So without looking it up who knows what Moai are????
Back in the day I was heavely into Boxing and Muay Thai
Have not done it seriously since I was young and that was long ago
I have had a few heavy bags and speed bags since then, I even have a SlamMan
Needed something free standing I could use in the shop or out on the deck.
needed it to stand up to the rain
Created Moai.
he's about 300lbs or more, on wheels so I can beat him around the shop.
My son and I box 3 times a week with him and each other.
I think my son can kick my butt, but he does not know that yet
Moai does not move like a heavy bag but I don't move to well anymore either.
Its made from a log, camping mats, concrete and lots of Duct tape
On the back side is a double ended bag.
Moai can realy take a hard punch to. Better than SlamMan can
Side view
So anyone figure out why we named him Moai?
Thank you
Bob
I don't know why you named him that. I do know he could kick my azz any day of the week! Course anybody can kick my butt. I'd get hurt just trying not to get hurt. Six screws and a plate in my hand says I ain't punchin nothin,
My son had something like that that was just wood. He called it an "ookie". Short for mook jong.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
Added a couple more items
Speed bag and Mook Jung arms (kind of)
I want to build a real Mook Jung but the Ol'Lady says I cant have it in the house.
Its a blast to workout on
Thank you
Bob
I had a power steering leak and it sprayed across the shop
I thought I had it all cleaned up
But during Beer and Boxing tonight every time hit Moai I could smell oil
Hell of a fight tonight
Moia Kick my butt tonight.............

Thank you
Bob
popped my speed bag a few weeks ago
Just popped my double ended bag tonight
Moai is the greatest! SO fun to workout on
he held up to a very heavy Beer and boxing tonight until all of a sudden the double ended bag was flat.
BTW this is my Friday this week and I am not oncall
Thank you
Bob
Its my Friday again
Just finished a large protect at work
Needing to elt off some steam
Beer and Boxing tonight went real well
Im doing real well except to the speed bag.
I used to be so good at it.
I know its me but it seems like it does not rebound correctly off the plywood platform
Im thinking the plywood is not as hard as it should be and the bag is not rebounding correctly
OR
Im OLD, FAT and SLOW
Thank you
Bob
Well check the air in the bag. Otherwise you may be right fat slow old guy! Course drinkin beer could slow the timing down too.
I tried boxing but I couldn't open my knife with them dang gloves on.
I boxed in high school. Then decided my head wasn't a speed bag.
It didn't rebound very well either.
If "Plan A" didn't work.
The alphabet has 25 more letters!
Stay Coo
Beer and boxing tonight
Tonight was beer and boxing night
I love to box and work out with Moai regularly but beer and boxing nights are just the greatest
Thank you
Bob
If you have not figured it out yet, every other weekend is Beer and boxing
We have other boxing nights but mostly Only Beer and Boxing are worth posting
Good form tonight
I am still out of rytem to night ( my spelling sucks) But not to bad
My son was in good form tonight
Thank you
Bob
Not a Beer and boxing night but was a very good workout
12 rounds of hard hitting
Im getting better at the speed bag. I figured out I have to hit it harder and faster.
Started jump rope again. Sucked at it at first. hurt my ankle the first week but its better now
Im getting better. Go at it harder and faster works for this also
Thank you
Bob
1 arm boxing for the last couple weeks. Pulled a muscle in my left arm this time. I believe it was the right arm last time
1 arm boxing can get real fun on Beer and boxing nights. But need to let the injured arm heal
I'm finding I am hurting myself more doing what I love than I did when I was younger
Getting old Sucks !!!!!!!
At least for me right now
Thank you
Bob
24 rounds tonight
first 12 were hard hitting rounds
2nd 12 rounds were more of a beer and boxing night.
I had injured both arms in the resent past but they worked good tonight. (may feel it tomorrow)
Thank you
Bob
Going out for Beer and boxing in a few
Think it will be a good night
I like to box when it is raining
Like the sound on the tin roof of my shop
Thank you
Bob
Good night of boxing tonight
Several guest fighters showing their stuff
1 guy was real good. I would compare him to me when I was younger
I feel old compared to them
Thank you
Bob
