I guess some people like punching bags, for me...no. Hanging them up is really a pain and I just don't like what they do for me, I'd rather not use them...granted of course I'm not that strong. If anyone has ever seen astronaut foam then they would know that it tends to give before coming back in its orgigonal shape, I would suggest putting some of it to a wall in a bit of a more tick layer, I've tryed it, although I havn't exactly nailed in to the wall and I'm sure there is a way to do something of the same idea outside or somewhere were physical activity is good. It doesn't hurt as much on your fists without gloves as a punching bag but still does pretty much the same thing, it's all what you prefer I suppose.

This is ridiculus! NASA foam instead of a punching bag? If your delicate hand can't handle punching a punching bag then suggest a softer more giving punching bag. Learn to punch or don't punch anything!

well for one, how are you suposed to punch a punching bag if you cant hang it up oswaldo? and fighting is fighting, you dont need a hard punching bag to practice martial arts or a astronaut foam its not power but precition.

Such devices are available. In Asian martial arts, this would be called a wall mounted makiwara.
