what to buy with $20?

How do you make a makiwara
A hammer. Makes a great bludgeon, and you can use it while building makiwara and such.

No idea, but it probably involves a hammer.

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!

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.

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.

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?
