A training partner is the best system to use with the heavy bag. Somebody who leans into it and provides resistance. A setup that relies on a floor stand is going to be a problem. The best system would employ an overhead rail that would allow the bag to move backwards in a straight line following your attack. I have a full sized humanoid dummy built out of tires that weighs about 100lbs. that can withstand any kind of blow, such as rattan sticks, screwdrivers used as knives, real hammers, and whatever. If you are interested I can provide you with a contact to receive plans for such as system, e-mail me and I'll pass the info along to you.
