SOLVED! THanks!

i never bought a dummy i just use my heavy which is 100 pounds. but my Judo school in korea had one hanging from a wall we used it to practice some of the hip and shoulder throws.

honestly i would go find the local folk wrestling club they are usually free and you always have people who want to do a little submission grappling.

also check into a judo club as well i have never ever seen a club charge more than 75 dollars a months but i see BJJ academies charging upwards to 150.

but if your going to use the dummy for takedowns i see some merit such as conditioning and muscle memory but nothing else really. nothing substitutes a real person like you stated so find a friend or something who is intrested and them you two can practice.

Muscle memory and conditioning is exactly what I need it for lol. Got to keep moving til I can get back. Those gym fees are going to paying the bills right now, I ain't exactly a pro and practicing throws and tosses with another inexperienced person can sometimes lead to injury ...This is my safest bet for now... Anyways I ordered one, came this morning, 75lbs and damn that thing is pretty damn heavy, I'm glad I didn't get the 140lbs one. It came in a body bag and the UPS guy was asking me if it's a body LMAO.

This is better than practicing with air (which does look pretty cool tho...like a kungfu form ) It's great for Clinch knees too.

what form of grappling do you study?

I'm not in a discipline or anything. I just have very limited experience in MMA while training Muay Thai a couple years ago at a school I have no idea where some of those moves are taken from honestly. Some are shuai jiao and judo throws I been told. Also wrestled in high school a bit so wanna do some Greco-roman stuff for fun since it's been a while haha....basicly I need to workout, might as well work out like this. I'd be sitting all day if I didn't do it, just wanna keep the body in the right mode for when I ever do go back. You lose everything so quickly shortly after you stop doing it. I really want to back, but time and money is an issue right now. I stopped due to a dislocated kneecap and alot of medical bills lol.

there's the ones for grappling that is like a giant torso shaped ones for 100+. those are mostly use for ground pound and ground movement training though.
