Is there a way to get some punching pads for the walls or something?

I did kickboxing for a little while and really liked it, but I don't really have a sitter or anything so I can pop to the gym and I really need to get some anger and frustration out. Have any of you got ideas for punching things?

I wish I lived closer to you; I'd love for you to take your anger out on me sometime. Seriously.

Most solutions involve quite a bit of noise, do you have a garden or garage where you can hang a punching bag?

No nothing like that, I live in a maisonette - an apartment with two floors on the 1st and 2nd floor. I think I'll just have to stick with punching the sofa lol

Oh nice, I live in a similar apartment. Poor sofa, haha. I had a standing punching bag at some point, but I think the entire village would hear me punch it around 😂 They really have to be at least your own body weight, if not heavier.

I don't go after it too hard lol and have never actually used a bag before it was when I was in a class and doing punches and round house kicks to a guy holding a huge mat so it was pretty fun - with a guy holding it I could go all out as I didn't want to hurt my friends. He only stumbled back the first time and then encouraged me to hit harder

[TallAnon]

Yeah, we used to do that quite a lot 🙂 Always good fun

There's a few places with padded wallpaper, but I wouldn't want to stay at them...

I use plywood. Toughens you up.
