Training Tip: Flow vs Feedback
Shadow striking (swinging a stick in the air) is great for developing flow, coordination, and movement.
But if you want to build real attributes — structure, accuracy, power, and recovery — you need feedback from your strikes.
The weapon has to hit something.
I’m looking at adding a striking target in the garden and weighing up a few options:
Option 1 – Cheap & effective:
Tie a tyre to a post.
✔ Great feedback
✔ Builds conditioning
✔ Very affordable
Option 2 – DIY project:
Build a wooden man with tyres.
✔ More realistic targeting
✔ Different angles and heights
✘ Takes time to build
Option 3 – Premium option:
Buy a BOB (standing humanoid bag).
✔ Best visual targeting
✔ Good for accuracy & combinations
✘ Most expensive
All three will develop different attributes.
The key point: flow is only half the equation — feedback completes the loop.
Question for the community:
What are you hitting in your training space right now?
And if you could upgrade, what would you go for?
