    Default mengane protection / shinai really.

    Hi,- yeah,..just buy a couple of feet of clear hose at a hardware store for a couple bucks and split the tube down the middle with some scissors,..it will snap right over the bars ,..a good $ 2 investment. My favorite dummy is one I made from both steel and wood. Wood for the skeleton for pivoting, and wood to bulk it up ,..then wrap it at strike points with 1/2 braided old rope,..I left the steel raw so it looks like something out of an old samurai movie,..pretty cool. Might give you some other ideas.

    Default Pivoting base and dummy in progress.

    Here are a couple of pics of the dummy with the pivot at the base, and a new one that will have an extra pivot at the base for tsuki, as well as the head movement.
