MAKE YOUR OWN MAKIWARA
Although we believe our makiwaras are the best crafted makiwaras available. You certainly can make your own.
The wood taper is very important to allow for flexibility and deflection. However, tension is also part of the synergy in factoring in the proper design.
The Makiwara Guy artist has been training for over 33 years and the designs we have created have included many years of training and deep makiwara study.
Keep in mind injuries to avoid. Makwiara training should be fun and enjoyable and an integral; part of your total martial arts experience.
