Combat Sports 70, 90, 120 & 140 lb Grappling MMA Wrestling Submission Fitness Jui Jitsu Dummy

If you purchase this thing, please get the 90lb weighted dummy. I made a mistake of taking the 140 lb since I am a big guy.140 lbs of deadweight.. kind of reminds me of my mother-in-law minus the mouth!

After reading reviews of various grappling and throwing dummies on Amazon, YouTube and martial arts web sites. I decided to order the 90lb dummy over the 70lb because I wanted to be sure to get a weight I knew would challenge me. I was also afraid that the 70lb would be to short (5'4") for me, even though I am only 5'6". I received the dummy through UPS and it came in a large cardboard box. I used a large 2 wheel dolly to take it into my basement where my workout area is located. Good thing I had a few steps into my walkout basement because this _ucker is heavy. Word of advice keep the dummy in the box because it is easier to move.Once in my 12X14 workout area, I unboxed it and inspected it for any damages. The dummy didn't come wrapped in plastic and did not smell as some other reviewers had complained about maybe because it wasn't in long storage wrapped in plastic. I wiped it down to get some of the cardboard dust off of it.The dummy measured out to almost 5'10", weighed a hair over 90lbs and is stiff as a board. The arms measure between 18-19" and bend at a slight angle where the elbows would be and is sewn onto the torso. The chest is 46" and the waist is 36". There are shoe string type stitching on the inside areas of the elbows, groin, knees and on the bottom of the legs. Because of the stiffness of the legs and the bulk of the torso, the dummy doesn't flex.After doing some warm ups, I tested the dummy out. I basically bought this to practice judo throws and some basic BJJ ground work. As other reviewers have stated these dummies may weigh 90lbs but the dead weight is probably 2x the weight and it felt like 180lbs when I tried to throw it. I threw it about 5 or 6 times to get a feel for it. It was awkward and difficult to throw. It felt off balance. I believe it was probably due to the combination of the height, weight and inflexibility of the waist where the legs are connected. I figured if I could shorten it without losing significant weight, that would help with the balance issue. So I decide to shorten it. I figured I would take out stuffing a little at a time till I got it down to 5'6". Because of the thickness of the heavy duty nylon construction I also had to figure how to fold the material over and to take that into account when measuring.I measured from the bottom approximately 4" one leg at a time, I cut the shoe string thread off carefully and opened the bottom of the leg. I removed a small Styrofoam sheet at the opening and then carefully pulled small clumps of cloth material through the slit opening. The material was compressed very hard so it was easy to keep the stuffing flat inside the leg and easy to see when I reached the 4". Another note to mention. I did not find any metal or other foreign objects mixed in the shredded material as other reviewers had found.I replaced the styrofoam piece back into the leg and folded the nylon material over carefully to make it as tight and less bulky. I temporarily held the tightened fold closed by using a piece of black Gorilla tape. I then re-measured from the top of the head to the bottom of the leg and found I needed to remove another inch of material because of the folded nylon. After removing another inch (approximately 5"of material removed), I re-taped, re-measured and found that that I had reach the desired 5'6" height that I wanted. I found it was much easier to tape up the bottom when I braced the legs up off the floor. I made sure the fold was tight and then heavily taped the bottom of the leg. After re-sizing both legs I re-weighed the dummy. It still weighed 90lbs.I again tested the dummy. What a huge difference the adjustment made. I believe the center of gravity was better for me and the balance felt better. It was still awkward at first to throw but after figuring out where to place my arms and hands, I was throwing it with power. It is still pretty stiff and I believe the legs will slowly flex more over time. Though I really don't want the legs to flex to the point that it won't stand up when I stand it up to throw. It still felt very heavy but I consider that to be an advantage considering not everyone you train with is going to be your size and weight. I'd rather get stronger to throw that weight than to get something to light.If I had to order another dummy I would order the same size and shorten it as oppose to ordering the lighter 70lb and shorter 5'4" dummy.I also used Gorilla tape and taped over all the stitching to reinforce those areas.I took it to my Krav Maga class and had my sparring partner throw it around and after figuring out where to place his arms and hands it was easier to throw around with power. We found that it was easy to armbar but not easy to to do anything with the legs if you're doing any kind of BJJ.I'll try to leave an updated review after a few weeks of training.The photos I'm attaching show the tape job and final height adjustment compared to me (5'6") and the B.O.B. at its lowest setting which is about 5'4"In order to hang this dummy. Use a safety harness and ratchet hanging strap as shown in the pics. I can practice empty hands and practice escrima stick drills and knife disarms. In order to do this. I used a box cutter to cut a slit in the seam at the top and bottom of the hand and then used a large screw driver to make the hole larger. I then pushed the escrima stick through the hand and using black duct tape I reinforced the seam so that it wouldn't widen or tear. after a few days of using both sticks and knives. The hole shows no signs of ripping and holds both in place.I also taped bungee cords to the arms in order to help keep up the arms when I stick the escrima sticks in. I connect the bungee cords at the back of the neck. The cords don't get in the way when I just practice empty hand flows.I followed a suggestion on here by a review about cutting the GI down the center of the back. I bought a size A4 GI and tried to slip it on but the arms are attached to far in front. I doubt very much an A5 but maybe would a A6 and above would fit but I wasn't going to spend $100 or more and then cut it up. I cut the GI in half and used black duct tape to secure each side onto the dummy (yes I taped over the harness because the harness does not get in the way of throwing.) I also cut the sleeves to length, maybe a little too short, so cut a little at a time. I then wrapped tape around the waist and upper chest area to make sure the GI stayed in place. I practiced several throws and it worked. The GI didn't slip off the dummy. See attached pics. I will update as time goes on.

I was skeptical about this dummy until I finally bought the bullet and got it. No dummy can truly replace a human to practice on, but I must say this helps me fill the gap in terms of training on days when I don’t have a partner. I can practice throws on it, but to my pleasant surprise it works even better as a makeshift body to practice side mount, knee on belly, and mount drills on. My reaction and speed for positional changes and submissions have increased a lot because of just drilling on this dummy daily. I only got the 75 lb because it’s dead weight and I want to work more on muscle memory for throws as opposed to actual strength. I train enough in full contact to keep my strength high enough. My recommendation is to get lighter weight if you want to work on form and muscle memory because remember, after every throw you have to pick this thing up.

I do everything martial arts with this wrestling dummy. For I stand him up against a wall in which I land punches, kicks, elbows, and knees against his body. I also slam him to the ground for wrestling purposes. And I roll around with him on the ground for grappling purposes. So this dude is good for basically practicing all or most styles of martial arts. And I almost forgot I manipulate his wrists & arms for Aikido or Aikido type of moves. But I must say his body does get some what pushed in from all the strikes, but yet he's always still able to take more physical abuse, and seems to bounce back to form.

I am 127lbs so I got a 70lb dummy. That was good enough for me. I am glad i didn't get any heavier. I almost bought the 90lb. I like practicing my double legs and fireman carries with this thing. Also get to practice ground striking. If its 2am and I feel like I need to blow off some steam i throw around this guy. It helps a lot with Judo throws because it helps me with getting my feet in the right place when I want to execute a throw. It helps me with getting used to figuring out my opponent's center of mass. I fixed so many mistakes that i've been making second nature for years. I'm like 5'3 1/2" so this thing is taller than me. Helpful because most of the people I can spar with at judo tower above me too.Great delivery! it was fast and it comes in a big box.

Stick to the 90lbs bag. If you want power development do Squats, Deadlift, and other powerlifts. For purpose of Judo/Jujitsu throws, reaps, and sweeps, this is PERFECT. Comes FILLED so if you want to be able to move this thing for general purposes, 90lbs is perfect.

This item is as described it is not a jiu jitsu dummy however if you need an excellent dummy for throws and take downs as well as hand fighting and ground and pound this item is the best bang for your buck. Today is the first time I've used full force. And let me tell you it is tough. I'm 5'10 198 pounds and I bought the 70pund dummy I'm a rather strong individual so I wish I'd gone with a heavier option but the weight of this allows me to perform techniques properly and the relatively easy reset being alone make it easier to do rep after rep. This product survived over 100 slams on its introductory outing without so much as a scuff.

Ok, first, it's made out of canvas and not out of leather. So, Watch out for rashes when grappling. But, I was aware of that.As for the product itself, I had read comments about the other weight classes available for this product and the 70pounds one seemed the right choice for me since I have to move it around and store it after use. It's great for punching, pounding and throwing around. It's well built and stitches are well made.The first reason I gave it 3*is because the legs don't bend so it makes it hard to apply techniques requiring legs, turtle position, guard position... It's also an obstacle when your storing it. The other reason for the 3* mark is because I think it should have handles or straps built in or on it to make it easier to move around, to apply techniques or help keep it in position.Other than that the product is fine and, considering that it's meant for limited upper body grappling, i would recommend it to anyone who wishes to have a non-stantard punching bag or particularly for those practicing any styles of kung-fu and don't want a wooden dummy. Not recommend for advanced grappling or grappling only.Thanks Amazon for extraordinary fast free supersaver shipping and easy going transaction.

It’s perfect it’s exactly what we needed for jujitsu. It’s good quality and hopefully it will last a couple years thanks again for having this on Amazon so we could purchase it

Good quality punching bag / grappling dummy. My only complaint would be the arms/shoulder joints could be more solid.

Doesn't stand on its own, arms get in the way of some throws. Also arms are a bit short for some arm throws. Overall super durable, great for throwing suplexes. 90 pounds is plenty heavy. I wanted the 140lbs but it wasn't in stock, good thing because throwing the 90lbs and picking it back up each time gasses me after 12 throws. Overall I'm really happy with the product.

It's a little stiff, but with consistent use, it does loosen up enough to practice submissions. Great for throws.
