Portable MAKIWARA - a homemade how to video

This is a repeat after fixing and adding a few things to my how to make a makiwara video added on 7/25. It's about the asme as that one basically a how to video of sorts showing my self-designed homemade makiwara for anyone thinking about building one. I built a similar one when living in the States but haven't had a makiwara at home here in Japan. Ones like this with base included (only much prettier) sale for a few hundred $$ USD at martial arts supply places. Needless to say this one's a lot cheaper, just a little more work but I like making stuff so that's no thing. After taking vid clips of hitting on it a few times over a couple weeks and my boy helping me and all I began putting them together via iMovie and this is the result. I'm a spaz with the special effects I know but oh well it's a fun thing to do at night when unable to punch on the makiwara else I'd wake the young'ns. So here it is, enjoy...

Been looking for some guidance on how to make one of these to further my training. Thanks for the how to video! I know where to start now.

I live in an apartment and I don't have a yard, so this is perfect.

I was wondering if you can make a step bye step instrucktion manual Of how to build. this. Im stupid and need someone to hold my hand. lol. Ok i have add and some things elude me. I meen take it apart then build it on camera. From my perspective it was already built. So i need step bye step

Please.. Konbanwa

Wow, very nice. I don't really fully understand how to make such a thing but i did got the idea and image of how to. I was wondering how to make an indoor Makiwara for myself and this video was very helpful. :D Good job on the build.

Awesome video, your boy been watching a little to much Crayon Shinchan? Been wanting to build a Makiwari in the back yard. I like the idea of using tatami mats instead of rope. Seems like it is easier on the hands. Keep up the good work.

Thanx a bunch for a hint... I' ll definitely make one for myself..! Cheers...

@caseysan39 i put a thin towel for two reasons 1st I don't want my hands to bleed because the tree is rough 2nd In case my hands bleed i don't want bugs and dirt and stuff in my hands. It doesn't change the hardness of the tree just the roughness. I remember once our sensei made us rub our hands into sharp pointed gravels (i'm not sure what's the word in english). My hands were bleeding and he shouted you all are caressing them harder and they were already bleeding lol.
