Hey Guys!
I just received my Warrior Mook Jong a couple of days ago. I still have to put some sand in the base before I can put it to serious use. I’m impressed with it so far! I’m working on putting up a website and will post a review with pics when I get that done. Soon!

Keith,
For some reason I can’t go to the site. Tell me some details about it, what kind of stand, is it wood or composite and How $.
Thanks
Don
I have two of these dummies. One for my kwoon, and one in
my home. I put water in it instead of sand, so that it is easier to empty
if/when I need to move them to different locations; when filled the base is very heavy. The wheels are great for moving the base around an existing location.
My opinion, they are very good. The two arms at the top are a little closer together than wooden dummies I’ve seen, but it is still very good.
The rubber caps on the small wooden pegs that go through each arm behind the dummy sometimes fall off; and so I tape the rubber caps to their wooden pegs securely.
One great thing about these dummies is that you can hit the trunk with your
fists, palms, elbows, knees, and feet without worrying about hurting yourself.
On a wooden dummy, you would have to wrap those leather pads to the areas you want to strike. (I do still love the traditional wooden dummies 
)
Have fun !

You can drill them full force ?

Hey Don!
A full review with pictures is soon to come! I’m going to work on my new website this weekend.
[QUOTE=sanjuro_ronin;842880]You can drill them full force ?[/QUOTE]
Depends on how tough you are! The padding is only about 3/4 inch thick. But with a pair of bag gloves or MMA gloves on you can pretty much drill it like you would a heavy bag.

And it takes the punishment?
[QUOTE=sanjuro_ronin;842888]And it takes the punishment?[/QUOTE]
I haven’t had the chance to really “punish it” yet. I plan to get the base filled with sand tonight and start working it. But I don’t see why it wouldn’t take the punishment. The trunk is PVC covered with foam and marine-grade vinyl fabric. The arms are hardwood. The trunk slides into a socket in the base that is about 8 inches deep, so it makes a good sturdy joint. Even with the base filled with sand, I’d think you would tip it over before you would break it.

thats allot of money… any added benefits? why not just get a good wooden one?
[QUOTE=monji112000;842941]thats allot of money… any added benefits? why not just get a good wooden one?[/QUOTE]
If you can drill this one full force, just there is a huge benefit.

Hi Phil!
I was thinking I’d do sand because it is heavier than water and won’t leak. I get to pin on Major in May.
[QUOTE=monji112000;842941]thats allot of money… any added benefits? why not just get a good wooden one?[/QUOTE]
—The primary benefit for me was that fact that it is a free-standing design. I don’t have a lot of room to set up a mounting frame, and didn’t want to mount it outside. The design allows me to push it off into a corner when not in use, and then push out into my workout area when I’m ready to train. I think another benefit is that the entire trunk is padded. That’s not why I got it, but it does seem to be a good feature. Like sanjuro said, being able to really apply some force and power to it with reduced risk of injury is a benefit. I’ve always considered the dummy to be rather like a “sophisticated heavy bag” specifically for Wing Chun. This particular dummy is just a bit closer to the “heavy bag” side than the traditional design.
My biggest issue with the traditional wooden dummy is that you can’t drill it full force and full speed and I don’t like doing anything without the resistence that it normally woudl be used at.
Sure to learn the move and such is fine to go at half speed and pulled impact, but to get the real feeling of a sequence of moves it must be done hard and fast like it would be in reality.
Hi Keith, you did get the rollers on the base so that you can move it around right? I like those dummy because you can hit, elbow, and knee them.
[QUOTE=sanjuro_ronin;842952]If you can drill this one full force, just there is a huge benefit.[/QUOTE] why can’t you drill at full force a real dummy? maybe you have a cheap dummy…
I like the real thing, it hurts if you hit hard.. but then put some foam padding on it.
Maybe its just me, but If I’m going to practice full power, its better on a person. That way he is moving, and not static. The best thing about the dummy is kicking (JMO) is that you can use it instead of a tire, and nail it full power. Push kick shin kicks ect.. I never looked at the pain of training with a dummy as a bad thing…
[QUOTE=Phil Redmond;842983]Hi Keith, you did get the rollers on the base so that you can move it around right? I like those dummy because you can hit, elbow, and knee them.[/QUOTE]
Yep! They come standard! I also like the fact that, since it is free-standing, you can go past a 90 degree angle on the dummy because there are no cross-supports to get in the way. This opens it up for practice of various Chin Na/standing grappling applications as well as just working on footwork to evade and flank when necessary.

Did you ever try to punch a hardwood dummy full force with an unprotected fist? If you can do that on a regular basis, then you’re certianly tougher than I am! :eek:

well thats what a heavy bag is for. Call me a traditionalist but each tool has a purpose. It hurts for a reason, you get tough that way. I remember watching people use foam, and hit it full power. I used to do it back in my jow ga days. Honestly best training tool is a person. Everything else is just imitation.
