hapkido training dummy? ?

[Sayres2878]

Hello all. Im new to this site. Ive been looking for a training dummy to practice joint locks on. I need something with anatomically correct joints in the wrist elbow and shoulder. Does anyone know if anything like this exists? I know a human is the best to practice with but when at home I need something to help. TIA scott

I wish...let us know if you find one. I've often imagined it would be cool to have.

Lolol not quite the response I'd hope for.. but I see the difficulty here..

Practicing joint locks on a dummy would be a waste of time. It's not currently possible for a dummy to replicate the function and responses of the human body.

DD is right, but as has been advised before, would be handy for the gross movement memory. I have actually contemplated putting a jumper on my bob and sewing stuffed arms into it just to remember the movements, when training is more focused on other aspects.

Sounds a little weird to do looking at it in writing, but short of having a training partner to practice at home, I think it would be handy.

This... Make a martial arts friend and practice together, it's far more effective. Hapkido brings people together!
