Wow Iron, that is truly an incredibly put to good use bunk bed frame!! And it still has the child's superman logo attached! And I think the concrete tri-cornered hat makes a smashingly good base! I don't think it would ever tip over!!:D

the sad thing is that someone actually bid on it.

guys, i don't know whether to laugh about this or cry at the fact that this person is grouped in the same taxonomic kingdom as we are. :(

Hi - i'm just new to the list, but thought i would share some experiences with you all.

I was at a UK martial arts event, and looking at Wooden Dummies, having a play on them etc. (Kwan Sau, Gan Sau, Huen Sau...). Various people asked me to look at their 'dummies' - at first it was the PVC flat bodies one, which i thought was strange.
Then there were others...

- a dummy like the one mentioned above
- a dummy that you can suspend like a floor-to-ceiling speedball (elastic attatched top and bottom)!
- a dummy that you can wrap around a punbag!
- a 'kids' dummy, made with foam around the arms and thin body...

i thought they were all very 'interesting' and enjoyed watching all these karate ppl trying their 'skills' on them :D

thanks,
david

Dezhen2001-

I think its funny you mention karate folks whacking on the dummies.

I remember when the same guy above (at www.superwoodendummy.com / surfdealer7 on eBay), first started selling this "rare item" with an "amazing design"- he was wearing a white karate gi and a black belt. The picture was classic- a karate guy whacking on a stick with a superman logo sticker! :eek: Plus the description that follows! Talk about rolling on the floor, laughing my *ahem* off!

PS- This is your dummy

This is your dummy tripping out on drugs / LSD and other narcotics

A wooden dummy is a terrible thing to waste!

Peace!

Mokujin - nice pics man :D

u know, i think it's quite funny to watch ppl who don't do wing chun/jkd try to use the dummy. Really there is no point because it is not meant for their skill - so they do things nothing like they are taught. I remember in my 'good old' karate days we used to hit a makiwara, but there's no real reason to need a dummy with 'arms'.

Thankfully i'm not 'ready' for the dummy yet though. i did a seminar with my Sifu and Sigong, just so i could see what it was like - far to difficult for me! I'll just stick (no pun intended) to standing still doing SLT - the whole movement thing is far too hard :p

one,
