Saturday was a light day of training because we were adding a new makiwara (photo attached), thanks in large part to one of our nidans, Brett, and his running mate, Mickey, along with another nidan, John. It not only looks good but has two different tensions for striking – and one of our other guys has two striking post covers that our teacher, Ridgely Abele, gave him years ago. We’ll be adding those – and John is at work on a longer cover for anyone who may need to adjust where he or she strikes the makiwara. Reminder: do not go whacking the makiwara without proper instruction from your teacher or instructor (yes, there is a difference). Hope to see you at the dojo!
Hey people!!!!!
Good mood and good luck to everyone!!!!!
