Feature Description
Impact Damping System - This unique feature designed by us redistributes and absorbs incoming force and allows the dummy to provide a realistic feedback without being pushed around. This is a brilliant feature and only available with our dummies.

Raised Knee - After consulting with head instructors, it was suggested that we add a knee to the leg. This is a beautifully designed knee that helps with some kicking moves. It is also reinforced with internal metal rods to add strength to the joint.

Weight plate system - This is situated at the back of the dummy and is a place where weights can be easily added to give even more weight if you need it. This is a unique feature of our dummies where the weights are bolted down and can be stacked. No reasonable limit on size.

Rubber Base - Helps stability and grip and also protects the floor. A rubber heel is also on the leg.
Attached using a high grade industrial specialist glue.

Supurb Durable Finishing - The Original Wooden Dummy is finished in ‘Japanese Brown’ Stain and finished with additional coats of marine grade external, high quality polyurethane.

Our aim is to build a best quality product that has visual appeal and superb function to inspire training for the experience Martial Artist

Compact Design – One of our main design criteria was to produce a dummy suitable for small areas. It can stand alone or be located in a corner or against the wall.

Transportable – The Original Wooden Dummy can be set-up in a moment. This is perfect for people who want to transport the dummy such as an instructor moving the dummy from home to a training centre or if the dummy needs to be relocated or just stored out of the way.

Easy Set-up – Set-up in a couple of minutes, no tools required.
(If dummy needs to be shipped then there is an initial setup requiring a screw driver to secure 4 screws)

Handmade in Sydney –  Every dummy is lovingly handcrafted in our small workshop in Sydney using high quality, locally sourced timber. No expense is spared when it comes to the quality of all products used. Each dummy takes around 6 weeks to complete as it is very labour intensive and not a production line business churning out high volumes. We prefer to call it a creation.

Laminated Timber Body & Hardwood Arms and Legs – For superior strength, weight and balance. Our Wooden Dummies are built to last with laminated sheets of timber, marine grade glues and paints. If it was made from a single log it could split and fracture over time as it is affected by the environment. Our method prevents any splitting and has additional security to prevent splitting with 9 internal bolts inserted inside the body that are not visible. I the body section there are 48 separate pieces of timber making up the whole. Once the glue up of the parts is complete the body is then carved out and finished.

Polyurethane finish - on body and base, including in the holes for post, arms & leg.

Back section of Arms are finished with Polyurethane for added durability.
The front sections of the arms is soaked in Food grade oil and polished. This soaks into the timber and hardens, providing strength to the timber but still allows a nice tactile feel when using and protects it from splitting.

Locally hand-made in Sydney, Australia with Timber from sustainable sources - we care about using timber from a sustainable source.

NOTE: The leg must always be installed in the dummy, even when not in use. The leg provides the forward stability to the dummy and this will prevent it falling over. Dummy should only be used for its intended purpose and is not for use by children.
