hitting something solid

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.

RE: hitting something solid

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.

RE: hitting something solid

I am still working on the a free standing bag. But It is really very hard for me. I hope that I will get some epic tips for it. Even I have lots of space for it . So There is no issue about the space. I wish that I will do it much better as I thought.

RE: hitting something solid

The following description applies only to a small lawn mower to drive directly rotating blades. I have often thought that would play the fool ditch near Highway accident situations, but I always felt people are killed when their car goes ditch.I I heard that if a building long enough to jump, you disappear before hitting the ground Falling Vista so quickly.
