When the Makiwara doesn't give you what you're seeking, don't blame the Makiwara, no, blame yourself.Ever hit a hanging bag wrong?? Same thing. Bag/Makiwara is to help you learn proper technique, BUT NOT JUST WITH THE PART OF YOUR BODY THAT CONTACTS THE MAKIWARA!! The Makiwara teaches the entire body to be correct in its execution at all times! **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLLEARNER Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I am considering a makiwara for my basement or garage. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these?I'm afraid these are really no good for makiwara training--they don't have the right type of resistance. All they are good for is making a nice clacking sound and doing a little knuckle conditioning. I always recommend people build a proper makiwara instead of resorting to these.Thank you Wastelander. I am glad for the feedback. I only want to buy something one time even if it costs a bit more. "Those who know don't talk.

LLLEARNER Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I have one of the Shureido ones, to me it is worth the money.http://www.shureidousa.com/training/makiwara.htmlIf I am not being impolite, may I ask what the cost is? ShureidoUSA does not seem to post the prices. "Those who know don't talk.
