I'm wanting to get some gear for the house. I'm thinking of a headache bag - are they worth it? A Heavy Bag - how heavy? One of those wooden-stick things you smack and crack into - worth the money? And lastly where can I get a floor mat?
For the bags and the floor mats, i recommend www.karate-kid.co.uk The sell loads of Martial Arts equipment for various disciplines. As for the wooden stick your smack and crash into; Do you mean a wooden dummy?
I'll 'ave a look for you regarding the banana bag. If you mean the Wavemaster type things (Freestanding bags on a sand/water filled base) then I'd say NO but some people like 'em.
