About this Event
Custom-Fill Sparring Dummy Workshop
Bring your own punching bag or sparring dummy and learn how to custom-fill it for your training needs. This hands-on workshop teaches proven filling and layering techniques using rags, microfiber, cotton fill, pool noodles, and hybrid methods to control weight, firmness, and strike absorption.
All fill materials and tools are provided. You’ll leave with a properly balanced bag or dummy—without paying oversized shipping costs for pre-filled equipment.
Compatible Equipment Examples
• Standing sparring dummies (grappling or striking)
• Heavy bags (freestanding or hanging)
• MMA / BJJ training dummies (unfilled models)
• Empty vinyl or canvas punching bags
• Adjustable-weight training dummies
Ideal for martial artists, boxers, MMA practitioners, and fitness enthusiasts who want equipment built to their own specs—not factory guesswork.
Why This Workshop Exists
Pre-filled sparring dummies and heavy bags often cost $300–$500+ once materials and shipping are included. This workshop offers a lower-cost alternative by teaching you how to properly fill and balance your own equipment using professional techniques—without paying premium shipping fees.
You’re paying for instruction, materials, and guided setup, not a retail product.
What’s Included
• Guided instruction on layering, weighting, and balance
• Fill materials (rags, microfiber, cotton fill, foam, pool noodles)
• Techniques to customize firmness for striking, grappling, or mixed use
• A finished, filled bag or dummy ready for training
What You Must Bring (Required)
To participate, you must bring your own unfilled bag or dummy that meets the following criteria:
• Fully functional zipper or closure system
• Secure stitching and seams
• Designed to be filled (no sealed or damaged bags)
Bags or dummies that cannot be safely secured will not be filled. No exceptions.
Important Expectations
• This is a hands-on workshop, not a drop-off service
• Final weight and firmness depend on your bag’s design
• Canvas & Company is not responsible for manufacturer defects or failed closures
• You leave with what you build—guided, not pre-assembled
Bottom Line
This workshop is for people who want control, customization, and cost savings—not a shortcut. You’ll leave with a sparring dummy you can be proud of, at a lower total cost than buying pre-filled.
