Grappling Dummies?

[anvar]

i have psedo-rolled with a bubba dummy, then i built my own. There is a site that has directions that make a dummy near bubba quality for about 75dollars...

The I&I grappling man dummy is 100% the best one for all grappling, gnp, and stomping and head punts. The other ones are either too small/flimsy or they're not durable. If you go cheap, get the combat sports one for $200.00. Still I&I is the most realistic.

The fighting man dummy, too, is underrated and should be in all gyms....

I've been thinking about getting a bubba to train muscle memory and practice moves I learn in class (only 2xweek)... anyone think it would be a good investment since I only takes classes for around 2-3 hours a week?!

For muscle memory it's worth it, also to do some muscle fatigue stuff (holding a choke for an extended period of time).

The one problem I run into with mine (Bubba II) is that you obvsiouly don't get the resistance you'd get from a live partner, so I don't find myself getting much of a benefit, other than muscle memory.

All and all, the grappling dummies are as beneficial to a grappler as a heavy bag is to a boxer... you get to work on your timing and combos, etc..

good analogy, but damn they are expensive..

I live downtown so there are plenty of bums I can beat up on as Pale1 mentioned, but I dont want to catch any diseases in case one of them tries to bite me or something would have to mess him up and so on

its always nice to see a move and try it on the dummy, instead of trying it out not knowing what ur doing and hurting someone, lol

they're all entirely too expensive.
