Very cool to see you do it step by step, even with the time lapse. Even better to see you use it so thoroughly. No fear of causing injury, yet you still get a feel for your training partner. keep up the good work.
Thanks Eli! I'm hoping that it can prove helpful to those trying to get those reps in during the Quarantine. Feel free to share it with your groups to help spread the know-how.
I'm glad that it helped! Mine is still holding up extremely well and I just keep finding new ways to use it in supplementing my solo training. Please Subscribe if you haven't already 👍
Personally I feel that the weight was fine so you could focus on technique instead of holding dead weight. I've worked with heavier dummies before and it is a bit of a tradeoff. However, if conditioning is the focus there are several methods to add some additional weight. You just have to be mindful so you don't risk getting hurt by what you put inside it.
i was thinking about doing something similar with broom sticks... my design would have joints that only move in one direction, because the limbs have one part with 2 sticks and one part with one,and the one with 2sticks would have a small block that would prevent the joint from gooing through... never got the materials to work on it, but maybe you can get them...
I've thought about that as well and have a few ideas that I could implement to limit the joints, but this was definitely the quicker cheaper method for what I needed and has provided well over a year and half of great training.
I strongly suggest using rope and a makeshift harness to stand it up. Throwing Dummies have to be balanced to stand up by the user generally, but their limbs have no movement. Grappling dummies have the limbs for proper locking and transitions. So far I suspend it for throw training and I lay it down and put it in different guards for groundfighting.
Would you say it's very helpful? I'm hesitant to buy one, my objective is to be able to rehearse the techniques at home, slowly, to really understand what I'm doing, since on the mat I rarely have the time to take time. Do you think it could help me do that?
@@Nykoooo1 Absolutely. It is great for taking your time without having to be self-conscious of wasting another training partner's time while you want to dissect a technique and get as many reps in as you want. As you can guess, it won't replace training with another person but it can prove to be quite useful as a training supplement. I have used mine plenty times of when a training partner may not have been available and for when I want to drill certain moves relentlessly. However, if you get one my strongest suggestion is to schedule a block of time that you regularly use it at home and stick to it.

Thqts really cool how u used the rope and the pool noodles. Very clever.
Awesome stuff, man! Truly.

Brother that's an awesome hack for the dummy. Shout out to MD big homie!
thank you! Just saved me a a couple hundred :) best at home tutorial hands down

awesome video! I had basically the same idea I have been thinking about. I want to make it this weekend
Be sure to send me pics of the progress!
this is pretty good, maybe filling it with some sand as well could give it some extra weight and density

Smart
I just made this. Thx bro for the tutorial
Glad that it could helpful 🤘🏼

awesome work! you seem as a bjj geek❤️
Very nice!
Very good idea!
I always wanted to be a ninja that why I need this dummy
Can you replace the rope for a thin steel wire? That way it can stand up easily

What is the size of the dummy?
I believe it's a little over 5 feet 6 inches when I hold it up.
Awesome!!
How much it weighs?
I am a judoka i need it to stand up it just falls down
It w weighs about 20 lbs or so, but I make my stand up by using a makeshift harness when I need it to.
@@WhatWouldNinjasDo thank you for your reply .
Nice chanel
Damn you a genius
How long have you actually been using this particular dummy in your training?
Almost 2 years now

@@WhatWouldNinjasDo Thank you very much for your answer !^^
I would have to be an engineer to do this
Lol, just a bit of elbow grease, pool noodles, rope, and pvc
I feel like I’ve seen this video before in a previous life...
Deja vu, either that or you projected yourself into my dummy at some point lol
You look like dillon danis man
🥋🥋🥋🥋
Thanks for the support!
