qeySuS,
Hey dude thanks for the info. I enjoy studying liguistics in my spare time. I had in fact noticed the similarities between icelandic and old english (the Beowulf kind). It’s also cool that English and Icelandic are the only Teutonic language that still use the “th” (“ð” and “þ”) sound. German has “th” in some of it’s words, but it’s only pronouced like a “t.” Be pround of your language.
Do your parents know that if you put a makiwara on your wall it’s going to make noise every time you hit it?
You might want to consider one of those square canvas bags that you fill with beans and hang on your wall for training your punches.
As far as forearm and shin conditioning go, it’s going to be hard to do that on a makiwara. As for the beating bags, keep two things in mind. First, you start out soft and slowly, you never hit to the point where it hurts. And second, you always use dit da jow afterwards to help heal anything.
Don’t use chopsticks for conditioning. They are hard. A beating bag has give in it, so the strike is absorbed better.
Also, keep in mind that for forearm conditioning, there are forms (exercises, more acurately), that involve hitting your own forearms together. This accomplishes the same type of conditioning. Again, use dit da jow afterward. The benefit of something like this is that it require absolutely no equipment (aside from your own forearms, and jow).
With shin conditioning, be care with that too. Don’t do it too hard, start out very softly and progress slowly. Excessive bruising is bad, and if you do get a bruise, don’t do anything until it heals.
Is this stuff going in your bedroom? You said “my room.” Do you have a basement you could use? Maybe you could work out a deal with your parents or something.
Also, consider why you want to condition your shins so bad. Are you going to college soon? You might want to wait until then when you have your own dorm room. See, because without beating bags or a heavy bag it will be difficult to properly condition your shins, and you don’t want to do it wrong in the mean time.
One other possibility is to use a rolling pin on your shins (the kind like bakers use to roll out dough). I’ve never actually done this before, but some muay thai people talk about it, so it’s something you might want to research.
Sorry, this reply was kind of choppy. I hope it makes sense. You might also want to ask your sifu, or if you study on your own, visit a couple schools and see if you can get some opinions or something.
Thanks for the band recommendations, I’ll check them out. Ok, one more question. Have you seen the movie “the Mighty Ducks 2?” Before the first faceoff against Iceland, the guy says something in icelandic (supposedly, someone else told me it wasn’t icelandic). Can you tell me when he says? If not it’s cool.
Iron
Anyways “Synir” means “sons” it’s the plural of “A son” which would be “Sonur” in icelandic. Land if of course “land” (tough one huh 
The makivara seemed like a cheap and small solution to this. And the reason i dont really want the beating bags (i checked them out a few months ago) is the same reason i dont use my chopsticks to beat my shin/forearm, i have a hard time beating myself, while striking something seems to be a smaller mental block.
