New XXL bags at The Karate Dojo
	The Karate Dojo has recently updated their heavy bags and have stepped it up to the next level.  We are always looking to bring our students the best training tools available.  We now have 10, 6’, 100lb, leather bound, Muay Thai heavy bags that have been installed to an elaborate winch and pulley system.  The bags are over 7’ off the dojo mat and are operated by switches on the dojo wall that allows one row or both rows of bags to be lowered to any height that we wish.  The beams, cables and system installed supports well over 10,000 lbs and it is only holding 1000, which makes it completely safe and fun to use in all of our classes.
