Bubba Dummy

[Qui Gon Tzu]

Has anyone had the opportunity to use a “Bubba Dummy”?

If so, was it an effective tool for Judo Throws as well as Grappling?

[lapulid2]

exactly what i was hoping for...maybe not price wise. this is bubba http://www.bubbadummy.com/

Perhaps the company has a trial period?

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.

Yeah, I pretty much don't endorse this thing in any way.

Here's a martial (partial?) artist's review on the bubba dummy:

Here's a decent site on how to make a good dummy:

This 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.

A thousand thank you's Enviroman.

Just the type of information that I have been looking for.
