I ran 10 takedowns on this thing and the deadweight was way more then my body was capable of maneuvering. My ankle and heel have been injured for about 6 months. If you’re considering getting this thing, be very very careful of handling the deadweight if you’re not experienced.
Damnnnn, son!! I grew up taking traditional Japanese mma. I quit it five years in and still trained here ad there. But it's been years since I've sparred or even grappled. And I've got to tell you, whatever you don't use, you lose. Anyway, me being high as f at 3 am and stumbling towards this has got to be the best find in a while. I'm halfway through the video, great so far. Thanks brotha
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Yes, martial arts, whatever it is, is a perishable skillset. That means exactly what you said, if you don't practice your skill will perish.
Well I was going to get a maxxmma heavy bag for throws/takedowns and ground and pound, but it seems like this is going to be the most versatile item I can buy. Great review and awesome video.
Yes brother I love this dummy, I cal him “uke”. I got some other videos on my channel utilizing the dummy in this video. Feel free to browse through in order to get an idea of the range of training feasible with this grappling dummy
@@SENSEIJASON definitely gonna check out your other videos. After watching this one I automatically subscribed and I’m looking forward to checking it all out.
Man ! I'm ordering one of these . Im going khabib/ jon jones style ground n pound I'm going to have fun . Nice explaination and representation man ! 💪👍 Thanks Jason Leung .
That's awesome, I prefer to use my dummy without any gripping material for NO GI and MMA, or with the gi, I can put a gi on it but it has to be backwards, If i put it on the correct way, the arms cannot fit all the way around.
Hey man, great video I really liked it. I have a question I’m a practitioner in Japanese jujitsu which does throws and joint locks so will this stand so I can throw it or will it not stand up ?
you said this one is the best one available, but shipping it to Australia from their website is about $1200-$1300 for me. The Suples wrestling dummy is about $1100 for me to ship to Australia, so I'm considering that one. The suples version appears to be better, but I have never even touched either of them. What do you think Jason?
Ten Thousand Method ua-cam.com/video/-sE9YnYyw60/v-deo.html This was at the Muay Thai BJJ academy I was training at for a while. They had this dummy and I believe it was Suples. Definitely a lot lighter than mine, but I’m sure they come in different sizes. I’d recommend getting a dummy equivalent or a bit taller. Just because when you compete that is usually the size of opponent. And it does not really do the body justice by practicing to face a smaller opponent. The build feels very similar to my grappling dummy in terms of the structure itself. But the actual material feels very different. My dummy is vinyl, while the one at this gym felt more smooth and leathery. Sometimes the vinyl can be sticky and rubbery feeling to the skin, which is why I always where a rash guard or at times put a Gi over mine. Both may turn out very good. Perhaps do a little more digging to see what the suples dummy is made out of. And that will help you decide. But the only dummy I can really attest to is the century one. Let me know if you need more info/advice kai!
@@TenThousandMethod yeah I was thinking of buying century but suples convinced me that it’s better because it was literally designed for grappling and the USA wrestling team uses it especially how much it weighs it’s 88lb (90lb basically) & 2 inch taller than the century.
Got me the 140lbs combat sport one for 50$ hell of a deal, however it's so damn heavy lol, what throws would you recommend for a heavy dummy so I don't injure myself.
Well I’d recommend safety first as in make sure you are physically capable of handling that dummy and you’re in a conducive environment to practice with it. Since it sounds like a real heavyweight, I’d recommend not throwing it at all until you are comfortable picking it up to have it stand upright for a few reps, and once it’s upright you should then learn how to get basic grips. Not sure if you will be putting a Gi on it, but if you do you can practice uchi Komi to some basic throws like ogoshi or ippon seoi nage. And then I’d practice that every 2-3 times a week, definitely not everyday as your body will need to adjust and recover. Once you can comfortably pick up your dummy and have good control over keeping it upright you can use this video for some inspiration or ideas: ua-cam.com/video/cqqA7eJTgBg/v-deo.html Feel free to reach out and let me know how it goes. Thought it may feel very heavy now, even for me the 90lb dummy was extremely awkward and heavy when I first got it (I weigh 140lb). But over time I got used to handling it and my body adapted to grow stronger and smarter with my technique. Go easy and over time you will see massive gains. -Jason
@@SENSEIJASON amazing advice! , I'll keep in mind your "mma training with grappling dummy video" as reference. And yeah today I used it and my legs feel like it was leg day at the gym 😂 so definitely not an everyday use dummy lol. Thank you ! 🤙💪
In time your dummy is going to make you a certified boss, and an absolute force when it comes to your standup grappling, even too pressure for BJJ and basic MMA Ground striking. You can even prop up your dummy against a sturdy surface and use it as a punching/kicking bag. Happy training my friend! -Jason
@@SENSEIJASONthanks for the inspiration! Can if be stuffed with sandbags on the bottom in order to stand alone? Do you have any tips what I can fill the bag with?
I’m not sure if sand bags would help it stand on its own, best bet is to place it against a strong wall or beam. But sometimes you are able to just balance it just right to make it stand for a few seconds on its own. Also, my dummy came filled already, but the general consensus is that everyone fills the dummy with ripped/shredded rags, cloth, or clothing, but the key is to tightly compact it. I think sand will make the dummy extremely heavy in my opinion. Jason
Hey brotha, my dummy already came filled. Must have been a real pain for the delivery driver and shipping it haha. I've hear for dummies unfilled you're supposed to stuff it with torn/shredded rags or old clothing.
If you are experienced on grappling you can size up. If you are completely new 90lbs may be the best. I believe 90 lbs is the best in terms of convenience and the workout it provides.
@@ozzybeato I would use the 90Ib I got that one and I'm grateful! it's dead weight as well and if you get the 120Ib you will have a difficult time throwing it.
I don’t think filling it with sand would be a good idea, that’s a lot of deadweight. My dummy came pre filled already when it shipped. And usually they use rags or cloth to stuff dummies. Well dummies usually come in 70, 90, 120 pounds
I personally would not, especially if you plan on practicing throws or takedowns on your dummy. The best place would be a flat surface on "ground" level. They have other dummies on amazon that are specifically BJJ oriented, so if you just plan on working submissions and ground work I'm sure the floor would hold up, but for slams, throws, or takedowns ~ with my specific type of dummy I would not do it. Please reach out if you have any further questions or concerns! -Jason
I can tell it is quite locked and remain still in a standing position almost by itselg, right? 90 lbs of pure dead weight is not very heavy to manage it?
I mean it really depends on the individual, 90 pounds is 65% of my body weight already I way around 140lbs. And I’ve had friends who are 165-200 try to testy grappling dummy the first time and they were losing balance and it was falling all over the place. So perhaps it’s a combination of your own physical specs and how well you are able to learn how to handle the dummy. Because in general if you are not supporting it in some way it will always fall over. So just awareness is perhaps the most important factor in handling the dummy, as well as a general level of physical conditioning.
Im 5'8" and 145lb do you still think I should get the 90lb or go for the 120lb? Im looking to polish my takedowns for bjj. Into submissions. Im just afraid that getting the 90lb wont feel right for throwing my weight class
Hey brother, when I bought mine it was wrapped heavily in a protective wrap. However I did not notice any plastic smell. I’ve had some heavy bags come in smelling like plastic before. I would suggest airing it out perhaps in the sun, you can even give it a quick wipe down with some wet wipes. Let me know how it goes. And I will say it is not uncommon for new products to smell upon arrival. Hope it goes away soon! -Jason
I will measure them and get back to you with exact measurements, but if you’re asking me, I’d tell you they’ve never really been a problem. They get the job done for me. They don’t however have an elbow joint which may make the arm seem shorter than a regular humans. Give me some time and I’ll get back with those measurements once I have some free time.
Hey my friend, i just measured the arms, from the outside stitching of the arm from the stress point (where arm attaches to body) it measures roughly around 21-23 inches.
@@SENSEIJASON Cool, thx for that! That's not too bad, that's basically like a normal arm minus the hand, which is about where we're grabbing to finish the armbar anyways, so I see why you say it hasn't really affected your sub!
have you tried the submission master or proboxing model grappling dummies? I’m leaning towards this smarty one but before I make the investment I wanted to ask someone like you that has more experience with these. Thanks so much.
@@SENSEIJASON That's great to hear. My wife ordered me one for Christmas. I thought about going with the 120lb one, as I am 6'4" and 247lbs. But I am also quite out of shape and recovering from surgery. So I decided to get the 90lb one.
that's awesome brother, that's a wise choice for longevity in your training, plus it would be a B**th to lug around the 120lb to store it, if you had a separate workout area. Feel free to comment again your experiences with the century 90 lb dummy, a lot of people will find it helpful!
@@SENSEIJASON I see. I have a versys 2 and it's bottom heavy as well, which makes any type of hip throw unbearable. The market needs a top heavy dummy to provide kazushi.
Grappling dummies in general are not the best to practice kuzushi, they are dead weigh objects at the end of the day. If you want to practice kuzushi just get some resistance bands and wrap around a pole. You can also use your belt to practice kuzushi. The century dummy however is not oddly displaced in its weight, I said most of the weight resides in the lower half and this is similar to most humans, their center of gravity is around hips and most weight is from there going down. I believe the century dummy is a great substitute for live training partner. It is like a boxer using a heavy bag. The heavy bag does not resemble the human perfectly but it allows one to develop and sharpen his/her techniques. Same thing goes for the grappling dummy, it is highly versatile though it may lack in some areas. Just my humble opinion. 🙏🏽
@@SENSEIJASON agreed nothing topples over like a human. I think most people have more wright above the hip joint as opposed to below. I think suples makes more top heavy dummies that are easier to throw.
Would you suggest 70lbs or 90lbs? Considering the time you have to get those things throw and bring it back, I think 70lbs better but since I’ve only used combat sports 90lbs one I can’t tell for century product. Would you get 70lbs or still 90lbs if you could go back in time before buying your current one ? 😅
Great question, if I could go back in time, I would get the 70lbs. Although I have no complaints with the 90lbs, it does force you to rely a little bit more on strength and conditioning. But this should be relative to your height and weight. I weigh 140lbs and i'm about 5'7. If you are substantially bigger than me perhaps the 90lbs wouldn't be a bad choice. But if you are around my specs, or are completely new to grappling 70lbs would be the best choice, for working on technique conditioning.
Solid work, Jason! A question: I was the dummy who bought a 120lb century. The guy who sold it to me owns an mma gym and helped me carry to the car, goes: that’s the heaviest 120lbs I’ve ever carried” 😂 Anyway, I think I’m gonna trade for a 90 lb, but I’m curious if there’s any way to take some of the stuffing out? I can’t tell if there’s a hidden zipper or something 🤷♂️ Any help? Many thanks
For my dummy, it is stitched in and sealed tightly. No way to get it out unless you have a heavy duty machine capable of stitching through leather like material. You may be able to sell it, and use the money to purchase a 90lb.
@@SENSEIJASON thanks so much for the prompt reply, Jason! You’re absolutely right on the permanent stitching. I found a local mma gym owner here in Dallas who bought it for what I paid, so it was a good lesson learned; always check reviews first ☺️ Thanks again!
Hey I’m 6’1ft 170lb solid. Would you recommend me getting 120lb since it’s close to my height & if I could get a 140lb would that be good? I contacted the suples store they said the USA team practice with a dummy that’s 5’8 only 88lb it’s better for getting the technique down.
Well it definitely is not a bad investment. I think that if you use the 120lb properly and try not to overdo it, you might get a great benefit compared to the 90lb. So I weight around 145lb, and I have 90lb dummy, about 55lb difference. You weight 170lb, and if you got 120lb dummy it would be a 50lb difference. So the ratio is about the same between you and me. I’d say go for 120lb. If it is terribly heavy let me know, and I can try to walk you through some tips.
@@SENSEIJASON okay thanks yeah I was also looking at the suples 90lb 5’8. The arms are amazing. It’s good for me working on the clinch & grips in the clinch. Is the arms in century good or stiff and are there bigger with bigger version?
Only problem they don't sell these in canada and all the ones we have are s*it like complete crap good for grappling and actual submission but I want the weight for throws
That is the one on amazon, it is a lot cheaper, the original link is in the description if you scroll, I will just put it on the comments section too. Right now unfortunately they are out of stock on century 😭
For me I think it is very practical. I’ve never been in a street altercation, but from the videos I see online, grabbing, pulling, pushing, holding, tackling, these are all very consistent and common. Having a grappling dummy can help simulate how to counter those situations.
$400 to expensive..where can i find a cheaper one less than $100? what inside made off? i need this guy.. take my anger on him..when ever i have a bad day.. i am not a fighter .. just a normal guy.. can u lose weight using this dummy?
Jesus christ is lord accept him he is the only way to heaven there's no other seek him and you will find him he will take all pain away and give you a peac that surpasses all understanding

Can you make it wear a gi or is it to bulky for that?
yes it is possible, but most like you need to put gi on backwards, or buy a huge gi
Im a wrestler and I weigh 120 pounds at 5”8 and im still growing. Should I get 70 lb or 90 lbs
I'd start with 70lbs, and when you outgrow the dummy, you can size up.
Was it already filled when you bought it
Yes
Where did you buy grappling dummy
Century martial arts
Can u do an update on it
Good idea
does the dummy come filled for every size or do you have to pay extra for it pre stuffed?
If you order century dummy, they all come stuffed.
How well will this break in? I just got mine and it’s super stiff.
Time and consistency. If you want to speed up the break in, grab a pair of boxing gloves and go to town. Aka smash the dummy for a few rounds.
Does it come filled or like how does that work
came filled, shipping fee was $$$$

I think it is a good size for you. It will be way too inconvenient to store the 120lb dummy and carry it around

It really depends if you want to improve your grappling, if so I recommend any grappler to have a dummy to train with.
Anyone know what size gi to put on this thing
Well even the largest Gi I own, I have to put on my dummy “backwards”. So I’m not sure about the correct size to put on this dude.
this is good for judo throws and when you are on top. but i need a dummy i can use for closed guard
Yup, better off getting one of those soft sandy looking dummies, better for closed guard.
Thank you so much
If I could afford one of these, I'd be throwing it down all day
Buy it once and it’s cheaper than a years worth of judo membership!
If i weighh 200lb what lb dummy i should get
What stuff/material did you use to fill the dummy ?
Hi my friend, this dummy was already stuffed when it arrived.
@@SENSEIJASON oooh that makes sense, I'm struggling to make mine stand 😔 all the tutorials on UA-cam are ones that are mainly for ground work
I bought one and im caring about the plastic smell , maybe toxic ,do you hace similar thougths when it was new??
Hey brother, when I bought mine it was wrapped heavily in a protective wrap. However I did not notice any plastic smell. I’ve had some heavy bags come in smelling like plastic before. I would suggest airing it out perhaps in the sun, you can even give it a quick wipe down with some wet wipes. Let me know how it goes. And I will say it is not uncommon for new products to smell upon arrival. Hope it goes away soon!

do they come filled
Yes if you buy from century martial arts
Is it coming filled?
This dummy came filled. It is by century martial arts
How long are the arms? Reviews I read on dummies are always complaining about short arm length.
I will measure them and get back to you with exact measurements, but if you’re asking me, I’d tell you they’ve never really been a problem. They get the job done for me. They don’t however have an elbow joint which may make the arm seem shorter than a regular humans. Give me some time and I’ll get back with those measurements once I have some free time.
@@SENSEIJASON WOW that was a fast response! Thanks man. Yeah, sure, no worries, no rush!
Hey my friend, i just measured the arms, from the outside stitching of the arm from the stress point (where arm attaches to body) it measures roughly around 21-23 inches.
@@SENSEIJASON Cool, thx for that! That's not too bad, that's basically like a normal arm minus the hand, which is about where we're grabbing to finish the armbar anyways, so I see why you say it hasn't really affected your sub!
have you tried the submission master or proboxing model grappling dummies? I’m leaning towards this smarty one but before I make the investment I wanted to ask someone like you that has more experience with these. Thanks so much.
Unfortunately only the century dummies brother. But if the reviews look good and you order through Amazon, check to see if they offer free returns!
@@SENSEIJASON thank you for the tip!
It cant stand on it's own right?
The maximum if you get the weight distribution just right, it can stay up for about 1-2 seconds, dummy already has to be broken in as well.
Spettacolo
Hey I been looking for one, did you have to fill it yourself or does it come filled
This one came filled 🙏🏽
How is it holding up?
Perfect condition, of course I wipe it down after a sweaty training, and always store it in my garage. Never leave it outside.
@@SENSEIJASON That's great to hear. My wife ordered me one for Christmas. I thought about going with the 120lb one, as I am 6'4" and 247lbs. But I am also quite out of shape and recovering from surgery. So I decided to get the 90lb one.
that's awesome brother, that's a wise choice for longevity in your training, plus it would be a B**th to lug around the 120lb to store it, if you had a separate workout area. Feel free to comment again your experiences with the century 90 lb dummy, a lot of people will find it helpful!
@jasonleung is it top heavy?
Hey my friend, it is very well stuffed all around. I’d say it is solid everywhere. But I would say the legs make up the bulk of the mass.
@@SENSEIJASON I see. I have a versys 2 and it's bottom heavy as well, which makes any type of hip throw unbearable. The market needs a top heavy dummy to provide kazushi.
Grappling dummies in general are not the best to practice kuzushi, they are dead weigh objects at the end of the day. If you want to practice kuzushi just get some resistance bands and wrap around a pole. You can also use your belt to practice kuzushi. The century dummy however is not oddly displaced in its weight, I said most of the weight resides in the lower half and this is similar to most humans, their center of gravity is around hips and most weight is from there going down. I believe the century dummy is a great substitute for live training partner. It is like a boxer using a heavy bag. The heavy bag does not resemble the human perfectly but it allows one to develop and sharpen his/her techniques. Same thing goes for the grappling dummy, it is highly versatile though it may lack in some areas. Just my humble opinion. 🙏🏽
@@SENSEIJASON agreed nothing topples over like a human. I think most people have more wright above the hip joint as opposed to below. I think suples makes more top heavy dummies that are easier to throw.
Would you suggest 70lbs or 90lbs?
Considering the time you have to get those things throw and bring it back, I think 70lbs better but since I’ve only used combat sports 90lbs one I can’t tell for century product.
Would you get 70lbs or still 90lbs if you could go back in time before buying your current one ? 😅
Great question, if I could go back in time, I would get the 70lbs. Although I have no complaints with the 90lbs, it does force you to rely a little bit more on strength and conditioning. But this should be relative to your height and weight. I weigh 140lbs and i'm about 5'7. If you are substantially bigger than me perhaps the 90lbs wouldn't be a bad choice. But if you are around my specs, or are completely new to grappling 70lbs would be the best choice, for working on technique conditioning.
Solid work, Jason!
A question:
I was the dummy who bought a 120lb century.
The guy who sold it to me owns an mma gym and helped me carry to the car, goes: that’s the heaviest 120lbs I’ve ever carried” 😂
Anyway, I think I’m gonna trade for a 90 lb, but I’m curious if there’s any way to take some of the stuffing out? I can’t tell if there’s a hidden zipper or something 🤷♂️
Any help? Many thanks
For my dummy, it is stitched in and sealed tightly. No way to get it out unless you have a heavy duty machine capable of stitching through leather like material. You may be able to sell it, and use the money to purchase a 90lb.
@@SENSEIJASON thanks so much for the prompt reply, Jason!
You’re absolutely right on the permanent stitching. I found a local mma gym owner here in Dallas who bought it for what I paid, so it was a good lesson learned; always check reviews first ☺️
Thanks again!
But on the upside you may develop some super human strength
How do you feel it?
Very good!
Hey I’m 6’1ft 170lb solid. Would you recommend me getting 120lb since it’s close to my height
& if I could get a 140lb would that be good?
I contacted the suples store they said the USA team practice with a dummy that’s 5’8 only 88lb it’s better for getting the technique down.
I agree, if it is too heavy, you will be muscling and forcing all your throws rather than applying true technique.
@@SENSEIJASON what about 120 lb? From century I like the 120 because the height. It’s 6ft like me
Or 90 lb 5’6ft ?
Well it definitely is not a bad investment. I think that if you use the 120lb properly and try not to overdo it, you might get a great benefit compared to the 90lb. So I weight around 145lb, and I have 90lb dummy, about 55lb difference. You weight 170lb, and if you got 120lb dummy it would be a 50lb difference. So the ratio is about the same between you and me. I’d say go for 120lb. If it is terribly heavy let me know, and I can try to walk you through some tips.
@@SENSEIJASON okay thanks yeah I was also looking at the suples 90lb 5’8. The arms are amazing. It’s good for me working on the clinch & grips in the clinch. Is the arms in century good or stiff and are there bigger with bigger version?
Is that a good dummy for a person like me that is 6’4 😬
Yea
🚀💥🚀

Where do i get one

Im thinking about 120 lb lol but i think it might not be as easy as it looks
I know a lot of people who are way heavier than me say that the 120lb dummy is unbearably heavy
@@SENSEIJASON ye lol im not sure if it would be smart im only 17
Ta piola
tan caros
cálida no cantidad ;v
Only problem they don't sell these in canada and all the ones we have are s*it like complete crap good for grappling and actual submission but I want the weight for throws
Wow…century needs to do something about that
Great content. Thank you. But the link to buy is for a different product
That is the one on amazon, it is a lot cheaper, the original link is in the description if you scroll, I will just put it on the comments section too. Right now unfortunately they are out of stock on century 😭
Hi dad
HELLO!
in europe this guy is $300 :( so i bought a cheaper one for around $170
Nice good steal 🔥🙏
He needs a name
workin on that..
No Ankle locks?
No Wrist Locks?
No FINGER LOCKS?
How practical is this dummy for REAL Martial Arts?
For me I think it is very practical. I’ve never been in a street altercation, but from the videos I see online, grabbing, pulling, pushing, holding, tackling, these are all very consistent and common. Having a grappling dummy can help simulate how to counter those situations.
$400 to expensive..where can i find a cheaper one less than $100?
what inside made off?
i need this guy..
take my anger on him..when ever i have a bad day..
i am not a fighter ..
just a normal guy..
can u lose weight using this dummy?

What does that bullshit religious dogma have to do with a grappling dummy review ….religion is superstition and completely ignorance and stupidity based…..period!!!!!
This is a review about a dummy get your religious BS out of here
Why do most Asia-Americans particularly Chinese-Americans who talked English and they all sounded like this guy? This general no regional accent of any kind, just this generic English.
