    Mantis wooden dummy?

    Hi all,

    So far I've seen wooden dummies(Muk Jong) for: Wing Chun, Choy Li Fut..and as of about a year ago..one for Hung Ga(Hung Kuen).

    Is there such a thing as Mantis Muk Jong? If so, how does it differ from say..the Wing Chun wooden dummy..thanks!

    As a cheap but highly effective dummy arm only, I have a 2 piece cut broom stick wrapped in a towel then wrapped with duct tape the same size as a humerous and unlna/ radial bone complete with fist ball at the end and I use it for all mantis arm techniques and joint locks, it works suprising very well and it costs hardly nothing.

    An article springs to mind from the "Mantis Quarterly" journal, in which Sifu Robert Hui talks about training with with the Taiji Mantis wooden dummy. Perhaps this might be of interest?
