Century Wavemaster is the original Wavemaster that is truly making waves in the MMA world!
Century comes up with some of the best innovative equipment and the Wavemaster is no exception.
A freestanding punching bag, the Wavemaster requires no holes in the ceiling to hang it nor
does it need a stand. It sits on a sturdy base that is filled with sand or water and incidently, that base
is interchangeable with the BOB products.
Century started the craze on free standing kicking bags. They haven't stopped growing and
now their bags come in XXL.
This
bag is good for the budding young martial artist, or those on a
budget. Although there are two Wavemasters just for kids,
the Kid Kick and the Lil' Dragon, if your child
is approaching the age he or she might outgrow those soon, the Regular is perfect to
grow into.
It is much smaller than the XXL, but it is sturdy. In fact it
has a new base to keep it solid. It is wider and it is called the Wavemaster III base, so
it keeps improving!
The base just like the other bags fills up to 270 pounds, so it is
just as secure as the other Wavemaster models.
As with the other bags Century offers,
the surface is high density foam, with a vinyl cover. And, No the foam does not dent.
HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO THE HEAVY BAG?
How the Century Wavemaster matches up to a heavy bag
depends on how you intend to use one. If you are going to practices punches in moderation or are
a beginner or don't hit that hard, this bag is awesome and so affordable too!
If you are a heavy hitter or are quite advanced, you might do better with the Wavemaster
XXL or a heavy bag.
History of the Heavy Bag
Punching Bags have been around as long as the Martial Arts, hundreds and hundreds of years. Not only
were they used by Martial Artists, but by those in the Military and for Weapons Training too.
The Okinawan Makiwara was used for various forms of Karate. It was basically nothing more
than a padded striking post. The posts were generally about 7 or maybe 8 feet long and
were driven into the ground to where they were come to somewhere along the shoulderline.
A pad of rice straw tied with rope made for the striking surface.
The Makiwara was used pretty much the same way as a boxer uses a heavy bag, through practicing
resistance, accuracy and force.
The Chinese Mook Jong was another ancient Heavy Bag. Like the Wing Chun Dummy, it was
a dummy made from wood that replicated a human opponent in some ways. There were many styles of the
Mook Jong. Some focused on an arm and leg configuration while others portrayed the neck and arms or other
key target body parts.
The Makiwara and the Mook Jong were primitive indeed but they got the job done, or at least
to some extent.
Today both the hanging Heavy Bags and the Freestanding Bags have changed dramatically but with
the same concept...working to perfect strikes, punches, kicks!
Changes
The Wavemaster of today is a product of modern technology and is has
advanced so much but Century has made it even better now.
If
you've seen the old Wavemaster bags, there are some new changes. The height
adjustments have also changed from 4 to 7 settings so you and your children can
have even more levels to choose from.

WAVEMASTER DVD ADDS TO THE PUNCH LINE
Don't forget the Wavemaster instructional DVD. The video is about 45 minutes of
teaching on all levels of Karate. It allows for practice
in virtually any space and will show you how to get the most from your Wavemaster training.
Includes: Single punching techniques, multiple punching techniques and multi directional punching
against multiple attackers.
The second section contains kicking drills and skills that cater to even the most
advanced martial artists.
Eric Wong trains UFC fighters such as Jeff Joslin, and he wants to train you as well.
He believes there is a "better" way to train and I agree.
This training method is faster and more efficient than most, leaving more time for skills training.
I've looked at a lot of training manuals, and I am biased about training. I like what Eric is doing and recommend his book.
