How To Build Your Own Wing Chun Rice Bag Trainer For $60 or Less

March 2, 2015 By Enter Shaolin 21 Comments

Wing Chun Rice Trainer Bag

One of the training tools we use on Enter Shaolin is a Wing Chun Rice . It’s a good tool to use, especially for solo practicing. 🙂

We have people from all over the world joining our family and a lot of them have been wanting to buy their own.

While we found that you can purchase this trainer on Amazon like we did, for some outside the U.S.A., the shipping cost make this inexpensive piece of equipment out of the reach of some.

If your interested in purchasing one from Amazon, we would appreciate it if you would use our affiliate link below:

(We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.)

One of our members Phil, who also trains with Sifu Larry locally (he’s one of my training buddies too) created a rice trainer bag from scratch for under $20. He already had the makiwara board and canvas bags, hence why I titled this post $60 or less.

Phil said it was really simple, so we asked him if he could please send us some pictures, video, and a quick how to for those of you who want to build your own.

Steps On How To Build Your Own Wing Chun Rice Trainer

Pipe Mount

wooden dowl & Antenna

Supplies Needed:

  • Two  3/4 pipe mounts
  • One antenna spring
  • One 1o in. x 1/2 in. carriage bolt
  • One 1 1/2 ft. wooden dowel rod
  • 2×6 x 5 ft.  wooden board
  • Makiwara Board or thick phone book
  • 2 Single striking bags or 1 double striking bag
  • Rice to fill up your bags
  1. Start by mounting the pipe brackets on top of each other as shown.
  2. Drill one end of your dowel rod with a 3/8 in. paddle bit.
  3. Run the carriage bolt through the antenna spring then into the end of the dowel rod.
  4. Screw the bolt into the wood.
  5. Fill up your canvas bag(s) with rice.
  6. Mount either makiwara board and/or rice bags.
    (Ours has two single canvas bags at the top and one makiwara board at the bottom.)
    * Even a thick phone book covered in canvas could work in a pinch.
  7. Mount trainer to the wall making sure to attach to the studs in your wall.

Here’s Phil practicing with his DIY Wing Chun rice trainer:

Pretty neat huh?

We have had several members build their own gear from jongs to these trainers. I had a member send me his specs last year on a jong built from PVC pipe! Sadly, somehow the conversation got deleted and I forgot what his name was, sadly. If you are him, please forgive me and please re-send me your information so I can feature your awesome work!

Have you built any of your own training equipment? If so, please share. If you would like us to feature you in our next blog post, send us specs and details on how you made your training equipment, pics and if you are feeling spunky a video of you using the equipment to: support@entershaolin.com.

Blessings & Happy Training,

Jamie Pelaez

    Any thoughts on how to build a mook jong that doesn’t cost the same as a used car?

          Woo hoo! Thank you Joe! I will keep an eye out for your email. We’ve had a few people this past week inquiring about cheap jongs.

          We feel you on the life being crazy part. 🙂

              Hey brother, we are waiting for brother Joe to send over the details. He’s been rather busy and has also checking out how the PVC jong would weather the storm of training etc. overtime. He said he will get over the details as soon as possible. Once he does I will share them and email everyone when they are available. 🙂

    I’m a little confused, putting a bolt through the antenna spring would hold it in place, nullifying the spring wouldn’t it?
    I’ve been wanting to build one but I can’t figure out how to mount a spring between the dowel and the wood base.

      Hey Jon, no it wouldn’t keep the spring from springing. It’s just bolting it to the metal piece to keep it attached to the main piece of wood. The bolt doesn’t run through the whole spring, therefor the spring will still move and spring into action.

      I will be updating this post with another member’s instructions on how they built one in the upcoming week. Hopefully their instructions will help you to understand how to make it. I will email everyone once it is up. 🙂

        I know this post is dated, but I actually just found your site. Did anyone ever send updated instructions on the spring arm/rice training wall bags, and homemade jongs (either wood or pvc). If so could I leave an email and get them sent to me

          Hey Chris. Sorry, I am just seeing this. Unfortunately, though we followed up several times, those that where going to send them over, never completed them to send.
