MMA Doll

Hi guys,

I need a 1:1 size doll or something to that extent to practice grappling on. Something similar to a manikin would be good. Does anyone know where to buy and what to consider when buying. I need it mainly to drill techniques (since noone lets me practice omoplata from guard on their sorry ass for 2 hours straight...)...

very grateful for any kind of help...

I've used the thai dummy without the legs. I think it's excellent, but as far as subs go you can really only practice armbars, and triangles kinda.

Send a message via ICQ to Flounder
it's called a Grappling Dummy. Search function is your firend. There are tons of thread about them. Ranging from reviews to instructions to help you make them.

Google is also your friend. You can also try Ebay.

though they can help you, they can also make your bad habits worse.
