omg that one that weighs 130lds. is a great deal for only 200$ it will also be good to practice my thows, sweeps, shots, and greco roman thows. you can also use it to practice submissions and gnp. should be sweet, there are better grappling dummies out there but i could only find the really good ones at like 600$ and you cannot beat them with strikes eaither. wonder if i could practice my thai clinch on it as well.

I read an article about this one dude making his own dummy from an overall, gloves, heavy fabrics, sand, old pair of sneakers and something for the head and also he had somehow put sticks into the limbs to get a better feel to them (I don't remeber how he had fixed the joints). I just can't remeber what he used as a head. Then he taped the overall with ducttape so it would hold all the heavy fabrics and sand inside it and also taped the gloves and shoes in place.

That dummy was good to train submissions and GnP on. It wasn't really good for throws etc. But if I had spare time and a good place to keep that dummy I would make one.

Naaah man, I think you'd get stuck in the guard most of the times He used sticks and overalls in the first edition he mentions from 1996. I read that story a very long time I ago and that I went to check it out it seems like he had improved it, alot!!
