hmm, real fighting horsebenches have to be specially made. Its a reinforcement technique that most people don't know. I can get one to your doorstep within the month for 150 american.

Does anyone out there know of a supply or import company where I can get a fighting bench?

Starting a new set and would like to have my own bench to practice with.

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Why not build your own?

In case you can't, I think Wing Lam Enterprises carries one.

I saw one of Sifu Andy Truong's students to a bench form at a park once. He said he made it himself under his Sifu's instructions e-mail Sifu Andy Truong his website address is on some thread around here and he might give you the info on how to make it?

Definitely make your own. From what I have heard most practitioners make their own or have them given to them. The bench isn't the most complicated weapon in the world (speaking from a material and construction stand point only of course).

Good luck either way

Hi,

Can anyone give me good measurements for a horse bench. I learnt a form several years ago and want to get a horse bench that I can use?

It does not make a difference and if it does modern benches are lighter because of the compressed wood! Learn to adapt your form to the many dimensions and weight so you could be superb in your practice!

Thanks for the info cranky old man.

The horse bench form I leanrt in Fatsan is village Hung Kuen and was translated as Ng Fu Pai Ah. I only could grasp that it menas five tigers show teeth or something. It s a fairly short form and if anyone has info on it that would be great.

heavier weapons are better for practice. who wants to practice with light weapons, unless your doing a demo or soemthing there is no need for them.

the top is 2by 4 at38 inches long. the leg are made out of 1 one half inches square 23 inches long . .start tapering them 5 inches from the top of each leg til the top is round . the tops will be approx 1 inch across.drill holes in the top tapered in so at the top the legs are 3/8ths of a inch apart. angled down to 5 and a 1;4 inches apart.and add a dowel 1/2 inch in dia. 11 and 1/2inches up from the bottom of the leg for added strength . when the legs are put into the holes make a cuttout like on a hammer handle and pound in a wedge. then cut the tops of level with the top of the bench sand and paint or oil. if done right you can fight with it.

if you go to a hardware store and get steel corners to add at the top it will last longer if you do learn to use it against a pole or edged weapon .
