Ok. I'm thinking I want to purchase a grappling dummy. I can only make it to the acedemy a couple times a week, and want to train when I'm not there. I attempted to make one with poor results, so now I'm thinking of breaking down and buying one. I have like 4 choices.
Big Blue 640.00 www.trainingdummies.com
Grappling Man 395.00 www.iisports.com/product.asp?dept_id=2701&pf_id=PM1002A
Grapple Man 595.00 www.dummiesunlimited.com/grappleman.htm
Bubba 499.00 www.bubbadummy.com/index.htm
The Grappling Man from I&I seems the most reasonably priced, but may not be available. Big Blue seems liek it could be a could choice because I can use it for throwing and striking as well, but hear its not the best for subs. But the Grapple Man seems the most advanced with articulating joints, etc. Then theres the Bubba dummy (which I guess I&I will have later in the year). Any input (good or bad) about any of these dummys would be greatly appreciated. The main thing I want to use it for is practicing subs, etc. Secondly, I want to practice positioning with it. I have a heavy bag I could use for G&P or even throwing to a small degree.
