A great product for training

First off I want to start by saying that I am always on the lookout for new and great workout equipment.
I have found a very interesting training partner.
The Martial Arm, and I tell you this much, It is great.
I first looked on the website and was thinking that maybe I should not get it because…well the photos…but I decided to spend the money anyway.
But when it arrived, low and behold, to my surprise…
It was well worth buying.
the backboard has been updated and it appears to be 3/4 inch plywood covered on one side by a hard foam, harder than seats but softer than shipping foam. It was very nice. Not to mention the fact that I was expecting this grey thing and what I got appears to be hand sewn black vinyl and the brackets….well lets say bracket…it comes with a 1 peice stainless steel bracket that fits between the backboard and the arm. It looks sweet with the black vinyl and stainless steel…almost like a peice of art work sitting on my wall that I can hit.
The arm is better than I ever though too. It is also the same black vinyl but it ilso looks hand sewn and also the foam is shaped like a real arm….It is my under standing that the arm is made of steel and has a spring for the shoulder where it bolts to the backboard and a spring where the elbow is. It just plainly looks great and works too… the arm can rotate but I just leave it in a blocking position and work on getting around it…Its great too because of the spring in the elbow it hits back.
It is a great work out tool because you can hit with full force and it does not complain. I remember using a friend to spar with and lets just say he complains all the time then on top of that I have to wait for him to be available…now with the Martial Arm…my sparing partner is bolted to my wall.
Now I am just going on and on but I will tell you this much, I am now glad that I bout the Martial Arm as it was definitely worth the money. I would say buy it. And if you run a dojo or gym, buy one too…you will like it and those that have memberships and your students will like it too. It helps with training those harder moves especially when you don’t want todo it out in the visibility of others.
I personaly love the Martial Arm and you can buy it on line at http://www.martialarm.com/
P.Mc Millon left this testimonial:
“I had given up on my karate training a few years ago, I was just too busy. I had always regretted it but when we began to use your training machine I really got excited. Now I am back in the Dojo and we have martialarms set up on the walls.”

This was taken from their site:
”
Your Own Personal Training Partner - Hangs Right on Your Wall!
The traditional wooden dummy is quite bulky and requires a big chunk of space to set it up properly for training. That’s fine if you have a big training hall, but you probably don’t have that much space to devote to your training.
The Martialarm fits into even the smallest training areas.
With its compact design, it’s easy to make space for it, even if you live in a tiny bachelor’s apartment! Or if you have a training hall, the Martialarm is small enough for you to put up a bunch of them so more students can benefit from training with them.
It’s very easy to set up and it hangs conveniently on your wall, ready and waiting for your next urge to train.”

Well I hop this helps someone find the right gear.
Latter,
Nick
