Very well made site, and cool info, for anyone interested. Lot’s of cool vid clips of old masters

nice
Awsome, I’ll post the link in the ORA section
those makiwara thingys are pretty sweet.
thinking about making one to practice iron forearm, punching, n elbows.
does anyone practice with the makiwara? pros? cons?
I train with trees/logs. Not so flexible as the makiware so maybe it develops differently.
…
I heard using the makiwara regularly over a long period of time will damage your hand, so if you’re an artist/muscian whatever that needs dexterity, stick to the bag.
Later…
Whoah.
That’s a keeper.
PS. What’s nive?
Its “nice” with a typo
or maybe it is “naive”

Then I guess you heard wrong. I’ve seen ALOT of people with 20+ experience of hitting stones, gravel, logs and trees. They all have arms like iron poles, without any damage. (my sifu is even scarier with more than 45+ years of this sort of training :eek: )
I guess if you do this wrong or in a hurry you are bound to get hurt someday.
Nive=typo for nice. C and V are next to each other on the keyboard…
