Training stick, swinging stick, natural wood for suburi (swing practice) This is a natural crape myrtle wood. Purchased about 20 years ago and kept in home storage since. No pets, no smoking. It has been stored in a living space for a long time, so it is sufficiently dried. Although it is practically new and unused, it is listed as "near unused" due to long-term home storage. This is a training stick for martial arts such as Karate, Kenpo, Aikido, and Iaido. It is also a training stick that is heavy and has a thick grip, which is useful for strengthening grip for those who are training their grip strength. Please note that this is for suburi only, so do not hit tires or other objects. While barbells and dumbbells are easy to grip and suitable for training parts close to the center of the body, it is difficult to train the muscles and joints from the elbow down, which are most essential for martial artists. With this thick-grip training stick, why not try various swings such as front cuts,袈裟斬り (kesagiri - diagonal downward cut), and horizontal swings? It will be useful for developing forearms and grip strength. It will be useful not only for those who practice martial arts but also for those who aim to increase their grip strength. Martial arts require the comprehensive development of all muscles, including the legs, waist, back, abs, shoulders, upper arms, forearms, and fingers, not just partial strength. Therefore, continuous suburi with this training stick will be beneficial. Normally, you would grip with your right hand on top and your left hand at the bottom, but be sure to swing it with the opposite grip, i.e., your left hand on top and your right hand at the bottom. This will allow you to train both sides equally. [Size and Weight] Length 100cm, Diameter: thickest part 7cm, thinnest part 5.5cm, Weight: 2kg Please note that the product is only the training stick.
