It looks decent enough. I'm not sure how much better it is than the "regular" grappling dummies that are already on the market. I like how frequent injury of training partners is listed under reasons to buy this thing. Makes it sound like they're pushing it towards people who don't have adequate/legit instructors around to help them.

I think the only real use of a grappling dummy is for going praticing moves that you have learned in class, muscle memory, thats about it. Sometimes after pratice you forget how to get into certain moves and you cant really do it in your mind thats when grapple man saves the day! As for escapes and resistance! well duh!! lol there gona make robotic grapple man soon didnt ya know? Striking dummies are preety good, I have bob, always fun to hit him! Sometimes i sit him in my passanger side and ride the HOV lane.. for you guys who dont know its the lane on the expressway of longisland wher you need a passanger

Grappling dummy's are a nice tool to supplement "real" training. They're obviously not a substitute for quality instruction. It's good for practicing moves that you want to internalize more, and for working on transitions and flowing from moves. I've heard of some heavier dummies that are also good for combining technique with workout. Practicing suplexes and bridging for example.

I don't see how you could possibly learn correct footwork, hip placement, leverage, etc. for throwing by using a 50 lb dummy, nor do I see how you can learn anything about grappling by twisting around a limp mannequin giving you no resistance.

I guess you could stick him in the passenger seat of your car when you drive around to fool nearsighted people into thinking your have friends....

Dummies, despite being non-resistant, are not totally useless. Usually when you first learn a technique, you practice on a compliant partner. Same with the dummy. Come home from class and drill the technique that you learned on the dummy for a little while. It's a good way to rehash stuff while it's still fresh in your mind.

I hand built a dummy with articulated joints the ability to
stand up and be hung. I also set him up so that he can
hold weapons at various angles. I have found him to be
pretty helpful when I did not have a training partner and
he is particularly helpful when practicing throwing techniques
as he just keeps getting back up and takes a beating. It also
allows me to practice throwing techniques where I am trying to
plant the head or back of the shoulders into the ground without
the fear of injury to a partner. All in all training dummies can be
good but could never take the place of a real live training partner.

Kenpo 123,

Give me an email at brian@instinctiveresponsetraining.com and I will
try and send you out the details to the best of my recollection.
It was simple to make but took quite a while. Take care.

Brian
