roguewolftamer Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 it was about half of a normal punching bag with a ball attached to the bottom of it (same length as a normal punching bag since the ball had to be just so far from the bag) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roguewolftamer Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 supose to help change the direction, so if u hit it, i think the ball was supose to help move it around more then a normal punching bagnow im sure if u got the ball goin it'd be more effective 12.5" diameter; 40" overall; Weight: 70lbs.(including attached ball bag)http://www.wle.com/media/01663.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donvieira Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I have a makiwara that I bought through Paul enfield and it is the closest I have ever hit compared to an in ground makiwara. The masters still do makiwara to this day, that in itself should speak volumes. Don pain is weakness leaving the body.....moo ichi do.......A black belt is a white belt that did not give up.

lordtariel Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I would think a jar of beans would be a safer way to practice spear and finger strikes than hitting a bag. I wouldn't go overboard with it though. My sensei used to condition his feet by doing toe kicks to a hard target, and while it did calcify some of the bone, it made his toes totally gnareled. At least those can be covered by shoes, can't do that with your hands. There's no place like 127.0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
