So I'm getting back into karate now that I have a four year old son who's training and loves it. I have been building a training space in my basement and just bought a makiwara board. Link below. http://www.awma.com/productdetail/1217-pro-makiwara-board-dragon.html As you can see it is not a clapper, just a simple padded board. My question is this. Would it be incorrect to simply mount this onto a wooden support post in my basement? I did just that, and the lack of "give" being it mounted to a solid structure seems very hard on my joints/hands. Almost too hard, like I'd be damaging my joints. Thank you for your input.
