Martial Arts Training Equipment

Martial Arts Training Equipment can be made for the purpose by a bespoke manufacture, of a simple design or adapted from surroundings and/or specifically home made.  The reason to choose between manufactured and homemade or even a combination of both is to ensure that you have sufficient access to martial arts training equipment appropriate for training for your discipline.  Your Sensei, teacher, instructor, dojo or school may have some or an abundance of martial arts training equipment that you can use while you are there. However, most dedicated martial artists prefer to adapt a room or part of the home for martial arts training equipment so that they can continually grow and hone their skills.

Some martial arts training equipment is quite specific to the style and discipline but most of the fitness, endurance and strength building training applies to many of the forms of martial arts.  Notably the rising popularity of MMA in the last two decades has seen practitioners and competitors requiring more martial arts training equipment that can be adaptable for different purposes, is durable and easy to install. The use of a dummy as a static opponent for technique and strength practice is used in many forms where it is important for strength training for hands, arms, legs and feet.  

If you would like to learn about adapting your home yourself  click here for the reference book Do-it-yourself guide to Homemade Martial Arts Training Equipment by Michael Janich.  This is a useful, low cost, handy aid to creating martial arts training equipment that can enable you to continue to develop as a martial artist. Training outside of the dojo, school or gym is essential for all martial artists to practice skill, speed and technique while building physical and mental strength.
