These kinds of bags are now commonly used to train kicks in various martial arts and martial sports, at least in my experience. I will cite the claim if I include it in the article. Should this really be just included under WikiProject "Boxing"? Perhaps an article of a different name would be more appropriate? For example, "Punching bag" might redirect Punching/Kicking bag or something similar. If there already exists an article that does what I am suggesting, then I would appreciate being thusly informed, but until then I am going to expand the article.
