Qui Gon Tzu Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Has anyone had the opportunity to use a “Bubba Dummy”?If so, was it an effective tool for Judo Throws as well as Grappling? “Evil cannot be conquered in the world, it can only be resisted within one’s self.” – Master PoMy Cup is Empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qui Gon Tzu Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 Perhaps the company has a trial period? “Evil cannot be conquered in the world, it can only be resisted within one’s self.” – Master PoMy Cup is Empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enviroman Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 It's fairly expensive...roughly $560 (incl. shipping). People make their own but you need access to a shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qui Gon Tzu Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 It's fairly expensive...roughly $560 (incl. shipping). People make their own but you need access to a shop.Yes, this I know. The question is, is it effective?Can it be used effectively for Judo throws as well as grappling?One cannot use the descriptions by the company alone as they are trying to sell a product.I am looking for actual testimony by a martial artist and not a salesperson.Incidentally I am not implying that you are a salesperson. “Evil cannot be conquered in the world, it can only be resisted within one’s self.” – Master PoMy Cup is Empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enviroman Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Yeah, I pretty much don't endorse this thing in any way.Here's a martial (partial?) artist's review on the bubba dummy:http://www.whitebelt.org/bubba_dummy1.htmlHere's a decent site on how to make a good dummy:http://www.geocities.com/fightraining/grappled2.htmlThis site gives pretty good instructions on how to make a quality dummy that can be thrown and whatnot. It uses pretty expensive building equipment but it'll cost you way less than the bubba dummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qui Gon Tzu Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 A thousand thank you's Enviroman. Just the type of information that I have been looking for. “Evil cannot be conquered in the world, it can only be resisted within one’s self.” – Master PoMy Cup is Empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
