Posted by Warrior Martial Art Supply on May 13th, 2019

Most people who are into martial arts would have seenwooden dummy before? But, in martial arts rigorous training and practice is the key to outrank all your competitors in martial arts. As the old Chinese goes “I fear not the man who practices 10,000 techniques once, but I hold great respect for the man who practices one technique for 10,000 times. The moral is practice makes the man perfect. Practice, practice and practice until you succeed.

Instant feedback for your structure

When you strike the solid dummy made out of wood, you will receive instant feedback about your structure. If the strike was solid and true together with good structure, you will feel that the power transferred from your body to the dummy. For instance, if by chance your wrist was at the wrong angle, you’ll receive negative feedback from the dummy.

Builds power and confidence

Although it’s not necessary that dummy should always be used with full power, there is nothing bad if you do so. With the passage of time, as you build up both speed and power, you will begin experiencing tangible power in all of your strikes.

When you’ll be able to strike with great force, your fighting ability will increase exponentially thus boosting your confidence by leaps and bounds. There lies a huge difference between being able to perform and knowing that you can perform and that too without causing any harm to one.

Training is accessible 24*7

No matter you undergo training each day at the same time or timings change frequently, if you have a dummy at your home, you can practice 24*7 at your convenience. Another advantage is you no more have to wait for your partner for the quick warm up session.

Perhaps, you will learn a new technique every time you walk past your dummy.  It is tough to find a personal trainer who would be highly OK with this regime of yours.

Keep this in mind while you shop dummy

The diameter of the body should range between 8.5 and 9.5 inches. This will help you place upper arms at the correct angle. If it is narrow, they will be too close and if it is wider, it will fall apart.

Both the upper arms should be at the same angle. If there lies any difference, it will create an imbalance in your techniques. Although the holes might be at different heights but make sure the arms are at the same angle.

Martial arts’ training with a Mook Jong dummy is considered as one of the most effective ways to improve technique and boost power together with confidence. Further, any style of martial arts can adapt its technique with these dummies.
