I should qualify what I said before, though: heavy bags and makiwara are something that I have never seen in an aikido dojo. But is it okay to have them there? I'd love to have a makiwara to practice strikes on.

We have them, along with focus mitts, as well as helmets and gloves for weapons work.
Is it okay? That would be a question for your organization and/or chief instructor. But if the answer is no, why not?
