Wado Guy Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 The heavy bag moves. You punch it, it moves. You kick it, it moves. You knee it, it moves. etc etc etc. It moves. That's why I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiFightsMS Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I still think the heavy bag is todays equivalent to the makiwara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotokan_Fighter Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 i like them both, but makiwara for my reverse punch, heavy bag for multiple techniques. "When I fight, I fight with my heart,and soul. My heart, and soul is Shotokan Karate."Shotokan_fighters creed"karate has to come natural in a fight, if you have to think about using karate in a fight, you will loose the fight"3rd kyu brown belt - shotokan karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valithor Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Both are very good for their intended purpose, but I guess the bag is more versatile.. Keep Smiling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotochem Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 When I first startred training I used a makiwara. The whole asian mystique thing. As I started getting stronger and hit harder it became more and more painful to hit it so I switched to a heavy bag. I just anchor the bottom and attach a bungee cord so it does not swing as much. My wrist and hands feel a lot better and I certainly have not lost any power in the process. Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.
