I saw this right after learning about rubber guard and got pretty stoked on the idea of being able to blast reps whenever my heart desired. I just got done building mine as done in the video only difference for me was I duck taped 6” half slices on the knee caps and they worked pretty awesome. Very impressed with the arms especially, that Pex pipe is the bees knees

Awesome! I have to say, I never use mine for rubber guard, but I'm going to try some reps. If you are a 10th Planet guy, the dummy also works for lockdown transition reps.

@johnplayerblack 3 жыл бұрын

Amazing work! This is the cleanest design I've seen so far. Im currently acquiring parts to build this. One question: since they cant be extended flat, how do the rigid arms behave for arm bars and/or transitions in top control where you want to flatten/straighten out the arms (eg transition to north-south)? Im wondering whether to leave them "boneless" to be able do these kinds of drills. Looks great for kesa gatame though!

@efficiencyjiujitsu417bjj2 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the question. The arms can be extended flat, you just have to be intentional with your movement to flatten them. The arm pins and transitions are a bit more realistic, because the arms are always trying to block your movement, and you must intentionally pin or bypass them to move from side to side. A traditional fill will also be effective for you though, so it will all work well, as long as you are using the dummy regularly.

@efficiencyjiujitsu417bjj2 4 жыл бұрын

From the bottom it works for smaller micro transition drills (gi chokes, Kimura, etc... ) but... it is not great for macro transition drills like escapes because it only weighs 40-45lbs. If I work it from the top, I can do almost all of the large movements I would do on a human partner. I did not put any stuffing in the hand, it is only pex and a pool noodle. This is different from the original dummy, and I like it better. It feels more like a wrist. Stay tuned, I am going to make a grappling dummy purely for working my bottom game. It will be different than anything you have seen.
