Push-ups are a really easy exercise to do and there are 1000’s of variations. Here are few I’ve learned over the years that may help with your Wing Chun. Some are basic, some are more advanced (please note my push-up form is not far perfect, just trying to give you guys ideas). We’ll probably follow up with a more in-depth look at this topic.

How to make your own pocket striking device. A pocket Makiwara! Makiwaras have been used in Japanese martial like Karate for ages. I always wanted a pocket version of this.

I'm not so technically minded/gifted so I just made sure to collect a fist sized pebble/rock from the beach near my friends house and use trees in the park/woodlands. Thanks for sharing your creation us 🤗
Sorry, but makiwara is japanese and wc is chinese.
Makiwara isn't a knuckle conditioning tool. It's a tool for giving the karateka feedback on proper biomechanical alignment and developing power via proper biomechanics. Makiwara isn't meant for conditioning knuckles. All Okinawan kara te practitioners know this. Punching hard surfaces with knuckle joints leads to arthritic joints and bursitis. This why we cover makiwara with rice straw and rice straw rope. When I trained American Wing Tsun Kunfa under sifu Keith Fain we struck a sand filled bag with knuckles and we did iron palm training on a padded board using palm, back of hand and edge of palm. Again, We never punched hard objects with knuckle joints.
but ..........don't you look weird hitting this in public? anyway nevermind my comment
A couple of things. Makiwara is an Okinawan training tool. The mechanics used in actual makiwara training cannot be achieved using your tool. It is a good tool to train your knuckles, but the knuckle conditioning is more an incidental benefit of training makiwara. But be careful training the knuckles you demonstrated here as they are associated with the Heart Meridians in TCM. Makiwara training in Okinawa emphasizes the finger in which the Large Intestine runs along - the Pointer finger, but it is offset on its striking surface. The Middle finger has the Pericardium running along it, on the palm side of the hand. That said, I dig the concept. It could be very useful. I would make two and use them when I am sitting, placing them on each side and pushing myself off a bench with my knuckles. Great wrist training too, as well as a Shrug type exercise. Just my unsolicited and unimportant opinion.
Cheap & nice idea.
This is a very practical piece of equipment and keeps your hand tools sharp. Good for holidays and supplementary conditioning and is a great fit for the Fairbairn system or WW2 Combatives
fake comment
@@zeltwood... It's a true comment
Thanks 🙏 bro
Can use a old money pocket
I made a great condition ball out of a soccer ball ⚽ cut a small 2 inch cut and filled it with sand...sealed the cut with a small strip of medical tape..it has lasted over 25 YEARS 🙂 Works AWESOME and you can use a pillow case/ laundry bag/ or just about anything to put it in and hang it up.. You can make smaller versions out of any size ball ya find..as long as it is hollow.. the soccer ball is great because the sand is firm but not solid because of the shape..feels very much like a head depending how ya hit it🙂hope that can help
Which city is this? Looks like a beautiful place.
Hong Kong
Is it possible to attach a target or soft padding on it? Or would it be too flimsy where it's attached to the weight on the ground to take the extra weight? I'm thinking I could also just mark height indicators for striking zones. I'm trying to figure out a cheap option of DIY a targeting dummy. I'm just thinking about practicing targeting and accuracy for my karate training.
You could, but as you highlighted, it will be very flimsy. This is supposed to be like bamboo and spring back. It is really for reference. The weight you mentioned would just bend/warp the pole and make it not as effective. As a punch target, it depends what you objective is in your training. Speed? Power? Structure? Most of those can be done with a good wall bag or a training partner. I'd like to build something that could be used in that flexible way. But, I would recommend a wall bag with a specific points marked on it as a good start. Then it is just down to your own creativity in how you training with it. Thanks for your comment and I hope that helps.
Just punch the floor
a wonderful video, enjoyed watching you gather up the material and make it. also enjoyed the comments. I have a few small pieces of wood wrapped in cordage as well as various sized "bean bag" type bags with "bb's" in them. some are easy to carry about others are not. I just think this was a wonderful project .
Thanks for the great tip! I've found that hardware stores in HK are more likely to carry metal and wooden components than BB's. Were considering these initially, but I wanted something anyone can go pick up from your local DIY store.
Arthritis coming soon
I made one using ball barrings and a ziplock bag wrapped in duct tape. Its a bit heavy to carry but its convenient to train with on the go.
@Anime United Yes indeed, It was very easy and fun to make.
Use a piece of stone.
Thanks Jorge, we may try that for a future updated design.
Very useful video. Please make lot more like that
Thanks Vlad. Glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful. Little busy right now, but will get back to producing a few more of these :)
Hey man! There's also this video of how to make a cheap wooden dummy that I think you might enjoy. I guess you probably don't speak spanish but you can still see how it was made: czcams.com/video/V4FwVI18PtY/video.html
Thank you for the link Caio Costa. I actually have a wooden dummy at home, so i don't need to build one. This simple construction is good for basic position (and I've found that's all you really need at first). A object you can reference. Something like a door frame works too, but you can't more around it in as easily. Some people use chairs, but i like something i can reference at my shoulder level. Most schools have a dummy you can train on as Wing Chun is becoming more and more common worldwide.
Really cool! I think this is a good gift for martial artists :D
Thank you Caio Costa. Glad you liked the video, hope it inspires you to create your own martial arts tools. Myself being a martial arts enthusiast would love one of these as a gift. Thanks for the comment.
Umm You need a sifu. There is so much you are missing from this, and entirely missing the point of it..... sorry dude. Nice try.
thanks for the comment Centre to Centre. As mentioned I the video, just a concept that I was taught. Not directly transferable, or to be taken as a strict application. I know different schools and different martial arts do things in there own way. I would love to see or reference other variations and information. Please share, it's all about improvement, positivity and sharing knowledge with the community. Thanks :)
If possible I'd round off the corners. Much easier on the pocket
Hi Microbakery, yes i guess you could round the corners, but i wanted to get the project done in a couple hours so I didn't bother. it's down to you what size you want to make your device, could be bigger or smaller depending on where u carry it, pocket or backpack. I always have my wooden 1 in my back pocket. I'll upgrade to the metal one in a year or so. Thanks for the comment.
Hey Microbakery, thanks for the comment. Yeh if your wood or metal has sharp edges I'd highly recommend that. Luckily my projects seemed to work fine, and the leader provides soft padding and I don't seem to have any problems with it.
