Choosing a Wooden Dummy (Mook Jung)

TRADITIONAL WOODEN DUMMIES:  SKU #MW8 ($1,195.00), SKU #W102 ($849.95), SKU #W109 ($699.95)

These dummies are most closely based on the original wooden dummy design that's been in use for over a century.  They are full size dummies that require plenty of space and need to be mounted to sturdy 2x4 wall studs and beams.  These dummies can be used to train both controlled and full-power striking and blocking techniques, as well as being able to slide across the top and bottom rails to train short-range, explosive pushing power.

 

SELF-STANDING:  SKU #W106 ($749.95)

These dummies are similar to the traditional design, with the exception that they are built to stand on their frame without being mounted to the wall.  Because of this, they are good for training soft and medium strength striking and blocking techniques, but full power strikes may cause it to slide or become "tipsy".  These dummies are excellent for transport to demonstrations, as they are very close to the original dummy design while remaining portable.

 

SPACE-SAVING:  SKU #W113 ($685.00)

This dummy is approximately 1/2 the depth of the traditional design and a bit less wide, making it a good alternative to those who want a full dummy but don't have space for it.  It can be used to train controlled or full-power striking and blocking, but can not slide to the left or right.

 

SPRING FRAME:  SKU #W558 ($875.00)

This dummy is a new design created by Leung Ting.  It requires much less space than the traditional design, but still needs to be mounted to a sturdy location.  Designed for advanced practitioners, this dummy encourages full-power striking with emphasis on training sinking energy to make strikes "heavier".  The spring frame provides excellent feedback, with more powerful strikes compressing the springs more and resulting in a stronger push-back.  Though it does not slide, the springs provide some side-to-side play that allow training short-range, explosive pushing power.

 

STAND ALONE:  SKU #W108 ($679.95)

This spinning wooden dummy is our most economical model in both price and size.  Its design allows it to be moved from one location to the next with minimal hassle, providing flexibility in designating a training location.  It can be used to train soft and medium-power striking and blocking, but is not recommended for full-power strikes due to its lack of a support frame.  Additionally, its ability to rotate at the base allows the practitioner to train sensitivity and subtle control (if pushed too hard to the side, the arms and leg will rotate away from the practitioner).  It is also conducive to training with a partner on the same dummy:  with one person on either side of the dummy, one performs the desired training pattern and attempts to issue enough lateral power in the last movement to rotate the dummy and send the arms to their partner.  Their partner then does the same.
