Even though it looks like a party started on here 3 pages ago I thought I'd chime in to confirm the goodness of Bob.
When I teach on Sat, if I am the odd person I will usually take Bob as a partner while the students use focus mitts and kicking shields.
After knocking Bob over a few times I decided to use bob for Accuracy practice more than power for kicks. I got pretty good at side-kicking him in solar plexis.
However he is still great for punches and handswords. My lats are very sore from punching him yesterday after being out for a month. Shoulders too.
I may just be weak but I can hit him as hard as I want to with hand strikes and now I see that they have a great benefit. I'll try to go harder as I get back into shape. I had not noticed being sore from working on him before.
I am sure I'll get a heavy bag and or a Bob when I move into a house. I don't really have a place for one in my apartment. I have met some people who are in great shape and only do forms, fighting, maybe some weapon forms and bags. No weights. I think Bob contributes to this while giving you some good opportunities for target practice.
OK, back to y'alls party.
