I used this product for awhile. It was very sturdy and durable. I really beat on this thing. Perfect for exercise, martial art training and just something to beat on. It does take up some room obviously, but every bit as good as a punching bag and better in some areas. If you are a martial arts instructor you should have one. If you don't have a place to hang a bag, this is a good product for you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bait and Switch

This is not the Century Bob that I had wanted. I feel that the seller sold a different product that which was presented. I wanted the XL and clicked on the least expensive one advertised and received the torso version. I will not purchase from this provider again. I advise those purchasing to beware of this bait and switch company.

3.0 out of 5 stars mixed bag
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2010
I admit it, BOB is a lot more fun than your average heavy bag. You can use him to practice those exotic strikes you learned at the dojo but never thought you could use without getting arrested. But, beware, my BOB was less than two years old before I literally began tearing his head off. A wide crack developed under his chin which now reaches all the way to the back of his neck. I don't think it will take too much more effort to behead him. Too bad because BOB isn't cheap. Back to conventional bags for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great tool for practicing

After decades of punching air in my Katas, I finally have someone to hit!! Seriously though this is one of the best training aids imaginable if you train by yourself. There is however, room for further improvement. When filled with water, the Bob will not stand solidly with a hard puch and will fall back with a strong back kick to the abdomen.Having it on top of a carpeted surface makes it even more wobbly and a flat cement surface makes it skid. The torso-to-base junction has a 1/2" gap that also needs attention. I inserted several small wedges around the base to make up for what is basically a plastic molding issue.
The body material is excellent and durable and the closest thing to hitting a real person.Also the height setting makes you aware of how much flexibility you need (and in my case don't have) to hit head kicks without a stretch (typical street fight /defense situation).
I was fortunate to have bought this at amazon for 278 dollars (delivered). Prices fluctuate daily and I spend a long time waiting before I could get it at this level.
I would really recommend this product !!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars CENTURY BOB TAKES A LICKING AND KEEPS ON TICKING! (OR BETTER YET STANDING!)

Durable, sturdy (once filled with either water or sand) this is the ideal tool to have when training in boxing or Martial arts. I train with my trainer in both boxing and Martial Arts (Muay Thai and Jeet Kune Do) and train on my "Bob" three times a week. I have had him for two years and beaten the SNOT out of him! (and occasionally my trainer! LOL) and it has not torn, or become damaged in any way! Anyway, great product! Worth it! Not cheap, but better than an ordinairy "Heavy bag" as this mannequin is made out to be a persons face and chest, you can focus on hitting your opponent exactly where you need to (Jaw, Eye, side of head, chin) or chest!

Pros:
Great for limited training spaces, or when you can't put up a heavy bag.
Great for target specific strikes (neck, head, ribs, etc).
Great for clinch practice (grab the neck, elbow, knee).
The height-adjustment column has a good lock and won't get knocked loose during training (unlike some other brands).

Cons:
It's very easy to knock down, even when full with water. Much better when you fill with sand, but you definitely can not go full power.
Make sure you put a rubber mat down under it, or it will tend to slide around the floor.

Overall:
This is a good value for a free-standing bag. It doesn't exactly substitute a heavy-bag but a great tool for training striking/kicking accuracy or speed. Definitely recommend for a serious training gym, home or otherwise.

5.0 out of 5 stars BOB is a tough training partner
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2010
I got my Century BOB at a local retailer for $250... no shipping costs. Sorry Amazon... I bought bags of play-sand totaling 300 pounds ($25 at Home Depot-sand weighs 100 pounds per cubic foot compared to water at 62 pounds per cubic foot). Filling BOB's 3.3 cubic foot (40 gal) base through a funnel was a slow process and some clean up was needed afterward. He sits on anti-slip carpet padding that I had. Now that he is set up, he weighs over 350 pounds. Sits on a wood floor in a basement dance studio. He is not moving easily. The structure below my BOB and flooring is slab on grade. Because he sits on a small foot print and can weigh up to 350 pounds while receiving impact and other dynamic loads, make sure span structures are capable of supporting his load and/or deflection.

He is a big ugly rubber man, so select a location in the house that will not upset other members of the family. My wife agreed to a corner of the basement dance studio.

This is a great product. It is built tough. You can kick and punch the hell out of him and get a real feel hitting an opponent. His head takes a beating. You learn about accuracy. Just like a hanging bag, if you position yourself too close then you may encounter push loading or tipping verses impact practice. if you wish to do this you need a training partner bracing it just like with a hanging bag. You can not hit him in the back, but what kind of person would you be to punch this dedicated training partner in the back.

I've used other Wavemaster freestanding bags products... My opinion BOB is better, hanging leather heavy bags are great, of course, but involve structure or expensive racks. BOB is a simpler set up. He is not cheep, but appears to be built to last.

My BOB is still new, but thus far I'm pleased with his performance.

The next challenge is coming up with a name for him... My wife thinks Udvar is a cool name.
