The bag has been scarred and my arms are recovering after an intense workout with my ASP baton on one of my in house heavy bags. How many of you like to hit your bag, tires, etc. with your sticks or blade trainers and how often do you do it? For myself I try to get a bag workout in with my ASP, Stick or Blade Trainer about every other day and yes I do go through bags. (though I do ducktape them for a long, long time)
