Great shell if you put it together right.
Overall I would say this is an excellent way to train BJJ if you design and build it right. I used 1/2” PVC pipes, heater hose and towels wrapped up. Similar to the YouTube video “supercharged grappling dummy 2.0”. It’s very helpful as far as designing. A realistic dummy. Although I didn’t use pex for the arms. Used a heater hose between them to give it flex but I don’t need both the arms moving together. The only down side I found to this dummy “shell” is the opening along the back is too small. It works but it definitely takes some finagling to get the limbs in if you’ve put them together the right way. But I’ve used it for BJJ practice and love it. Very helpful for practicing certain drills, locks. It’s all offense but hey, something is better than nothing.

FAIL - Legs don't work properly
I stuffed this with 20 lb of Poly Fill, which is an excellent, even textured material that easily conforms to the shape of the dummy. As you can see, the legs do not work at all. The dummy cannot kneel as it is supposed to, making it pretty useless for working turtle or guard. It can't stand up either (not that it's supposed to) and so you can't use it for takedowns or throws. I'm returning it and trying a different brand (jendila) instead.

Daisy the Dummy is my kids new beat friend!
This is perfect for my 5 year old! Stuffed with about 18lbs of poly fill for my 50lb daughter and she has no complaints. She is able to practice techniques at home after practice, and she has a comfy snuggle buddy for TV time. I personally do not like that the knees are always bent, and the arms come straight out of the shoulders. It makes putting a Gi on it nearly impossible. This dummy is great for ground work, but we had to buy another to practice takedowns. Overall for the price, I highly recommend it!

Great quality, well made & perfect size
The media could not be loaded. After reading reviews on other grappling dummies, I decided to purchase from this company because the price is reasonable and it looks better than others. The dummy arrived within two business days, shipped by UPS. Previously, I owned grappling dummies in canvas material too, but this one is of a far higher quality than those. This is because the material is thicker and stronger than the ones I used in the past and the stitching is far better too as whatever they did to make it “reinforced stitched” works. This dummy's design is more realistic, especially the knee curve is much better and the arms are long, this helps me practise arm bars more effectively.Sizing wise, I'm 5'8'' and the 66'' dummy size is perfect for me. It’s also the reason why I bought from this one, because they have more sizes. Every other company either has 5' or 6'.Stuffing the dummy is a boring but is worth it when you think about it as you save around $200 exchange of 3-4 hours work vs purchasing a pre stuffed model. It looks great but I’m clearly not a pro at stuffing it when comparing it to the pictures.

Great for drilling JIU-JITSU attacks! Full Guard, Mount, Etc.
I have a few things to say that are really important to consider when buying this product.1) I AM A 5'2" FEMALE AROUND 120lbs. I purchased the 60" option. This thing isn't even the biggest option, but for me is pretty large!2) I FILLED THIS THING WITH 10lbs OF Polyfill. I went off other reviews saying they used 20lbs... they must've purchased the larger size dummy. Pollyfill is working great so far. At first I tried extra, old clothing. The dummy was limp and unusable. Stuffed it tight with Polyfill and his arms actually stick up and his legs are bent nice and firm.3) THIS THING COLLECTS HAIR! If you have animals, try to keep it off the carpet/bed/couch. Only on the mat. Regardless, I think he will collect lint and hair anyway from ones clothing. I honestly don't care too much about that. But you can even see in the photos the lint on him (and this is after I lint rolled him a bunch).4) NOW TO ITS EFFECTIVENESS. I'm a beginner at Jiu-Jitsu and have only used this guy 2-3 times, but man... I was actually super happy to be able to drill the techniques respectively that I watched on YouTube. My routine is to watch a YouTube video, write down notes and steps, then drill it on the dummy multiple times. Listen, write and then physically do!BECAUSE OF HIS BENT LEGS... I was able to put this dummy in my full guard and could practice armbars, triangle chokes, omoplatas, sweeps, etc. You can also mount this guy and practice attacks from there! I also took joy in just punching his face a bunch, lol.Majority of the practice you get from this partner will be attacks. You can't really practice defense much against an unresisting partner. But man! I think it's really great for practicing and memorizing the steps for a variety of different attacks... which you can then take to the mat to practice against a real opponent.Definitely a good buy for brand new beginner at Jiu-Jitsu. For me, at least. Who knows how I'll hold up against real people, but this guy is great for going through the steps at your own pace.I can't say how durable this guy is because I've had him for less than a week. If anything happens with the stitching or fabric, I'll update my review! :)

So far so good
So far I am very happy with the value of my purchase. It was delivered on time. It seems very well constructed. i stuffed it with 10lbs polyfil and some towels in the torso for more weight. I think I could fill out the neck better. Bewar to wear gloves when stuffing because chaffing will oçcur.Seems durable, but it has only been a week.

Durable, good size
The material is very heavy and it seems like it will hold up well. The description says it comes with sandbags, but the little bags that came with it were not what I was expecting and we didn't end up using them. They are nylon with zippers, and there is one larger square one and two little ruler-shaped ones. Maybe they have some other use that I don't know about, but I just ignored them. I stuffed the dummy with old clothes and it ended up about 35 pounds. We figured that was plenty without worrying about sandbags. I would not say it is easy to stuff, but it's not too bad. It will be fairly simple to get in there and change something if we feel the need. Beware of leaving it lying around; it is disconcerting to see a "body" laying there when you don't expect it. We haven't used it for too many drills yet, but it seems like a good buy overall.

Great for adults and kids
Me and my daughter use "Henry" the dummy to practice our bjj. Haven't had it long enough to comment on durability but it looks ok for the money. It's not in readable but if you are sensible it shoul hold up.Used old clothes towels and a pool noodle for the arms. Nice and heavy and reasonably sturdy.

Great value.
Pretty easy to fill with old clothes, weights about 25kg after filling. Seems durable. Great value.
