    You are right, Gino. I left out the folding mat.
    It goes right in your car, and is easy to carry. Buy two and you have a big enough area to do throws and roll.
    Clorox wipes and purell as well as a small first aid kit.
    BTW- I found that the cloth bandaids hold better than the rubbery "sport" ones.

    On a similar note, puzzle mats break down easily and can probably cover more area than folding mats and take up less space in your vehicle.

    Sweet... didn't think of that... I have to call my puzzle mat guy and see how much it is to grab a couple mats and have them sent to me.

    I also am planning to purchase a body snatcher/wrecking ball bag to hang up. These develop wicked uppercuts and body punches.

    I would hope to be training with people that I respect enough not to think of them as "equipment"

    the banana bag is perfect for my style........
    I wasn't referring to any specific bag type, but on the occasions I've got to use banana bags (not as often as i'd like...haven't been able to afford membership to a good gym) I liked 'em. Not sure if I prefer them to regular heavy bags, as I haven't had enough experience with them to compare.

    But I really, really like punching things.

    Bag would be choice one, although pads are cheaper...if you have someone to hold them, then you have someone to throw.
    Folding Matt would be number 3.
    Nobody mentioned my number 2 yet...what about a mirror?

    Yes... another good answer. Sometimes I would kill for a training partner.

    For us, its also perfect. Especially for FULL ON sow choys designed to strike the neck. Its also great for CLF style sweeps and everything else. I do like that bag.....
