training in a small place?

Postby Mihai_Pruna » Fri Feb 15, 2008 10:25 am

I have a decent size bedroom and it's the only place where I could conceivably set up a pell. Any suggestions for making an apartment sized pell? :)

The main problem I have with any indoor practice is the ceiling height. I am lucky enough to have a vaulted living room ceiling so I can do slow, easy swings indoors when I feel like it. Without a high ceiling, I think it would take some extreme creativity.

Where do you live? If the weather isn't too bad, there is always a nearby tree or phone pole.

Probably central park would be my best bet then.
but now it's too cold...
also, I might get arrested for hitting trees? :)

ceiling height is not a problem.

Maybe contact one of the New York City study groups?

Or make a waster with a one foot blade.

I tried that using the email contact provided for the NYC group. I have not received reply yet. Is anyone from the NYC metro area hanging out on the forums?

Too cold? I go outside to practice in the middle of winter, just make yourself a pell that you can stick in some kind of stand outside.

Another option might be to contact a boxing gym and see if they will let you take your waster to one of their punching bags.
