How useful is Your Grappling Dummy?

[elina jhon]

It is virtually impossible to have a sparring partner at all times, for that reason we have grappling dummies that are used to mimic human body mass and weight.

There are some moves or techniques that you cannot practice with a dummy, but still it can be extremely useful with tons of other grappling exercises. The best part is you can now perform your training anywhere and at any time, whether it be your home, office or any other place.

If you are too busy to go to the gym or bad weather is restricting your movement, just hang out at your home and bust your guts out on the dummy.

What to Work on?

With training dummy at your disposal, you can work on almost anything related to ground work. This may include your ground and pound technique, Thai clinch, heel hooks, or arm bars etc. You can either work on any one aspect of your game at a time or focus on the overall game. Now it’s up to you whatever you want to achieve, sky is the limit!

Pushing Your Limits

When you are up against the training dummy it helps you face your biggest challenge - YOURSELF! It allows you to blow off some steam in a positive manner. Another advantage of training dummy is that you learn to push yourself to the extreme, you cannot achieve that with a grappling partner, where there are lots of injury risks involved at each step.

The more time you spend with the dummy, better you get into pushing forward your limits. There is no visible downside to using a training dummy, except that a dummy cannot replicate human emotions and pain.

Finally

Make sure you pick the right dummy that is close to a live person. It should be able to hold on to different positions without outside interference. If a dummy is able to achieve all that, CONGRATULATIONS you have got a perfect grappling partner. With it on your side you can become the submission master in no time!

Come on now where did you paste that from?

No one can possibly become a grappling master with a DUMMY ,no one can become anything without real life person unless you have a year 2502 cyborg human replicant as a grappling guy myself i know this! IM sure they have its purpose but .......

Ihave my own synthetic grappling dummy ,we call him Grand Pa , i mainly use him for leg locks bc hes losing his base in the lower back area and he has a slight cut above his eye brow which could further rip which could open open up more ,come to think of it i think i'll just put him back in his pirate suit or suit and just have him sit with the family at dinner ,movies ,car rides etc etc like a normal stuffed Grand Pa and call him retired !
