolutely recommend this bag to anyone who will listen. Take care,
Anthony D. Auburn, AL
Hi Neil!
I am so sorry it has taken me so long to reply. Things have been crazy for us! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that we love all of the gear that we've bought from you. The quality is great!
I've included some photos of our gym (finally!). You can see our layout and how great all of your heavy bags look!
Talk to you soon, Seige MMA, Surprise Arizona - Chip Kirk, Owner
(Note: Muay Thai and Tear Drop bags are all supplied by KO Fightgear. Chip requested a two-tone bag so we made a few red bags with black collars. When Chip first contacted us about outfitting his school, we first mentioned for him to pick up a single bag for field trials. Needless to say, after testing, Chip placed the complete order.)
Hi Neil,
The bag is awesome. I had to hang it from a 2x6 that is lag bolted across two rafters in my living room ceiling. Which I don't think my landlord would appreciate if and when he ever sees it. Even with the 2x6 I still have about 4" of clearance from the floor so the bag fits just fine. I've gotten two really good extended workouts on the bag so far and I must say I'm loving it, though I don't think my neighbors are to happy. The bag is solid but with just enough give, it feels the same top to bottom, thumbs up on a good product. My brother, also a former Marine, walked into my Apt., was shocked by the bag hanging in my living room and asked me "what the hell do I have a "SCUD" missile in the middle of my living room for", to which I replied, "that's no missile, that's my new therapist. It was a pleasure meeting you as well as doing business with you, you definitely have my endorsement.

WOW! This bag is more than I expected. Here is what I love so far:
- Number one..it is the nicest looking banana bag I have ever seen.
- The fill in it is packed nice and tight
- The top straps make it quiet (and doesn't bother my wife when I beat the crap out of it)
- When it is kicked, it seems to buckle nicely but not too much
- When striking it makes a great smacking sound
- The quality and craftsmanship is in all the small details of the bag eg: stitching, fill, packaging, etc.
- While my friends are still trying to figure out how to fill their overpriced fairtex bags, I am punching and kicking with my new bag and I saved money...lol
Seriously great job to you and your team. Thanks a ton.
Chris P., Jacksonville, Florida
This is, without a doubt, my favorite bag of any I have used in my home or the gym. It's packing gives a consistent hardness throughout the bag, and after hanging for a long time, it doesn't settle like so many bags do, and after being hit for so long it doesn't soften up in those areas.
All told, it's just a typical high quality product I have really come to expect from KO Fightgear, you're the best.
Dan B. - Twin Cities, MN
I ordered a banana bag from you guys in July over the phone while home from overseas duty. You were extremely pleasant and expedient. Now that I am home finally, I have made good use of the bag. I love your products and will always look to KO FIGHTGEAR FIRST!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful bag! It arrived promptly and in perfect condition. My boyfriend loves it. It was a pleasure doing business with you and your company.
Best Wishes, Jaime H. - Massapequa, NY
