MasterPain Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 How do you make a makiwaraA hammer. Makes a great bludgeon, and you can use it while building makiwara and such.No idea, but it probably involves a hammer.

yamesu Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Nothing. Save it, put it in a bank. Then the next time you have $20, put it into that same bank. Continue for a while and before long, presto...you'll have enough money to pay for a year of classes.This ^^^I was amazed at how much I was able to save by doing this - enough for an overseas holiday each year! And its not enough that i miss the money once its been put away! "We did not inherit this earth from our parents. We are borrowing it from our children."

Harkon72 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The classic makiwara is made of wood and rope. These days it consists of a striking surface that can be wall mounted or free standing. It needs to be tough but it also needs to have some give while it conditions your knuckles. Look to the far mountain and see all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harkon72 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yes, this is the most popular/generic one available. I have a Wing Chun sand bag filled with beans on the wall; does the same trick. Look to the far mountain and see all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeZero Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Kicking pad for my students maybe? How many traffic cones can I buy for $20, we need some of those? Looks like $20 might buy me 20 of the teeny little marker cones, but I'd like bigger if I could. Beggars can't be choosers.I can probably buy two folding chairs for $20, and those are always a great investment in training equipment, but the gym might grump if they saw me carrying them in.How about a big broom that I can use to sweep off concrete with to train on?
