Grappling Dummy Opinions

[Matt "Gumby" Glach]

Are they worth it? They're mad expensive but I'm constantly finding myself watching eddie's videos or other instructionals and attempting to practice alone on my mats at home with little success. Do any of you guys use them on a regular basis? Do they actually provide an accurate imitation of a real person? (without the resistance of course)

Also, any recommendations as to where to purchase an inexpensive one would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

The only one that I've ever seen that is truly life like minus the resistance is found @ www.dummiesunlimited.com... Granted that one is a little more pricy than all the others but there isn't another one as realistic on the market (believe me I've checked deep into it)... To me, it's worth the money!!! My honest opinion is that if you're gonna get a dummy, get that one or don't get a dummy at all... But that's just me..

To be honest, grappling dummies aren't really that great. Yeah, fair enough you can drill the move, but without any resistance it's not the best thing you can be doing. Also, they cost ridiculous amounts of money. Save up, find a friend, and drill on him

I force my friends to let me practice moves on them all the time but they aren't jiu jitsu practitioners so they just call me gay

That's why you reply "Of course it's gay, that's why I thought you'd like it."

I've got the Combat Sports dummy because I had the same line of thought that you do now. It doesn't work. It's so wide and thick, it's like trying to do moves on a Brock Lesnar with little T-rex Arms because the arms aren't true to size. Now, I do like it for striking and general exercise but I say pass.

Hahaha!!! I don't mind being your training dummy, baby. I know it seems like it sometimes, but that's mostly because of my back. It's nothing against you.

you might look at http://www.grapplingdummy.net .. I've got one and it works ok. I am kinda of small so its a little harder for me to move it around. but when it loosens up it works
