How much cut up fabric do you need to fill a Thai banana bag? More than this!

I’ve cut up 60lbs of old clothes and blankets and towels (some ours, some donated) — enough to practice low and mid-level kicks. I figure I need another 10-20lbs to get to the top of the bag so I can practice punches.

This right here, y’all. And please don’t shame folks for focusing on struggles that are different from yours. If anything, we should be supporting others who are fighting the fights we can’t take on.
