A punching bag is a tough bag which is supposed to be punched or kicked a lot. In the last case, it may be called a kicking bag. It is used in exercise or stress relief to improve one of three areas: physical strength, aerobic fitness or martial arts techniques.
History
Punching bags have been used in martial arts for as long as there has been a written history of military training.[1] Similar apparatus in Asian martial arts include the Okinawan makiwara and the Chinese mook jong, which may have padded striking surfaces attached to them.
