QiSei - Qigong Exercise Tools

Do it yourself QiSei.

They are actually ancient martial arts and Qigong tools.
Parts needed:
1. 4' hardwood dowel cut in half. It should be between 1 inch and 1.5" in diameter, depending on what is comfortable for your hands.
2. Two 1 pound coffee cans (if you have been really working out two and a half pound cans can be used).
3. 6 small wood screws.
4. Bag of ready mix concrete.

Poke a small hole in the center of each coffee can bottom. Use an ice pick or something else sharp to keep the hole small.
Poke another hole in the center of the end of each half of the dowel.
Screw three of the screws 1/2 way into the dowels, near the end with the hole. These will help keep the can from slipping.
Screw the last screw through the hole in the can into the hole in the end of the dowel.
Mix enough of the ready mix to fill both cans. Pour or spoon into the cans and let dry over night.

Each can & dowel should weigh about 5 to 6 pounds when solid. Hold the dowel at the end opposite the can and do various wrist and arm exercises.
You can also hold in both hands and do two handed sword exercises. If you can't hold the dowel at the end, move your grip closer to the can until you are stronger.
