Disproportionate anatomy
I really want to like this grappling dummy especially because of how much time I put into stuffing it but once you start drilling with it you immediately realize how short the abdomen section is in comparison to the extremities. It's really awkward and unnatural to try and get into top mount.

Easy to stuff & Sturdy
Just finished stuffing my Jiu Jitsu dummy. I purchased 25lbs of fiberfill. I probably used about 16 lbs. it took about 4 hours to fill. I used BBQ tongs to stuff where feet and fingers would be, first. I REALLY packed it in. It took about 2 hours alone just to pack the lower legs and arms. After that, it went really fast. The material holds VERY well. No ripped seems. I can’t wait to use it.

Feels great, needs a lot of filling
The material is super stiff and feels durable, so you can totally get away with not putting a lot of stuffing if you're okay with a limp dummy for certain drills/movements. I added two pairs of jeans and 3 long sleeve shirts (inside) for weight and rigidity plus 32oz of polyfil and it's what I would say that's the minimum threshold to make it hold some shape but it def smushes flat with any pressure. However, to make it look like the pictures you'd probably need 10lbs (160oz) or so which definitely adds a decent amount of cost.

Awesome Dummy!!!
I did a lot of research on training dummies before I bought this one. I was able to stuff this dummy with20 lbs. of Ply-fil, and I could not be happier with it, it's just awesome!!! Be sure not to stuff the dummy while pulling hard on the zipper area. This can cause one of the zippers to break, but there are 2 zippers and a velcro closure for extra piece of mind. Happy training!

Great quality, small torso and legs
This is great for drilling a number arm attacks, neck attacks, guard entries, and sweep but I will say the legs are very short for any leg locks. I'm 6' tall and any leg drills aren't realistic but everything else is great. I do recommend stuffing it with old clothes instead of polyfill; this will make the dummy more dense instead of spongey.

Pretty friggin sweet
fill it with clothes from your wife's closet that she never wears. throw on a gi (A3 was a bit too small in the arms but seemed fine everywhere else. and you're off to the races. add googly eyes for added effect or add the face of that blue belt that hurts your feelings every time you roll.Seems pretty high quality but time will tell. I think with a gi on, this will last a lot longer than if it didn't have one but up to you really.

Good For the Money
This product is shipped directly from Pakistan to the US. Shipping times were relatively quick considering that it isn’t coming from a US warehouse. Once I found enough material to stuff it the process wasn’t too bad. I used polyfill and cut clothing as the filler. I used the method of stuffing in Effective Martial Arts YouTube video and it came out great. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is due to the size of the arms. They don’t taper to actual wrists and are just tubes. But the positioning of the dummy is great for practicing passing open guards and submissions.

This is going to be awesome 😎
Looked up how to give your dummy more structure using a pool noodle skeleton. Used memory foam to stuff the body around the skeleton. The end result is a dummy that feels anatomically accurate and holds its form while still allowing plenty of flexibility. Material seems to be solid with good stitching. I did a few chokes, arm submissions, and leg submissions and it held up nicely. Will update review if i have any issues within an unreasonable amount of time. If you’re going to make the investment, do it right. I’d say this is as nice of a training dummy as I could have asked for.

Solid drilling dummy
Well constructed grappling tool designed for hard use.**Two 6.5 lb (13 lbs in all) boxes of Fairfield polyfill will fill it up completely and firmly enough for drilling. Takes about 45 mins to stuff it. I ran a pool noodle up through the spine and head to make it more rigid.
