This is a waste of time and money. Poor quality and ridiculously overpriced.

Received item as described until I started filling it, only to find right foot was sown on back to front. Had to unpick and resow the correct way. Very annoying. Poor QC.

I'm frankly surprised that some of the reviews for this grappling dummy claim that it's well-made and/or durable. It is neither. Case in point, within the first week of my purchase the left arm ripped almost completely off. And no, I wasn't smashing it around or trying to rip the thing's arm off, I was simply focusing on technique without using force. This dummy is supposed to be constructed of canvas, but if this is canvas, it's the flimsiest canvas I've ever encountered. It's thin, thinner even than denim, and tears pretty much like paper. This in a supposed grappling dummy? I'm extremely disappointed, and after spending hours filling the thing, I'm not about to unpack it, ship it back, and then throw away another 3-4 hours of my life filling the replacement, which will in all likelihood fall apart withing the first week. Buyer beware: If you want a solid, durable grappling dummy, look elsewhere.

I like the material, definitely need some effort to fill it but it worth every hard work. Excellent addition in my practice gear.

Great training buddy for muscle memory of BJJ techniques. I initially bought and returned a 70# dummy. It was too heavy and not flexible at all. The grappling dummy is perfect. I spent about $50 ay Hobby Lobby on stuffing. Some advice on stuffing: get small pillow shaped stuffing for the head , hands and feet. Get the cylinder shaped stuffing for the arms and legs ( cut it into quarter strips). Again, I use it for muscle memory of techniques.

Overall it seems quite nice. It was really easy to stuff and the shape holds up really well. I just took old clothes, cut them into tiny little pieces and filled it super tight. I saw some people saying that the shape didn't hold up, but I'm pretty sure that must be because they didn't fill the nooks and crannys with stuffing. If you don't cut up the clothing first, it leaves odd little gaps and the shape is weird, so if you can I'd cut up the clothes first, it takes a lot longer (took me about 2 hours) but I mean, you only have to do it once. It's well stitched and seems to be made pretty well, and the legs, head and torso are all pretty realistic feeling. It sits surprisingly nicely in your guard, very similar to a real partner might. I've been doing a lot of basic guard stuff and it's been pretty cool, not much different than a willing partner when it comes to guard stuff, it's probably the most useful for guard, side control and back mount drills based on the feeling of it, whereas stuff like passing and bottom half guard sweeps just feel weird on it; it's super unrealistic passing lifeless legs that fall to the floor automatically, or under hooking up from half guard on this thing. But I digress, just wanted to point out what drills are practical before you buy this thing.Unfortunately, the arms are SUPER small. They're about half the size of regular arms. I don't know if it's really a huge deal, but when you rep triangles or armbars and then go train with real people, you might be in for a surprise when their arms are twice as long as your 100 reps got you accustomed to. They're shaped well, there's a nice bend to them for Kimuras and Americanas, and it's been quite fun drilling Kimura trap ideas with it, however I just feel that the size is going to be disadvantageous when it comes to live training, and it would have been so easy to make the arms a bit longer. Incidentally, the legs are enormous on my 70 inch model, so it's like a training partner with Artem Lobov arms and Stephan Struve legs. I don't think the long legs matter, if anything they're nice to work leg positions on because they're so clear about the knee line and the foot feels fairly realistic if you want to drill heelhooks with it.Overall, this is a nice addition to have around the house if you're like me and love BJJ, catch all the fights and wish you could be at the gym more, but have kids and obligations that keep you from going as much as you'd like. Only downside is the small arms, if you can work around that, this is a solid purchase.

At first glance, after I had opened the box, I was concerned with how small it looked. I am 6'1" so I need something with some sort of size to efficiently train techniques on. After filling the dummy up, it grew much bigger than I expected it would, and my complaints went away. The only I wish could be different is the length of the arms, they are a little short but I can manage so it's nothing to really cry about. The material is tough which is great because I dont want to roll with something I feel could tear easily.Stuffing it was quite easy, quick, and fun. I enjoyed watching this unfilled dummy come to life. I used a styrofoam mannequins face for the head, then stuffed polyfil around it, so it's more packed. The only issue was, I had to manually cut open a slit, that was big enough to fit the face in. I like the idea of the mannequin face because, it gives me a neck to choke. I also cut up styrofoam circles into blocks and used those as the hands. I used pool noodles for the legs, stuffed polyfil around them, then stuffed the rest of the dummy with the leftover polyfil. It only took me an hour to completely finish stuffing it.All in all, hes a great guy to practice submissions and clean up my training, for when I go to roll live. You also can do some light ground and pound with it aswell. I wouldnt go as far as using it for any kind of throws or takedowns, not that this dummy would be great for those things anyways.Also another thing I love about this guy is he's great for setting up pranks. I scared mom, dad, and sisters easily with him by just putting my clown mask over his face. Its funny to just set him in a inconspicuous corner, and watch as they unknowingly walk by, then piss their pants as they notice him.

Size, dimensions as described and pictured. Quality of stitching and also material light, not design for any significant strain, physical stress. Stitching ripped in two places during packing with soft small foam pieces. Needed Gorilla tape enforcement in multiple places. Do not expect this Grappling Dummy to last long.

I stuffed it with my old aikido gi's. Good for practicing some of my basics while watching mind-numbing tv. When I have nothing to do on a Sunday afternoon I run through some drills. It's good enough for my needs.

Product was as advertised, but we expected it to come pre-filled, instead it came wrapped in tape to be as small as possible so the tape actually damaged some of the material. Would not recommend; best to go to a store and pick it out.

Magnifico muñeco para el entrenamiento individual de técnica en el suelo para deportes de contacto ( grappling , jiu jitsu, judo, mma, etc)Mi valoración tiene en cuenta también , la facilidad para rellenar este muñeco ( la cremallera de la espalda facilita el relleno de las dos mitades fácilmente, particularmente recomiendo comenzar por la parte de las piernas) , la resistencia del material ( todo el muñeco tiene la tela de una calidad bastante buena y que parece duradera, no como otro que había conseguido en EEUU por el doble de precio que tenia zonas de otro material diferente que se rompieron con poco uso) , y la relación calidad precio (creo que difícilmente mejorable, digo esto, porque el muñeco anterior me costó mas del doble del precio de este).La única pega que le pongo es que los brazos son un poco cortos, sin embargo no impide poder entrenar kimuras y ambar.Respecto a rapidez y seriedad en el envío y entrega , mi valoración es EXCELENTE ( como normalmente sucede con Amazon ).
