Holy $500 Batman!
Yeap, well worth it though.. I got my mine from my wife for my bday :o) She got tired of me saying.. "Babe, let me try this move real quick".. :oD Her beautiful 95lb little frame didn't work well under those conditions.lol
The holidays are right around the corner though so... make your wish list now, and maybe someone close to u will do the same! :o)
I bought a grappling dummy a year ago but it has nothing on that one. I think I'm gonna be purchasing one of these asap. My other one I'll use for ground and pound
Thanks everybody for the advice I'm keen for all the help I can get I'll take anything into consideration
Hey anyone have the other grappling dummy called Bubba? http://www.bubbadummy.com/ the video looks like that dummy has some more realistic body parts and joints you can feel and focus on vs what appears to be just a pillowlike feeling with that other grappling dummy. Check this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQyYI...layer_embedded not bagging on the other one just want to know if someone has invested in this one or has compared the two because i'm thinking of getting one.
I practically learned 10thplanet Rubber Guard by logging hours of drill time on the one that stays postured up in the guard, the one that I originally posted on.. Don't get me wrong the dummy was tight, and hard to move around.. plus at the time of purchase I wasn't as flexible which made it worse.. Shoulders are slightly broader than i would've liked.. out of the box, i was discouraged because of everything i basically said above. Still determined, i worked on him, i covered all my positions, side, guard, mount.. Einstein taught me the north south from the all stars, as well as some other neat tricks from side control.. I must've sat there an practiced that shit 100's times, slowly moving into the position.. The perviuan..I did jump drills an broke that position down 100 times.. then in class i was nailing both the pervuian and the one arm in north south chokes like it was second nature.. over time an through many top drills..it started to break in.. i sat there.. reading, and watching the dvd's .. teaching myself after awhile .. i said.. let me try some more RG on this guy.. my flexibiltty had started to get better.. and some of the moves i was actually starting to hit.. now I have a series of moves that I know I can do, and wrote them out on a piece of paper as a list.., everything starts with the basic path.. breaking him down, MC/RC/CC.. I simulate so many options.. the mission pump, the pump.. i could go on and on.. There's definitely some moves that you just can't get him to do .. I still say fuck it.. I managed to get the lock down on it.. and I do whip up drills, although my wife's gets a little worried when I'm doing that one..:o) Either way it has helped me perform the move better during live rolls..
i found a new excercise while i was stretching my hips.. simply put, gogoplata your own knee. its the best rubber guard stretch im aware of... and yeah its a gopoplata yay
