training dummies

[lapulid2]

i practice Hapkido, but the same should apply for any of the grappling arts. is there any training aid out there with limbs and fingers to practice counters and joint manipulation? the only thing i keep seeing is this bob character with no arms, he does me no good. thanks!

I could've sworn they made an adult sized version, i'll post here again if i can find it, I hope this works for u

(If its 2 short, try hanging it from the ceiling or wall at eye level 4 u, maybe that'll work

Whatever floats your boat, I guess. What is important with any dummy is INTENT. What are you intending when you strike/grapple/whatever a dummy? Let me take the example of wing chun. Anyone can buy or download a video/movie of the jong sequence, however, one will not know what each movement is for. As long as you are training with the dummy with an idea of what you could potentially be doing to an opponent, then the dummy is good.
