"Bob arrived in good shape. However, in assembling him onto the adjustable pole, the nuts in the pole didnt’t align with the holes in Bob’s torso. I had to elongate one of the holes in the torso to attach the torso to the adjustment pole. Bob needs some attention to manufacturing process so assembly does not require modification of the attachment points."
"I've used the classic BOB and the revamped BOBTorso since I started in martial arts in 2000. When I visit my home gym, the two Bob's that I learned to target on are still there going strong. Yeah we may have had to duct tape a jaw over the years (it was an epic roundhouse!) and the fact remains, wouldn't trade this guy for anybody else!!"
"I hit it half as hard as I can but almost as fast as I can. Three minutes is a great cardio workout for me at this time. I do 10 minutes of weights beforehand. Power punches need a heavy bag but they could probably use this too in three workout. One advantage is uppercut to the chin temple strikes etc. Great for me. I think everyone could get benefits from this."
"We’ve only had bob for a week but we love to work on our karate at home and he is the perfect training dummy. Also who doesn’t like to take their aggression out on a dummy every once in awhile just saying!"
"I purchased this BOB punching bag for my son's 10th birthday and he loves it!!"
"I had owned a BOB in the past so I knew mostly what to expect, I do like that it's an updated design from the one I had which had the open back that didnt wrap all the way around. Feels very durable, cleans easily, all around very satisfied with my purchase!"
"Been wanting one of these for a while so happy great piece of equipment"
"Putting the mannequin on the stand was a pain and couldn't line up the screws as it was too tight. You could leave the top screw off and slant Bob for upper cuts and knees. This will work, but why do people down grade a good concept?"
"great product, horrible horrible packaging"
"Century Martial Arts would not help me with a return. Worst customer service of all time. Will never buy from them again."
