Makiwara Posts - martial arts striking posts and accessories

Welcome to the website of UK's only specialist makiwara post manufacturer. The makiwara (literally a straw target) is a traditional Okinawan training aid for perfecting the speed and focus of your strikes as well as for strengthening your striking weapons.

The most popular way of training with the seiken is to make use of a makiwara, a thick post covered with rice straw. The makiwara also, incidentally, may be used in strengthening the sword hand (shutō), the elbows and the knees. I think I am in no way exaggerating when I say that practice with the makiwara is the keystone in the creation of strong weapons.
