They can be useful for lifting, throwing, and ground & pound. I wouldn't bother with standup striking like the guy was doing in the video - the dummy will fall down after each real punch or kick so you'd spend most of your time standing it back up again. Submission training is also pointless - the anatomy isn't realistic enough to allow proper technique.
we don't do much gnp training preferring to spend that time stopping someone gnping us. Which is the better skill to have.
May be you can suspend it like a punching bag with a harness (like in a parachute)?I wouldn't bother with standup striking like the guy was doing in the video - the dummy will fall down after each real punch or kick so you'd spend most of your time standing it back up again.
I agree, but then again the better your training partners are at GnP, the better your defense against GnP will become.

The dummy is a good training aid, nothing more or less, to be used in conjunction with training with real people, using pads, kick shields, tyres etc etc. Training aids don't take the place of 'live' people but compliment the training.
When you tyres, would that be the sledge hammer job. One of the problems I have is finding people to train with.
We had one made as well as a small one for the kids class. It's very useful, as you can go hard on them as Andrew has said. You can practice countless moves on them without hurting a human who would get fed up of being thrown a few dozen times.
