I purchased both the medium ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfh2XUOHWYHKQYOvSq2gZ6PyCmVkTFGWz and small speed bags from Meister. I'm very glad I got both as the workout is quite different from the two. The small is fantastic for getting your speed built up once familiar with your striking. The medium bag provides a considerable amount more resistance building more strength in your punches. I highly recommend both sizes.Some people have expressed concern over the latex bladder leaking down more frequently than the traditional rubber. I have not found this to be an issue at all.
Reedy, I just completed this project for a gym for mostly Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients. It is organized under the organization "Rock Steady Boxing", our gym is located in Bowling Green, KY. Our members have serious physical limitations, but find boxing a great option for improving their overall physical health and their fine motor, balance and muscle control issues that PD brings. Additionally, I added a kick bar 4" from the floor, but it is identical to the spar bar. For anyone building this project, read carefully Reedy's directions. My version ended up very much like yours, except I used a T-fitting instead of a Cross fitting. The key issue is choosing a 1/2" x 6 ft mast so that it will fit inside the 25mmx47mmx12mm ball bearings. I wasn't a plumber so I didn't know that PVC and iron pipe sizes refer to the ID of the pipe that fits INSIDE the connector. I also used a 1 1/2" PVC pipe and T fitting. I was also able to find a 1 1/2" x 1/2" wall x 6' pipe insulation stick that fits almost perfectly around the bar PVC, with only a small gap. The insulation stick is also pre-cut with one slice down the center and adhesive on each side. You'll need to seek out a good plumbing supplier to find one, my cost was around $6. My other change was I found a 6" diameter medicine ball that weighed 6 lbs for my counter balance. I also used a rubber toilet plunger that also screwed onto the 1/2" mast which I further secured with a hose clamp. Our gym members are so happy with the spar bar I will be adding a 5' version {for shorter boxers) with a second bar at a height for our wheelchair members. Yes, some of our PD patients are confined to a wheelchair, but they still come in and hit the heavy bag, lowered speed bag and whip the same 50 lb battle ropes I do. They are such an inspiration to all of us non-confined boxers. Thank you Reedy, for taking the time to produce these series of videos. Our new spar bar will be a tremendous help to all of our members suffering from Parkinson's Disease and battling its effects at our boxing gym.
I'm currently making mine. I went to a junkyard to scavenge some useful items for this project and then I came across an old spin mop. I took off the mop and kept the pole and its spinning part, I then attached a wood stick to where the mop used to sit and I'm almost ready to go! The only thing I noticed is just that apparently, it doesn't spin as fast as the one in this video as it doesn't have the two ball bearings, probably there is only a small one inside the pole... But I'll be sure once the pole is fixed to a base. Anyway, I think its speed is good enough for a "beginner", and that's what it's intended for by me, so it will do the trick for a while!
Love it, genius for a starter kit. Hopefully I'll have a video to send you of what I am working on soon. Still gathering materials and mapping things out.
The name or title of any specific deity is capitalized just like any other name, so when “God” is used to refer to “the one God” (in other words, in any monotheistic religion), it is capitalized. For example, you'd capitalize “God” in these sentences: Some Christians give thanks to God before every meal.
For anyone with the Everlast punching bag/speed bag stand, the three little 6 inch bars that have the pad on them(or as I used em, to put weights over to hold the stand down) is the perfect size for a 1/2 inch bar to slide right into for a "stand". Just pop the little plastic piece off and a 1/2 in bar slides right in it
You put a noodle! Glad you’re one of those you tubers who listen to their fans haha. Good stuff! Is there gonna be a v2? I’d love to make this but waiting if there’s a better version.
Not a bad Idea. Had you not thought about a garden parasol weight to slip it into?? The metal ones can be pegged into the grass in a back garden or screwed/secured into any wooden base
Thank you for the translation! The key to the design is a rigid mast. PVC pipes bend and don’t offer the same rigidity as metal. For detailed instructions visit www.fighterdiy.com/2020/05/diy-spar-bar-pro.html?m=1
Thank you. The ball actually adds weight to the top and reduces any wobble from the punches. Without that extra weight at the top there is much more wobble.
I don’t know if you remember General Grivous from the Star Wars prequels. He was the robot with 6 lightsabers that all spun vertically like plane propellers. If there’s a way to invent one of those that could be useful for practicing defense against jabs and crosses and maybe uppercuts on your own.
Another one I was thinking about was like a double end bag but instead of a bag there is a 2x4 or something with the end pointing at you(not the rails). Almost like real jabs being thrown at you. For me personally, cobra reflex bags and double end bags do nothing for me. I think of it as an opponents moving head you have to hit but never strikes back.
Man, been waiting for your content like crazy. Looking high and low for what beating type to use lol. Btw instead of putting your pool noodle above the bar i think you should put it below the bar, so you wont hit your head when you bob and weave
Thank you brother. That’s a good tip! I was going to use two halves- upper and lower, but ran out of noodles 😂 Next version it will be fully covered for aesthetics 👌
Good shit, keeping the active people busy during the "scamdemic", people stop criticizing each other. This guy is trying to save you some coins and stimulate creative thinking = deprogramming!!!!! stay woke.
Yep. It doesn’t work but it the spring is replaced by a solid pipe, extending the mast then you could have a spar bar that uses the same platform as the cobra bag
Bro check out the p4p punching bag on RUclips. It's a cool little idea basically like a spar bar. They have it mounted on the wall but you could totally make one like your current spar bar. I think you'll appreciate the idea.
Thanks brother! I had a look - looks awesome! Definitely possible to adapt by using two short pipes - I'll give it a go & if it works out I'll post a vid.
so you can't do any type of 360 degree footwork cause of all the stuff that's in the way, how abouts you just use a simple parasol base instead, fill it with sand or cement, then it'll be rock solid and won't move either and you can comfortably work around it from any angle?

Dude, this sounds like it's better quality than the expensive "real" one
alternatively you could attach a razor sharp machete to the end, to simulate the nerves you feel in a real fight

Love your projects brother. From Fiji here.
Thank you 😊
Thank you Sir, this is the attachment piece that I needed to complete my set. I have built 2 reflex bags so far, thanks to your vids. 👍🏻🤙
That plunger was a great idea.
Most ingenious improvisation I’ve seen in a long time. Well done. Im going to make up.
You know this guy is for real if even his intro is diy.

Did you end up making one?
If so, how has it been
Thanks for the idea. I will do a little modification to your design.
really good build ! creative !
Solid bro! Great build. Great video!
Appreciate it!
I'm "stealing" this idea! SUBSCRIBED!
This fella is nuts 😂
SWEET! Operates smoothly!
I need to be making my own now ❤🥊👊🏻
I need one like this
I'm inspired & motivated

Very nice, i can make this for my daughter to train her
This is awesome. I’m taking that ball joint idea and material to try to create something more compact for my planned space
Excelente!!! Mi querido Jorge Campos!
Easy to make
Eres lo maximo bother saludos desde la mitad del mundo (ecuador) un abrazo
You u rock!! Cheap and it works awesome!!
Thank you 😃
Thank you! I was about to spend $300 on one of these damn things.

You put a noodle! Glad you’re one of those you tubers who listen to their fans haha. Good stuff! Is there gonna be a v2? I’d love to make this but waiting if there’s a better version.
Yep! I’m all about listening to my fans. V2 is likely to have a proper brace for the pole rather than using a chair
Just... brilliant!
Thanks you save for me 200$ great DiY
UK. Absolutely awesome. Thanks dude. Just subscribed 👍
Got yrself a new subscriber champ! Awesome work
Thank you all for your support! I've turned my channel into a global brand of DIY kits: kewlus.com, including World's First Modular Cobra Bag!
Use 1 inch 1/4 pvc !fair play great concept 👍🏿
Thanks for the idea. Creating my own out of pvc and such. Instead of spending 300 dollars for something that eventually might end up on the curb
You’re most welcome 🤙
I actually think I can make this 💯👌🏽
You're a genius 👏. Thx
Gonna put this on my cobra bag thanks m8
It's amazing
Wow i love this thing.
Whaaaaaaaaat you put a pool noodle on it too? Good job. Your intro is still pretty hilarious.
Thanks 😊 😆
Great idea!
Супер💪🎅👍. Такие игрушки, когда тренировки интереснее спаринга👍
Thank you!
This one is awesome! I'm gonna make mine, and put it on YT, and give you credit. Will let you know when it's up!
Please do! I’d love to see it!!! Good luck and stay tuned as there’s an upgrade coming next week 😜😜😜
Wow awesome video now time to get to making😜😜😜
Next week I’ll reveal an upgrade to this so make sure not to miss 😜😜😜
Reedy Kewlus ok i will not miss t
Very cool 😎👍
Your video is excelent
This dude's awesome love the videos
Thank you 😊
Smart guy
maybe try concrete in a bucket with the beam centered, I think that’s what i’m gonna do when i build one instead of the chair. Cheers and thank you
This weekend I’ll show you another option. Concrete in a bucket though is also a good idea 👍👌😆
Just subscribed you saved me a ton your awesome Respect..
Esta excelente, es mucho más económico que cualquier otro equipo. 🔥 🥊🥊
Not a bad Idea. Had you not thought about a garden parasol weight to slip it into??
The metal ones can be pegged into the grass in a back garden or screwed/secured into any wooden base
Wow, you make it look easy to make. Now, if I can only move my table tennis table elsewhere hmm...
😂😂😂
Looks great! And the commercial ones are like over $300.
Excellent job bro and super like by Warmachine bodybuilding of garage Gym italy

good a idea congrulations.
I want to build one of these - thanks buddy.
im just buying one lol
im too lazy
Pool noodle purchases after this channel 📈📈📈📈
Excellent
Omg it’s here

Hey man, thanks!!
Se podrá hacer con solo PVC?
Estaría increíble que pudieras medidas de cada cosa, me encantó el video gracias
Could someone please translate to English?
@@Kewlus he is asking if it posible to make this with only pvc material. And it would be great if you can put the measures units of all the parts.

Excelente meu amigo!
awesome work, super idea lowe it tnx tnx
You’re most welcome 🙏
Dude. Thank you so much
You’re most welcome 🙏
Can u make one with arm, knee and foot mechanics? I got a idea for a 3 based set up that i was thinking of making
I just got ur self a sub, bro keep it up,amazing, I need to do this 🤣
bro you do not know how to use commas
@@redhood4446 😂
I got watch this couple times
I love it mate I’m sure you’re meant to be punching the ball though. No point having it otherwise.
Thank you. The ball actually adds weight to the top and reduces any wobble from the punches. Without that extra weight at the top there is much more wobble.
I’d like to learn how to make one where the bar spins vertical instead of horizontal to practice slipping jabs and crosses
Interesting idea!!!
@@Kewlus it would be great if it was logically possible.

Very cool bro. I remember seeing this type of setup some years back but as you said, 'pro' version. Looks pretty damn smooth lol.
Cwc
thats awesome
I wonder what will happen if you use a PVC pipe as the pole. Then you have a Cobra bag and a spar bar in one
I tried and it didn’t work. The PVC pipe dampened the spar bar rotation to a point that it was not practical
@@Kewlus Oh that would be Nice if it worked
Man, been waiting for your content like crazy. Looking high and low for what beating type to use lol. Btw instead of putting your pool noodle above the bar i think you should put it below the bar, so you wont hit your head when you bob and weave
