The Makiwara has been around for a long time. It was developed to help martial artists bulletproof their hands. If you find it in the cage or the ring, your hands will be wrapped with gauze and tape, and then you will wear a glove, you can still great man, but the chances that very slim, however in a straight attack we don’t have that luxury of hand wraps and gloves, so we have to be proactive in protecting our hands, and the best way to do that is with the Makiwara.
I spend about 20 minutes on Wednesday, and 20 minutes on Saturday. I recommend you start at 5 minutes twice a week and that you start off with about 10% power and build up very slowly.
