Makiwara:
this is one of the most important hojo undo equipment. The practice with
makiwara can be done with te waza (hand techniques) as
well with ashi waza (leg techniques). The flat and rigid
surface, and the resistance proper of the wood board allow the practitioner
to develop focus and penetration in each technique. The practice of waza
with the makiwara is very beneficial if it is combined with the practice
of the same waza over focus shields and heavy bag. Each equipment will add
something important to make that technique much bet
ter.
Bushikan Makiwara™: this is the humble contribution that Sanguinetti Sensei has given to the martial arts as result of his long experience in the Budo ways. His Bushikan Makiwara™ Purchase is an ideal tool not only to practice regular techniques, but also to practice ude tanren (arm conditioning) and ashi tanren (leg conditioning) without the need of a real partner to be able to do it. The Bushikan Makiwara™ unique pivoting system and the diferent levels of strength available make it an invaluable tool to any martial artist.
Chiishi:
the original construction of this tool, as the name indicates, was made
from stone. Modern chiishi are made easily with concrete. Supplementary
exercises with chiishi helps mainly to strengthen the grip and wrists. Proper
training with this hojo undo equipment allows practitioners to understand
the concept to develop natural power on hands techniques coming from the
elbow, instead of from the biceps or triceps. Practice with chiishi also
helps to improve ude tanrem (arm conditioning), muchimi
(sticky hands), deep breathing, and proper stances.
Nigiri-game:
the original set is made of ceramic, where the outside diameter of the rim
is the same size of the grip of the practitioner. The common training begins
with empty game (jars); as the karate-ka increases strength, the
jars can be filled out with sand, water or rocks. As the name implies, this
hojo undo equipment mainly helps the practitioner to develop a strong grip.
Proper training with nigiri-game will also strengthen feet, legs, hips,
shoulders, forearms, and wrists helping to improve balance and posture.
The deep breathing that accompanies the different exercises strengthens
the internal organs.
Ishi-sashi:
this hojo undo equipment was originally built from stone; most common modern
constructions are made from metal or concrete. The practice of ishi-sashi
is very beneficial for the upper body as well as for the lower body. It
strengthens and develops the wrist, forearm, upper arms, shoulders, legs,
and feet. Because of the peculiar design of this hojo undo equipment, the
ishi-sashi is very important for the development of open hand techniques
such as nukite (finger tips strike). The training with ishi-sashi also helps
to develop strong stances and better balance.

Jari Bako: this training tools helps to strengthen the finger
joints and to harden the tips of the finger to favor open hand techniques
such as nukite. The container can be filled out with different
materials to promote the progress of the hand conditioning. Most common
filling material for jari bako includes sand, beans and gravel. Beginners
start their training with soft material, increasing according to the progress
of the practitioner

Makiage Kigu: the training with this hojo undo equipment helps
in the development and strengthening of the grip and wrist. The practice
with makiage kigu is also a good supplemental exercise to develop the forearms.
The construction of this equipment is very simple: tie one end of a rope
to a short metal bar (it will work better if the bar has handles at both
ends), and the other end to a weight. The resistance obtained with the training
will depend on how heavy the weight is that you choose to use.

Kongoken: Miyagi Sensei was introduced to the practice of kongoken in one of his visits to teach in Hawaii. Kongoken is a hojo undo equipment that permits individual training, as well as training with a partner. The form and weight of kongoken is very beneficial to develop a strong body and powerful grappling techniques. Arm conditioning, and leg conditioning are types of training that can be practiced individually. Partners can team up with each other to execute push-ups, sit-ups, and drills to develop better balance.
