Makiwara

[gmunoz]

This thread isn't about BOB, but I do own one and it works for me really well. The arms and legs idea would be great I must say!

BOB is an awesome bag. I can see how people swear by them as bags. Not good for striking very hard though.

On a mailing list I am on, a few people pointed out that the BOBs they see on display seem to have their faces falling off. The general opinion seems to mirror yours that they can not take much abuse.

Of course, if you were to take a sturdy dummy's head and mount it on a wing chung set, attaching makiwara like the one I like to it..........

What about "NINGEN MAKIWARA"? I've been using one on Sunday mornings regularly for the past few months, it's kind of cheap and nasty but the face hasn't fallen off yet....

"Ningen" means "human" in Japanese which means the demon monkey (Kizaru) is one of those sadistic nut cases that compensate for a lack of manhood by beating on poor, unsuspecting training partners instead of hitting targets that don't have to explain to co-workers the next day why the have bruises in stange places.
