 Picture is not what you getJul 22, 2008
By M. Janik
Be aware -- the photo shown of this beam is not correct. I ordered it and received a beam that is much wider and flat on the ground. It does not have legs like it shows in the picture. The beam I received is well made, but it looks like the other folding beams from this company.

This balance beam I highly recommend, I bought it for training and teaching my students. It works great for shifting and kicking drills also great for balance beam sparing! Karate on a balance beam is perfect because it will force you to see where your balance point is off while performing your kicks, if off even for a moment slightly; that gets amplified big time on a balance beam! It is better than pictured it has a nice covered surface on it perfect for bare feet. The hinge reassesses so it does not dig into your floor, my floor is linoleum so that is very important, it does not tear my floor. I may eventually get another for forward stance shifting and just jumping back and forth between the two while keeping balance and throwing kicks, punches and strikes.
