Not a problem, I'm deep in the heart of Texas, in my own domain, safe from all the AK 'ers:samurai:

 

[Seig]

Geeeze, I take care of a photo problem through Seig, provide pix of the Tire Dummy, and the Peanut Gallery explodes...................

Mistah Castillo - You are correct, and working with a T.D. will give you the honor of leaving tread marks all over an opponent.

Its all in knowing How, and What to do with one:asian:

Jason,
You kick it, punch it, beat it with sticks, clubs, wooden swords, and your arms and shines.
If totaly frustrated you use it to batter someone.
It works much the same as the wooden man of wing chung.

It looks a lot like the "dummy", Hock Hochiem made on his solo training command and mastery tape. He whittled the heck out of the that poor piece of wood, but he used a metal tub (the kind you'd wash clothes in in the country) that you could buy at any hardware store and filled that with cement. Anybody remember the old hanging "tire dummys" made out of tires and chain or something else to hold the pieces together?

Youse guys are all correct, I haven't read Hockheims book, but the design is probably older than dirt (like right after rubber tires were imported to Asia/Indochina/Phillipines) and some ever resourcefull starving Martial Artist thought "Hey! This will work........."


Your're right on with Mook Jong lineage, the difference being "evolution" and the previously mentioned tires. They give a much more natural feel to stick and knife work than wacking wood.
EG: Having to REMOVE a blade from the tire that just kinda slides in with a heavy thrust, BEFORE repeating a strike series.


Oh- Did I mention the Makiwara board hidden on the design.............:asian:

 

[RyuShiKan]

That looks very similar to the tire makiwara that Nakumura Shigeru used to have. (picture on page 132 of Mark Bishops Okinawan karate book)

I looked at that picture and it looked very much like the girl I took to the High School Prom!
