Hey all, I was looking for some input/advice about a striking target I'd like to put together in a limited space. I've recently moved into a new place and am setting up a training area for myself in the basement. My space is pretty limited, and I've set aside enough room for essentials. But in the middle of it all is a foundation pole, and I'm trying to come up with the best way to utilize it. I have my mind set on a makiwara-esque striking target. The pole is floor to ceiling and made of steel. My current thought is to put padding on it and wrap it with hemp rope, but I've never set up a target like this before. I've done strengthening before with mung bean bags, rice bags, and rice digging, but nothing quite like this. I was hoping you guys with more experience with these sorts of things would have some advice as to what padding/surface I should use for my mini project
