Does hitting a board cause arthritis as in training for martial arts?
Dan12365
No, as long as you do it right. That means you have been shown by and experienced martial artist, specifically a master, on how to properly hold your hand, fist and arm while striking the makiwara. It is not something that you can really teach yourself. I have been shown the proper techniques by a number of 5th Dan and above instructors, including an Okinawan Full Contact champion. I have been hitting one for over 8 years and the Arthritis that was beginning to affect my wrists before I started has actually gone away. how would you go about finding someone who could teach you? and could you give me tips on this? Even though maybe your not a 5th Dan, you could probably offer advise please?

Does hitting a makiwara cause arthritis?
Not at all. If anything, the onset of arthritis will be prevented. Naturally, just like anything, if you hit it the wrong way, hard or constantly, you stand a significant chance of injuring yourself...but that has nothing to do with arthritis. Hitting a makiwara (or board, or brick, etc) will slowly compact your bone and stimulate your nerves, building up the strength and durability of the area.

How was osteoarthritis discovered?
In 1948, inspired by the successes of the medical community in treating such conditions as polio, this group of physicians played an important role in forming another organization, the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation. Their goal was to conquer one of the oldest diseases known to humankind. The several doctors who initiated the discussions of organizing a new national effort agreed that a nationally-prominent businessman should be recruited to head it. Dr. Richard Freyberg, then of New York City, had a patient with rheumatoid arthritis named Floyd Odlum who was chair of the board of the Atlas Corporation. Mr. Odlum agreed to become the organization's first chairman and held the first meeting of the Board of Directors on May 6, 1948.
