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 :)

i like them both, but makiwara for my reverse punch, heavy bag for multiple techniques.

Each has it's use. I do not prefer one over the other.

I keep asking God what I'm for and he tells me........."gee I'm not sure!"

Both are very good for their intended purpose, but I guess the bag is more versatile..

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. :D

Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.
