Celebrita MMA Judo Punching Bag Grappling Dummy - Sitting Position hands front

Hi All,When I purchased this Dummy I think there was only one review which help not one bit. Fortunately people like myself have now bought and written reviews (on Amazon.com) so I hope my review plus the others will help you decide whether or not to part with what I imagine is a lot of money to most!So I plunged for the 180cm (largest) kneeling leather black and red dummy - see photo!It came folded and wrapped in plastic which I guess was sufficient, mine had a slight wear/rub mark but nothing major or I'd have sent it back.I'm still not sure whether I made a mistake of filling this dummy with around 50 - 60kg of rubber granulates used for punch bags, the pros are its is so easy to pour the rubber into all the hard to reach places however unlike the rags the granulates tend to migrate mostly to the legs. To reduce this loss I've now placed rags at the joints of the legs arms and head (do this as you fill to save time and effort later). The cons of using the granulates is the shear weight of the dummy, I have to say I want it heavy as I'm pretty big myself so for me it replicates training big guys quite well, however if you want to utilise the dummy purely as a technical training device stick to rags so you can practice your moves without succumbing to fatigue.I'm also not sure if leather is the way to go, I'd like to know how wearing the canvas dummies are.All in all I'm happy with the dummy, there is a slight tear on the inside of its right knee already (after a few sessions, see photo) and I'm not sure wether this is a result of use or the weight. Incidentally I just roll with it, no hitting, and I roll on mats and not hard floor!

Its actually really well made but, i must warn you, it does not come stuffed, you have to fill it yourself, and, at first glance you might not appreciate that it scomes in such a tiny package, I bought the biggest one (70KG for Jujutsu training) its made of extremely durable material, it sook me a few days to fill it as I had to go through all my old cupboards and find old clothes and towels and things to stuff it with, once its stuffed and you put an old GI top on it, it looks an feels the business. obviously its a dummy so doesnt fight back but allows you to practice different transitions and it excellent for solo training when you just wished you had a partner to roll with or do basic repetitive drills. My min aim was to practice the triangle at home but i can see it will be good for practicing other techniques for BJJ or JJJ (Japanese JuJutsu).Remenber:- It doesnt come stuffed- You will need to put and old GI on it to get the most out of training the grips etc.

This is a decent dummy for the money. Make sure to use light fluffy stuffing like that for stuffed toys. Anything heavy will lead to stressing out the stitching prematurely. Im happy with this dummy and would buy another one.

One foot sewing scratches (see pictures). And i spotted another fragile place.Filling the dummy is easy until you reach the back.Not finished yet but looks good for my body movement and drilling needs.

On the one hand it was easy enough to fill out with old clothes and does work ok for some basic drills. But the quality is very bad, the stitching started to unravel on the first day and now after a few days occasional use there are several splits. In addition, the seller made a mistake with the shipping address so that the DHL shipment addess was initially wrong and had to be corrected and would have been sent to the wrong country if I had not noticed and called DHL.

I like the material, definitely need some effort to fill it but it worth every hard work. Excellent addition in my practice gear.

After waiting a long time for delivery and many phone calls the item was what I expected.

It looks very natural and flexible very easy to use for my routines, the material is as good as promised.
