Great video and many thanks for your insight. I was considering a concrete build but then your video popped up first! osu!!

+K Goodman Concrete will surely be sturdier, but - for me anyway - I know I'll have to break it out of the ground one of these days, so I wanted something less permanent.

Cool! I'll check out the method for concreting as it will be a permanent fixture and see which method is more feasible for me to complete successfully.

Awesome, thank you sir.

I tried the design yesterday and unfortunately after about 100 or so punches I already broke the welds off on the spike on that type of 4x4 anchor. I would highly suggest a concrete anchor instead. FYI I used the 32" anchor (longest they make at Home Depot). What I did with the lumber I had was mount it to one of my solid fence posts in the yard. Working better so far.

+Eric Asistin Clearly you punch harder than I do. :-) Granted, this design will never be the sturdiest option out there, but given a "no-concrete" requirement it's the best I could come up with. If I had a fence with posts, yeah, that would probably have been a good option too.

Thank you for the design. I'm wondering about the longevity of the post anchor after a couple months of training. Have you found it needs to be re-set, or has it maintained it's integrity?

+Jason Parrish That's going to depend on a lot of factors. The more flexible your wood, shorter your boards, and clay-like your soil, the better it will stay -- and the opposite is also true. Tall, stiff boards and "farming" soil will make it come loose quicker - as will freeze/thaw weather. I live in the middle of Illinois so it held up until I took it down (I built one inside -- maybe I'll do a video on that too).

Thank's a lot, I just set up two of them in my back yard, one for me, and a shorter one for my little brother. He's always been wanting to train with me and he was pretty excited when I told him I made him his own Makiwara. Now comes the tough part! Haha

I use natural fibers, common rope made of sisal. Pretty cheap here.

I anticipated that this would be a "first run", so I just used cheap scrap pine. When I rebuild it I'll probably use ash.

Hi there..great idea that I really want duplicate. What type of lumber did you use for the strike board? Is it oak, ash, pine, etc? Thanks!
