I'm sadly there now, I've been doing kung fu for many years now and it's not even the implementation of it. I was lucky enough to find a teacher who not only did kung fu but kickboxing as well, so I had no problems implementing it in combat. it was really the culture behind it. for some reason when you look into different styles, my teacher and the students would be very angry at me. not to mention we were close to the culture of NYC Chinatown and if you were not ass kissing or not born in it, the students there would be nothing but rude to me. I was never allowed to speak, never allowed to have a different opinion and it was becoming way too toxic. I was even called a traitor and a loser because I was thinking of moving outside of NYC. I spent many years helping my sifu run the school, help clean, and make sure everyone was safe and well taught but to constantly be disrespected like that was too much. and to be forced to only move how they move is like being forced to read only one book and be called a scholar. I'm not into martial arts to be in a circle jerk group, I'm not into it when a master treats a student like a servant, which my sifu didn't do but the group she would work in would. so I still have a love for art and philosophy. I just want to have the freedom to learn what I feel is best for me and expand my idea of what martial arts is. If I ever teach again I promise myself I'm not gonna be butt hurt when my student wants to learn a different style. I would say yes go read a different book, surpass me and if you have the time, please come back for tea and teach me. no ego, no self-righteousness, just love and passion towards the ways of martial arts. so I don't know what to do now, if I can make the money I would actually love to learn BJJ. but we shall see, the path is a crazy one but thankfully, an interesting one. maybe I'll try UA-cam again or TikTok and make videos about me learning different styles. get my passion going again, get that feeling that kung fu used to give me. the passion of learning and expanding one selfs limits. thank you for reading my rant lmao.

spinning backfist with the lead or the rear hand?

This was a genius idea

Are you serious. I’ve purchased the unfilled version of the extra large and there was no videos explaining about the poly fill in the shoulders and hips area. I was told to put it in the hands feet and head. I’ve put 60 pounds of shredded material but the shoulders and hips separate the material inside. which then makes the arms and legs lie limp in the joints for the shoulders and hips. There wasn’t any information about pool noodles. I now have to purchase more material and repack it for the third time this product is just a leather version of the canvas version ring to cage, grappling dummy definitely overpriced. Wish you would’ve came out with this information. About three months ago. It would’ve helped me out tremendously.😢

Fantastic! Looking for the similar setup to practice against Standing Passers and respective DLR, Reverse DLR, X, etc. entries. Any Grappling Dummy setups and vids for this?

I've got an XL and the new filling procedure significantly improved my smarties upper body. I think if I were going to do it a third time these are my lessons learned and what improved the upper body. Everything the video says is spot on with the toroso head and joints. No complaints. Much more resilient, flexible and lighter which is actually much more usable without making it feel like it too light (like it doesnt have mass). I used a stuffing tool which was basically a golf club shaft which gave great reach. I cut off the club head, wrapped it in duct tape to get rid of any edges that might tear stuff and the club grip made it really easy to use. For the limbs I would suggest a different type of fabric. I think its nylon or polyester but its the very light synthetic kind of dress material that you see on fancy dresses. I also found thin jersey material to work well. This stuff is super slippery and fills the limbs well. I thought it would not be soft enough but it works great, fills easily and is soft but not bouncy. I made the mistake of trying to use "softer" material in the legs but it never really spreads out well and the legs ended up too stiff and lumpy. Material like terrycloth towels should never be considered for legs and I would avoid it due to weight in the toroso. Material like the fleece wipers seemed to yield a lumpy result and was still harder to push in around the pool noodles even with my tool. It seems like anything cotton is heavier and lumpier than a thin synthetic material. I could really get the slippery material to continue spiraling and wrapping around the noodles which I think is the key to reducing lumps. I found a 3.5" pool noodle to be too thick for the legs and wish I had used the 3" ones I had in reserve. If I could do the legs again I would use the slippery material, 3" pool noodles to help with filling and also with final flexibility around the knees. In addition it might be worth considering polyfill at the knees since it helped so much with the other joints.

is it not bad work way your guys sitting on floor the whole day do this , why they do not work on large table like everywhere production / assembly line work ? thanks

“Effective martial arts”? YOU MUST read “Myths and blind spots in the fighting arts’ world”. It’s definitely up your alley.

Thanks, man, this is helpful to get myself back into training. Starting all over again :)

Where to buy it

Excellent 👍

Ripped my biceps tendon and you guys keep me doing what I love. Much gratitude!

Perfect! Refilled the Smarty and it looks and feels much better. Congrats on your success!

Thank you so much for the new video. I am refilling mine this week with the new procedures

I feel more flexible after 3 week

I have refilled mine about two times but I always have the same issue. The area by the hip joints always become divided and so the legs start hanging down. It looses stiffeness in the hips after one training session..

Back to the drawing board. I’m going to refill mine this weekend.

Thank you for this helpful video! How many pounds of fleece wipers do you use per smarty?

Hmm... I might have to refill mine now.

Thanks for the new video. Mine has always felt a little difficult to move around the arms and legs (I stuffed it myself), so it looks like a lot more Poly is needed (I only have it in the hands and feet), and maybe I'll add the noodles as well.

❤

Thanks for the video. Your fill procedure is great, lots of good ideas. I filled mine with poly and clothes rags only a while ago so it's going to stay like this for me, but for your future customers, pre filled looks like a great option. I personally really like the dummy.

Thanks for the updated filling method ! First time I'm glad to have procrastinated, will take the weekend to fill mime correctly !

I like the idea. I don't have a sparring partner at home, and my gym is far enough that I can't go every day. This would help on off days. PS. Someone is going to strap a dildo to one of those.

I’d like to personally thank you for taking me in until I quit in 2020, thank you Patrick for having taught me to defend myself as a boy. I will miss Effective Martial Arts for sure, but I know that if you will ever go back it will be great

This video is outdated. Check out our NEW & Improved SMARTY Filling Procedure video below! How We Fill the Grappling SMARTY ua-cam.com/video/Zq6coxZKIy8/v-deo.html

Dummy? Yes! Smarty! NO!!!

Thinking of purchasing but can you have to GI on the dummy with the harness?

Your belt ranking system..what discipline?

Great whitty advert well done

Sliding on different surfaces would limit this technique 😢

Congratulation to acomprehensive overview, which should include motivation, selfanalysis and ercommended sports or hobbies.In my expereince people like doing martial arts untill they meet a better one. I would start emphasizing it at the very beginning. Paul.68.

Nice, mostly for methodology and angles.I would emphasize distance, angles, timing, and levels of efficiency. Best regards. 68

Trying to reinvent the wheel usually doesn't make for actual improvement.

That breakfall example was really bad

Nice thank you sir

What is it filled with? I’d kinda just rather buy it filled but need to know so I kinda know what to expect feel wise before shelling out that kinda dough

Why $500 tho

It’s so hard to fill 😢

Ooooohhh that dummy raisin my pressure😏

What are your thoughts on Krav Maga?

Valuable writing on the dummy, for some reason kids love climbing such 😅

Hi, your demonstrations are excellent , very clear, if you dont mind please do a video about the best excercises to improve the strength of legs and arms, I had been practising boxing, but I realized the importance of mix martial arts in real life..good luck

very very good

Thank you man

Can someone teln us about the experience with this dummy?

Break falls are stupid

I find the side kick with the rear leg much easier than with the lead leg

This was a great little workout!... Especially for somebody just about to start learning.

The most lethal body weapons out there.
