- This is a quick video of the process I used to make a makiwara used in traditional karate training.
List of materials:
- 6 foot 4x4" GC Pressure Treated Post
- Powder-coated steel E-Z Post Base
- 3" construction screws
- 4 concrete anchors
- 4 Large Washers
- 4 Locking Washers
- Project Leather
- Tough cord or string
Let me know what you think, or if you have any idea that could make this design better.
EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks
This is a really professional build, thank you for sharing this is awesome.
Thanks Eduardo! It has lasted well for me.
Real nice job. Thanks for sharing.
awesome thanks for the video, can't wait to build for my son and I!!!
Genuinely helpful
Thanks
Well done. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant video Bryce, very professional. Will make my own now, thank you very much! 👍👊
Nicely done
Nice work
Brilliant!
Thank you! It has served me well for a while now.
Muchas gracias por el aporte ....se acaba de salir con todo y base de concreto mi makiwara y ya me diste una gran idea para que no se salga ....muchas gracias
Que madera recomiendan?? Me dijeron que álamo, será verdad???
@@christianrr81 No se mucho de madera pero creo que lo hice de cedro
No lo ideal son maderas flexibles no rígidas....la mejor para esto es el guatambu y lo ideal es más inclinado que el video yo le pondría casi el doble de inclinacion
Nice job!
Thanks Joerg!
Me gustan tus vídeos. Por favor monta más vídeos construyendo cosas de karate. Att: Sensei Daniel Romero
Nice
Muy bueno el video saludos de argentina 🤙
Thanks!
That's so great and looks like good craftsmanship!
Thanks Daniel! Are you planning to make one?
@@brycebaker492 You are most welcome, Bryce! Indeed I'm eager to make one soon. I actually had bought wood planks already and after your video realized that I need to buy again if I want to make one properly.
@@brycebaker492 Now I have a 12x12x300 cm lol, and I need to find a way to cut it at home with circular hand saw but no workshop or bench. 🤔
Sounds like you are on your way! Be sure to set the depth of the saw blade to make it just over half way through. Then do it again on the opposite side.
@@brycebaker492 mm ok ok ty. So I might need to put some extra wood between the "square rod" (to be cut) cut and the saw blade as I can not adjust it.
Nice Job!!!
Thanks! It has lasted well for me.
I like that. I made mine different as its for outdoors but this one is awesome!
Thanks! I have do an outdoor on in the past, but my neighbors were getting annoyed. Hope your training goes uninterrupted!
@@brycebaker492 You adapted well, you're like a professional making that board, I would buy one from you, lol!
As for my training, I plan to use every morning before work so the neighbors around here won't even be awake!
Nice job my dude!!
Thank you!
Love this build✊✔️, if you have to re-tighten up the wedge anchor nuts down the road, means you're doing work!
Thank you. They are holding tight so far...
Thanks for the video. I assume that the end result height is around 4 feet?
(Argentina ) "ha newbie ..." (*hit the wall*)
What type of wood did you use? I know it’s a pressure treated fence post, I think what people really want to know is whether or not it’s oak, ash, maple etc. Really useful video thanks.
The one I used was yellow pine. There may be better wood types out there for durability, but this has good flex. Plus it is cheap enough that you can easily replace it if it breaks.
Love it and on the books to make. 3 years later anything you would do differently? How's it holding up?
I would choose a hardwood like oak instead of the post I cut. It dried out and broke on me. The base has worked out great though.
@@brycebaker492 much appreciated! Ill see what I can find at the lumber yard. thanks!
Cool video ,thanks for uploading. There is no way to drill into water hose/pipe in the concrete right? Those should be way lower ?
I would definitely check it out before drilling. That would be an expensive repair. Thank you for the comment!
You have to do a video on how to make the leather pad!
I can do that!
Hi, very interesting video and it shows that this is a of a high quality.
I a m not able to achieve such a work, thus where can you advise me to purchase a good makiwara (Il live in France)
Philippe
Thank you! If you don't have access to the tools or materials to make one yourself, this etsy shop looks to be good quality and has several options. www.etsy.com/listing/505088153/beginner-makiwara-martial-arts-training?gpla=1&gao=1&&EAIaIQobChMI1d22yKmw7wIVC9vACh24AQicEAQYASABEgLLZ_D_BwE_k_&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1d22yKmw7wIVC9vACh24AQicEAQYASABEgLLZ_D_BwE

how are the anchors holding up? has it loosen up from the floor?
Solid as a rock so far. In fact, the board broke in half at a weak point near a knot hole. I used the other side of the post I split to replace it and it is going well so far.
I used the same anchors on a heavy bag mount and they are holding firm also.
now make a traditional wooden dummy please ! just subbed btw ! nice video
I've always wanted one, but they are so huge! I settled for the heavy bag style dummy in my other videos. I like it because you can do throws and arm clearing techniques.
So how much did all of that cost you to make? vs what it‘ll actually cost to buy one? As far as design, looks fine the way it is.
Very cheap! The post was under $7, ez post base was $20, concrete anchors were $8, and a few extra dollars for screws and washers. The biggest expense would be the tools if you don't have them (saw, drill, concrete drill bit). The pad on top could really be anything.
Excellent. The only way that the video could have been better is if you had verbally explained the process. Hope to see many more in the future.
Thank you for the feedback!
Thanks for the information and are you selling them
Glad you found it helpful! Unfortunately, I am not selling them. This is just the one I made for myself.
You are very good at construction. In this case, building a Makiwara board. Would you be willing to build one for me? I will pay you in kind. Or, where do I purchase a Makiwara board that is the quality of your work? Thank you.
good afternoon, how do you pass the measurements and the type of wood you used to build this makiwara?
Hello! The piece of wood I am using is a 4x4 pressure treated fence post. 6 ft tall. The measurements are in the video. Everything is in English standard.
@@brycebaker492 Good night, I want to know the length and width
In Brazil the measures are different
Que madera usaste??? O cual recomiendas
Usé madera tratada a presión. Lo más importante es ser fuerte pero flexible.
Can you pass me the measures of the wood pieces and the name of the steel piece at the toe?
Also the kind of wood you work with.. If it is possible!!
Sure! The post is a 4x4 inch, 6ft long pressure treated fence post. The measurements on the ends were 3/8 inch for mine with a diagonal cut between them, giving me 2 usable maki boards. The steel peice is called EZ Post bracket. I secured it to the ground with cement anchors.
Gracias por el vídeo, pero deberías cuidarte del polvo de madera. Causa mucho daño respirarlo. Saludos
Any suggestions i broke the welds on my fence post bracket
Was your bracket fixed with bolts on the front and back? Does your board flex much? You can replace it with another bracket since they don't cost too much. I am surprised to hear that it broke on you.
@@brycebaker492 well my power is great. LoL its great, i have taken it off and am in the process of putting reinforcement welds and putting it back together. Should i place the bolts on the back or front of the post bracket?
Front and back if you can. Front if you have to do one or the other.
An important thing to remember is that makiwara training is mostly for perfecting your punch technique and not really for power shots. Benefits of hardening hands come over time but power is better developed on a heavy bag.
Best makiwara build I've seen on here! Thank you for sharing. I want to build one as well. How tall should this be and how do you suggest to mount it to a piece of plywood to make it portable? Would it have to be lifted at the bottom to allow it to be mounted with the 4x4 bracket? This video is a great example but it would probably need more width on the sides for Shuto Uke, etc.:

Thank you! Height varies from person to person but a good rule of thumb is to make the striking pad come to your solar plexus height when you are standing up straight. If you go the plywood route, make sure the plywood is thick and I would use flat headed bolts with washers coming up from the underside of the plywood and through the 4x4 bracket and then use locking washers and nuts on the topside. I would agree that this version may be a little slim to practice shuto drills. I typically train shuto on a heavy bag.
@@brycebaker492 Thanks for replying! Would 1/2 inch plywood be too thin for the base you think? Do you think another material would be better for the base? Also, my last comment about Shuto, I was actually referring to that link in my comment. It shows another makiwara with the plywood base but it's lifted about 3 inches off the ground.
well done the makiwara,but your punching technique is terrible😆
I'm sure you will figure our that technique someday. Thanks for the compliment!
