I made my own Makiwara and I reduced the thickness of the board towards the top gradually over a week and kept testing till I got the right tension. I believe each Karateka should have his own purpose-built Makiwara, I know it may not always be possible but it's ideal. Also it's ideal to have more than one Makiwara with different tension and different pads for different types of techniques, OSS
Generally the Makiwara should give a bit and be flexible. It is not only for developing the fists but also for developing the wrists, correcting body alignment, hip rotation, breathing and KIME! If it's too stiff it's harmful and it is not beneficial and if too soft it's almost a waste of time. The type of wood is very important too. The Makiwara in this video in my opinion is far too soft.

Makiwara training may cause injury to certain individuals. Makiwara usage is not recommended for adolescents while their bones are still developing. The bones in a young person are not hard enough to withstand the stress placed upon them by this type of training. Use at your own risk!
I'm *not* kidding! This guy can hit the makiwara he is hitting on, but can he also hit another makiwara or another object with the same punch? I don't think so. There is no power building when the distance the makiware moves is too long. He should begin hitting a stronger more stiffer makiwara. Also he keeps his shoulders too high. I mean no disrespect to the sensei in the video, but i find the technique is not ideal..
I think rather than hit a stiffer makiwara, which often teaches people bad stiff focus, I'd recommend using a heavy bad also. The board he's hitting looks about a half inch thickness which is quite springy.

And the gyaku tsuki has to be taken immediately back after the hit...this way his arm will be seriously injured...
