Balazs

In 1996, Andrew R. Laudenslager had been looking for a birthday present for his girlfriend. A fitness boxer, she wanted an 80 lb. Punching bag she could use at home. After doing some research, Laudenslager found that no boxing stands on the market were strong, stable or within his budget, so he designed and built one himself. The gift looked like a giant hangman stand, but within days, friends saw the stand and wanted one for themselves. Although Laudenslager's original stand was designed for a 100-pound fitness boxer, it was sturdy enough to be used by professional heavyweights.
