It does not look as if I will get any sort of bag/shield training any time soon. They have a total zero-contact policy here in the west. Great for kata - but just hitting air feels incomplete, and somewhat dull. Therefore, I am thinking of buying something to compensate. Since I have no possibility to hang up a punching bag or a Makiwara, I need something self-standing. Preferably sturdy, not too spacious and transportable.
Any suggestions anyone? Does someone have any experience with Century Wavemasters, BOBs, bag stands, or similar units?

How much space do you have, and are you on the ground floor?

Yes, it is ground floor. I do not have enough space for one of the big metal constructions, except they would be very easy to assemble/dismount.

option 1: reliant on friendly neighbours: using a wall mount for bags or a wall mounted makiwara board.
option 2: a free standing bag like a Wavemaster.
option 3: building your own using a wooden post covered in foam rubber.
all have pros and cons.
Thanks. Option 2 seems the most appropriate, what are the pros and cons?

Well these thing can still move abit, so make sure you have some area around it. Have a look on amazon/ebay etc. for the different types. You want something sturdy enough to take the Huebner power.
