1. Instead of a pretty 50 dollar broadswords, get a five dollar machete.
2. Tie a rope or set up sticks at a low height, bob underneith at "takedown" level and come up to do lots of punches.
3. Log or railroad tie to make horse stance training interesting.
4. Instead of buying a long ba gua spear, put a tall skilly tree over.
5. 20 dollar waxwood staves can be replaced with curtain rods.
6. Instead of a suai chiao/judo gi, use a goodwill vest made of durable material.
7. (from internal forum) get long line to hang your punching bag on (use car to make it tight) practice line drills on it so it moves as you hit it.
8. (from Blackjack) burmese post....rice bag filled with sand attatched to a tree.
9. mook jong....got tree?
10. Hero Li Kwi axes? Get yourself to the hardware store....or use tomahawks. Meteor hammer? small sledge hammers
11. Arm conditioning, arm break training....get sticks of increasing thickness and bust them with your elbows.
12. use a weight room pulley and attach the rope...go from horse stance to bow stance using all the weight from both low and high settings.
13. garage sales are key.
14. Spear practice? duct tape a tennis ball to the end of your staff...use pipe warmers around the sides.
15- Just thought of this...pipe warmers around pvc or metal pipe, grease it down and attatch it to a rope..to a large tree. This will simulate grabbing an arm that is sweaty..and improve your grip.
