For when you really wanna piss off the upstairs apartment lol

Back in the day, our school had a makiwara mounted on a concrete block wall. It was promotional testing day. some kids were punching the makiwara. I had just tested for green belt. I told the kids "Hit it hard!" I got in a horse stance and hit right, left, right. I broke a carpal bone in my hand. The moral of the story is always punch from a front stance! And if the makiwara moves, the better!

looks good.

A makiwara needs to be flexible, it needs to give in a bit additional to the softer striking area.
