I have done a search on this, but most of the threads are a couple of years old and frankly I didn't really find much useful information on them.
In any case, does anybody here have much experience with them? Specifically Judo players? I've been thinking of getting one to use for uchi-komi/nage-komi drills when I don't have a partner, and maybe utilize it for conditioning purposes as well (running lifts, squats etc). Hell I could use it for GnP practice as well I suppose, although a heavy bag lying flat on the mat works just as well.
Here's a link at the ones I'm looking at: Legend Grappling Dummies
There's a solid based one more suited for throwing, and a legged one as well. I think I'd prefer the legged one, as it probably gives you more options in regard to training exercises etc...although I'm also wondering if the legged dummy will be difficult to "throw" if they can't stand up by themselves. They are rather expensive as well, but if they're highly beneficial I don't mind paying for it. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
