Rotten Head Fok Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Just make sure it's anchored well, lag bolts instead of nails. I have only use a makiwara for a few months while training in Shorin Ryu Karate. I'm all for conditioning and beleave it will help you. Work hard and Happy training Tang soo do guy! You must be stable and balanced in your foot work, if you have to use your martial knowledge in combat, your intent should be to win. If you do strike, you must release great power! The martial arts are easy to learn, but difficult to correct.
