Go to a junkyard and make one for free :D .$3,300 for a bunch of pipes? Either this guy is crazy to buy it and the one who sold it to him is the best tradesman ever,or you are not the sharpest knife in the the drawer.As for the dummy it is damn noisy I'm pretty sure this form is trained only by deaf people (no offence to people with hearing problems).Traditional wood Mook Jong is so much better than this...thing.

@InsaneAbilities Wood breaks faster than you think. Sorry about your ears. From now on, anybody leaving crap comments are getting removed unless they too have videos of themselves.

you have to spend a lot of money for makeone of this :?

from italy

[kaptainagent]

He Spent $60,000 New Taiwan dollars ten years ago to have it built in Taipei. Nowadays, it would probably cost around NT$100,000. That's roughly US$3,300. Probably more in Italy but not sure.

@theawakener7 Chinky? You are entitled to your opinions, friend, but don't you think that was more than a little bit uncalled for? Don't you practice JKD or something? Sobriety, brother. Look into it.

[01sidiropoulos]

Not that I know Bruce Lee, but from his books I have interpreted his philosophy to use anything and everything to advance your training. That which works, use it and make it your own. That which is impractical is discarded. As for insults; No man is without them...and not suffered for them. Be formless and fill the cup. If you know the rest......Be water my friend.

I just started working on the iron dummy in my style. It hurts.

[Clown7916]

@ossian1977 I agree, that doesn't seem like a very complicated solution, and you'd get the same level of conditioning but with less than half of the noise.

[dtma24]

@theawakener7 Foolish people such as yourself exist to serve an example I suppose.

[ossian1977]

Iron has it s merits over wood in terms of conditioning, which is key, no doubt about that. Still, the noise can be a bit upsetting. Regardless of cost, I think this dummy has a few design flaws. I would have built it with the same shape and form, but in wood, only "bandaging" or "wrapping" the logs and rods in metal. It is something that any blacksmith can do for you, at relatively low cost. I mean, you spent already a small fortune on this (3300 $)!!!

[negligent666]

Wow some of the people commenting are straight up retarded. First off, a wing chun dummy isn't just for close quarter training, one of it's main purposes is to toughen up the arms so that you can break your opponents bones with a block when he strikes, it's the whole principle behind "iron body" training. Secondly, those who say chi is fake are clueless, I've been put down with a light forearm slap from chi, no force used at all yet it was like getting pulled down by 300lbs.

Some people make negative comments out of pure ignorance and stupidity. They have no clue about what they are watching when it is actually a much more advanced skill set is being presented. But there is no need to argue with these internet warriors and online gurus, they are just pathetic.
