  • Sandbag is for boys

    Makiwara for men

  • i dont think so because both bag and makiwara are to train striking, you wont learn to fight with either of them. You want to get a solid penatrating strike. A bag doesnt give resistance at the end of the punch because it will swing. A makiwara gives more resistance at the end. So you can learn to punch through resistance more with makiwara. Maybe someone with expertise can explain it.

  • @Emielkemp that´s why you hit a bag while someone is holding it or get a really heavy bag that swings less than makiwara moves

  • @ZaphodUk1 It should actually prevent it. Kata is a very good training method that has been woefully mistreated by idiots. But it's value is in repetition in a mock combat setting. If you are repeating bad form then all you will have is bad form. Punching the Makiwara will quickly tell you if you have bad form because it will hurt. Nothing will correct your form as quickly. Correct form will cause all joints involved to absorb the force, spreading out the total force and preventing damage.

  • hey thats kiyohide shinjo at 0:51

  • Makiwara developes proper focus and muscle control. The side benefit is muscle and bone conditioning. Doesn't teach you how to fight, teaches how to hit and deliver energy through the strike........It's good for concentration and mental focus as well.

  • Would using a makiwara lead to joint problems later in life?

  • moui, puis ils se font défoncer en UFC

  • @jokeRGoTfAme sandbag for boys? Punch a bag with iron billes in, and after you not say it's for boys...!

  • @jokeRGoTfAme thats not the true

    you ned both to be a god fighter couse you can not train combination of strikes or kicks on the makiwara so you need the sandbag

  • uhm... actually its not about conditioning your knuckles its about learning to strike.
