Kewlus: Train Like a Champion

G'day! I'm Reedy Kewlus, inventor, DIYer & YouTuber dedicated to helping people all over the world create lower cost and better quality alternatives for training and exercising at home.

How It All Started

This journey began in 2010 when I bought a heavy punching bag, but had no way to hang it and couldn't afford a commercial stand for it. So, I came up with a simple punching bag stand that cost me just a few dollars.

That was my first YouTube video and the start of a passion for creating and sharing ideas for training at home on a small budget. I continued to invent and share DIY ideas, such as a punching bag you could make from old tires, a cobra bag using toilet paper with a PVC pipe and a rotating spar bag for boxing using pool noodles.

I also reviewed a few commercial products and what I quickly realised is that much of my DIY gear was actually far superior to the commercial products that were being sold out there. This, plus losing my job at the outset of COVID hardened my resolve to finally turn my passion into a business.

Modular, Customizable & DIY-Compatible Gear

After trying out numerous DIY ideas I finally came up with the modular training equipment concept. The idea is to provide affordable and practical options for training and exercising at home without the clutter, the bulk and the cost of having multiple heavy bases for different apparatuses. One of my key goals was to create equipment that is easy to set up and just as easy to put away - for example no heavy water-filled bases that are impossible to move once filled. Another goal was to ensure that everything is of the highest quality designed to last and components can easily be upgraded, modified or added-on.

But the one thing that I wanted most of all is to provide an option to save money by using off-the-shelf DIY components such as plumbing pipes. So, I designed my gear around that, starting with the Kewlus Cobra Bag - World's First Modular, Customizable & DIY-Compatible Freestanding Punching Bag. All the key components are designed to work with the standard 3/4 inch plumbing pipes including strong galvanised steel pipes and light, flexible PVC pipes. This opens up a whole world of possibilities, like the semi-DIY PVC Cobra Bag which is fast, powerful and yet super low cost.

DIY or Not, Make it Your Own!

Even though I love making stuff from scrap, I also realise that not everyone is into DIY. For this reason I made sure that to make all the components that are needed to create a complete product. Not only that, but I made plenty of options so that you can decide how it performs for your own specific needs and make it your own!

Train Like a Champion

Nowadays the Kewlus Cobra Bags are being used by world champion boxers and elite fighters in their daily training. These professional athletes and their coaches choose Kewlus gear because of the high quality, unbeatable performance and the modular versatility. I designed it so that you can start at entry level, possibly even DIY and as you develop your skills you can upgrade to higher performance levels and eventually train like a champion.
