All weight is underside
If you have seen the post about my DAMN heel you know I cant do much of anything right now, no forms, no walking not even much of the Yoga I recently learned and it is driving me nuts...so I decided to build a piece od equipment that I got the idea for from an old book by James Mitose, Im making it a little bigger and more solid.. Also it will save trees from me going out and beating them to train (SM ILE). I need to find a couple of pads for it. I am leaning towards something I can only describe as a sandbag. My past Wing Chun School had them on the wall. A white canvas rectangle with eyelets on it for hanging. I will need 2 or 3 and I have no idea where to get them. But as I was looking I saw these Makiwara that might also work.

Also a question about flooring
And my wife and I are looking for a new house (also another of my posts more in that post later) But I am going to refinish ½ of the basement for training and I am wondering about flooring and I have looked at (on the web only) these
ProForce
Or this
Or this
All I have ever trained on is hardwood, tile, concrete or outside so this whole flooring thing is new to me. But I hgave to look at it like a room of the house and not just a MA training, exercise area.
But I am open to suggestions. Currently the floor I am using for training at home is concrete but part of a deal that was put to me (by my wife) to get me to buy a certain house I can build a nice place to train
Thoughts and ideas on either of these would be much appreciated.
