Heavy bag work...is it really needed?

Onething for sure is if you train MA for "health" or "performance", you won't need heavy bag.

 

Get a wall mount if you can.

 

can you circle them 360 degrees? What about the other wall mounted thing I had posted? Anyone have experience with them?

 

Depending on where you put them, you can get pretty close. It's OK but it's more for punching.
