Master Morio Higaonna is well known for having trained at Chojun Miyagi’s dojo with one of his instructors in 1954. At the time he was a teenager and was known to put in five hours a day practicing kata. On Volume 10 Master Higaonna demonstrates how to train using a makiwara the correct way. Unlike some of the other DVDs this one has a voice-over explaining each move, the hands, the hips, the legs, the number of strikes, makiwara positioning, etc. Included is the history of how the makiwara came into existence, how it was used in the beginning and the different types of makiwara available. Also shown is arm conditioning using wooden stakes.
