Don't worry. Makiwara is a bit old fashioned. If you do not want to use it, tell the instructor so and you won't have to use it.

It's a computerized society. Everyone needs their fingers to live. Karate classes do not force everyone to use makiwara.

Makiwara is for someone who learn karate seriously to go to tournament or something.

No problem, I studied karate in Japan and never used a makiwara.
