FREE DOWNLOAD for Nodan's new book @ nodan-karate.mynetworksolutions.com . . . Nodan provided instructions on how to build an indoor makiwara and board holder from materials available at local home improvement centers. His flexible striking post provides "graduated" resistance that develops the body's striking core (legs, hips, abdomen, and upper torso). This core strength is necessary for the effective transfer of body weight into horizontal strikes. SEE Nodan's feature video, "The Power of The Way" at the nodankarate channel on YouTube.

Yes Nodan, I can see what you are talking about, the protection for your hands. I pause at 00.51 and I see your knuckles. That was what I was refering to. In the comment I made to your channel comments section.
