The BOB XL has a longer torso with a striking area of over a foot in length, which takes the form of a lower abdominal area and shorts. For tactical or self-defense training, you can practice throwing lower punches and kicks, as well as groin shots. Of course, BOB XL has the same famous scowl as his predecessor. BOB XL, like BOB, is an excellent training bag for specific target training, such as eye gouges/wipes/jabs, neck and throat strikes, slaps, jawline hooks, and so much more. The humanoid shape of BOB XL is the next best thing to practice on a real human – perhaps even better, given that BOB XL will stick around to train with you even after you've finished.

Are you tired of training with people who are way too tall or short for you? You're covered with BOB XL! The bag's "body" can move up and down the central stem (or be removed entirely for transport and storage reasons). Between 60" and 78" total height, there are seven height settings. BOB XL, like other Century freestanding bags, has a rounded base. This base can be filled with sand or water, and when fully filled, it weighs up to 270 lbs. Why is the base rounded? It's simple: all you have to do to move BOB XL is tip him onto the side of the base and roll him! Despite his weight, this method allows him to be relocated by one person.

BOB XL is an excellent martial arts training tool. He's tough enough for kickboxing, muay Thai, karate, taekwondo, and other striking arts, and his features make him suitable for tactical training in jeet Kune do and krav maga.
