I use 3 tires mounted vertically on a 2by4 post for sword practice. It gives multiple angles to train from at many heights and cost $10 to make. You're idea is great and I'd like to try it as well. Thanks for taking the time to put this up!

@Evanmander

Awesome; I have a friend/board member who has something like that on wheels with pieces of tires; but it was a bear to cut the tires. How do you mount the tires? and do you mount them whole. If you have a video, or pic, I'd like to see it.

[whorewatch]

Excellent. You are a very fit man. That tyre dummy is the best i've seen so far. Thanks.

[shinseikenpo]

@whorewatch

Thanks, & you're welcome.  Fun to get a bit creative : )

lol

[Watchmen73]

Sifu, missing the leg there. About time you put a leg in to practice your footwork as well. Good idea, yes??

[shinseikenpo]

@Watchmen73

hah, yes sir; just need to "get a round to it" & figure out the angle I would have to put a piece of wood inside the lower tire to screw another longer dowel in : )

[Watchmen73]

@shinseikenpo Sifu, the dowel(thigh) will need to go into the tyre at 15 degrees and attach another piece as a front limb(knees to foot) at 45 degrees at the end of the dowel, maybe screws or a bent 'L' bracket to hold it in place. Hope this helps sir. Oh and use your Kali sticks to practice too on your tyre dummy.

[shinseikenpo]

@Watchmen73

Thanks. Oh, yep, have used the sticks a lot on her... even machetes a few times : )

Fun is to put the single stick on top to the opposite side of the others, and practice the open & close defense, slapping it while slicing with the machete : )

well looks like youll be prepared if he attacks with with both his arm and his 3 foot penis

[shinseikenpo]

@shield121

good grief.... lol... just an exercise apparatus.

[ninjawarrior2k]

@shinseikenpo I know right! LOL

[johnnyarplex22]

al principio pensé que era una broma ... pero me he dado cuenta que usa los movimientos correctos XD

[shinseikenpo]

@johnnyarplex22

I try : ) ...Portuguese is pretty close to Spanish, but not familiar con a palabra "broma"

[SenseiGrove]

this could toughen up your knuckles and skin pretty good! great stuff once again master!

[oneminuteworkout]

Hey mate..stick a machete in there or a real knife...this will up your awareness level and stop you from mindless going thru your drills like I see you doing. ..just a thought..I tried and it works. also..I had my tire dummy in a corner..how do you keep it stable

\

[shinseikenpo]

@oneminuteworkout

Hah, I love it... well, the tires are thrown over the real wave-master bottom which I just fill with water (could use sand). I also keep the red foam thingy in it so they can't slide around as much. ..one thing I did do was train with the machete on the tire master, positioning the single dowel up higher on one side while practicing passing it w/one hand(slapping it) while slicing at the tires with the machete. Did slice into the wood dowel once too.. oops

[blacksilkblacksilk]

Thumbs up.

That is one awesome idea. I`ve seen my share of tire dummies, but it never occured to me to stick arms in it. Obvious once you saw it. Thank you very much for posting.

I imagine the feel is very realistic. Should allow to practice trapping better then on a wooden dummy. Also no worries that rain could ruin the dummy. Just one awesome beauty - certainly in my eyes.

take care and have a nice day

[shinseikenpo]

@blacksilkblacksilk

Thanks. I've had alot of fun with it, including using it for sticks & knives (knives/machettes on the tires, not the wood, hah), plus I can change the altitude of the dowels by just switching tire locations : )

[shinseikenpo]

@blacksilkblacksilk

Thanks. The only complaint I have, is that if I don't have it covered when it rains, it tends to collect water in the tires, thus mosquitos as well, : ( - even though I drilled some holes in the tires. Oh well. Been thinking of making the arms a little heavier/thicker also.

[blacksilkblacksilk]

@shinseikenpo Thanks for the tip with the water. If I build my own I will try to come up with a fix for this problem.

take care

[shinseikenpo]

Thanks.  I'm trying to figure out where to find larger diameter wooden dowels. I may put plastic tubing over the ones I have - even spray in that hardening stuff or something to eventually make them a bit heavier & wider : )

[PikeyBlu]

@shinseikenpo try using shovel handles. interesting choice, but part of the point of using a muk jong is resistance/isometric training that and a solid muk jong is unforgiving both in teaching the movements/forms during speed drills (in that it builds muscle memory by not allowing to move where you shouldn't) and in its toughening of your limbs. I wish you luck in your journey!

[shinseikenpo]

@PikeyBlu Thanks for the tip.... hadn't thought of shovel handles. As for the real muk jong & being unforgiving & the actual movements/form training, I know - you are right. Oh well. One fun thing is being able to put the single one high & spin it around to a different side and then practice an open-close defense from the Arnis with a Bolo/machete : )

[1llife]

I like the invention on the tires not bad not bad at all!

[tenseone]

yeeeaaa ninja old mans what an awesome tire design

[shinseikenpo]

Thanks; fun stuff : )

[shinseikenpo]

lol! Michelin Fu; I like it. Yep, pretty fun. I changed the height by switching the tires around afterwards & liked it better; - one of the advantages of the tires just thrown on the wave master : ) - could have found some thicker, or heavier, dowels though...

[mofotax]

Looks like fun!

[SenseiWayne]

Michelin fu from the Meshegin province.....lol thats sweet phil.I think I will get me some tires and build one myself.

[RyzER617]

That's Great!

[mofotox]

That is not a MYJ, that's da Michelin Man.
