Would a punchbag help?
« on: November 03, 2012, 08:56:10 PM »
Was thinking of getting a punchbag to help with a bit of anger management.

Has anyone tried this? does it work?

also, I live in a bottom floor flat, neighbour above me is very old but very deaf, and does anyone know if it would be safer/quieter fixed to wall or ceiling or would a stand be better?

Thanks x

Dunno but they are quite soothing to just hug and swing on too!

i would recommend floor standing for experience

they do help to a point with anger management

particularly if you put pictures on it!!!

what i found helps better if you can afford it

is something like kicking or boxing groups

some where, where under a controlled atmosphere

there is full contact fight

but again this is my experience

because it was control so cant go in to a full on fight or brawl

but at the same time there is the out let

and violence which at that point in time is what i needed

if only we had the money that is what i would do

i hope this helps

sorry if it doesnt
no one wants to know
no one cares
those who do want to know,
  want to know so they can use it against me
hurt, pain, anger, destruction, death and hatred, the story of my life
all i hope for is some one i can love trust and believe loves and cares for me and wants whats best for me

Floor standing is probably best but either way they're pretty loud!

I definitely found that mine helped me to vent my anger in a safe way. xx
