grappling dummy

Here's me demonstrating some submission techniques with a grappling dummy I made.

It's a PVC skeleton with steel hinges and wire sinews for joints, sewn inside of a vinyl body-shaped heavy bag and stuffed with about 80 lbs of rags, matting and foam. And it's wearing a gi.

I'm working on a new prototype with spring loaded joints that will maintain posture, hold guard, keep it's arms in the T-rex position, and offer some resistance.

Why is a mounted triangle useless? I've submitted people on a couple of occasions with the mounted triangle. Even if you don't sub them with it, if you lock it down and you can't finish them from mount, you can roll onto your back and finish it the traditional way.

A mounted triangle is also an ideal beatdown position. It trumps mount for striking big time.

Why would you do ANY subs from the mount?? If you got a mount use it to rain down punches

[balletman]

Also, people who consistently train mount escapes make it very difficult to simply rain down punches.

Mounting an effective ground and pound assault on a good grappler is about as hard as staying on an angry rodeo bull. Both require a lot of live practice.

what exactly is this supposed to help with.

[balletman]

Lots of things: A dummy is available to train with 24/7. It never gets tired. it never gets injured. You can get thousands of technique reps at your convenience. It's one of the best ways to develop your muscle memory for submission grappling.

The dummy can also be a valuable teaching tool, giving your students a 3rd person perspective on how a technique works.

The black guy is useless.

@Mortido i think he was talking about triangling his legs, whilst in the gogplata

[darktard]

@balletman Nice explanation of its uses.

[sinatrafan1987]

Cool vid bro..especially the music..I made a dummy last night! Lookin forward to roughin him up

[AAAhmed46]

HOW did you make the thing? 

[ohyeee22]

@takedown998 maybe he doesnt train mma and is just a jiu jitsu trainee? hmmm yeah not everyone trains mma smart one

[KingJoeyMurray]

@takedown998 using only GnP from mount can really limit your options. It's nice to be proficient at throwing out a few subs from mount (preferably in a chain). Not to mention, some people train mainly for grappling tournaments, so strikes become useless at that point.

Ok, I get it, you like armbars!

Ramsey is the dummy he sucks a 12year old can kick his ass

[uknowuhateme]

i would much rather use a submission than strikes if i had top position. You open up windows to escape if u start punching. It only takes one submission move and the fights over, but a guy may be able to take the strikes.
