*Tameshiwara

We use baseball bat for ours what do you use?

Boards, bricks, roofing tiles, 2X4's, 2X2X8's, and rocks. The higher the Dan rank testing the more of the materials to choose from as well as the quantity.

Oh whuh I dont like tile, thats just terrible...whuh.

You probably don't like roofing tiles for the same reason that I don't like baseball bats other than during a baseball game.

Why don't you like roofing tiles? If you say because of the slate that's found in American made roofing tiles, then I wholeheartedly concur with you on that.

It's not that I don't like baseball bats in my Tameshiwara, it's just that I've never tried to break a baseball bats with my shins or the like. It's the unknown about it as well I suppose...I really don't know.

You guys can keep it :) . None of that sounds appealing at all, bats or tiles.

yes it is the slate as well. I dont prefer baseball bat but its is required for my next testing, so I am taking my time. But I do PREFER Blocks of Ice, I think those are the best, we do those for outdoor demos alot, especially in the winter.

But with all breaking its just a conditioning exercise and a way to show martial arts in a wider spectrum. If you can destroy mass, no matter what the mass is, just think what can be done to the human body if need be.?
