Our Exercise/Makiwara/Bag Station

The equipment that Jason built for us has been working out very well, and I’ve decided to call it the EMB Station. While I was at the dojo today, I decided to take some nicer pictures of it to upload. This is probably the most pictures I’ve ever put into one post, so hopefully people with slow connections don’t have too much trouble!

I also decided to be a nerd and use the timer feature on the camera to take some pictures of me working the bags and makiwara.  As you can tell, the “Wrecking Ball” bag is my favorite!  I actually hit the makiwara more than the bags but it’s a little hard to get action shots on that because you punch it and drive through and hold at the end of your motion, so you either get something really blurry or something totally stopped that looks posed.

     
   
     
This is what my hand looked like after the makiwara work :P
