The top arms are not at the same height (or even close for that matter)
The arms are not tapered
The leg is really an arm
Square body
Arms don't look like they go all the way through the body

Terrible dummy. Throwing one's money away.
This is all your fault!
What?! That's a dummy?!
I thought I was looking at a stick of butter / tofu with dowels randomly inserted here-and-there.
Yikes! I wonder if they actually sell any.
Peace!

On the dummy I have used at my school a couple of times, the dummy's left arm (the one on my right) is slightly higher than the other. Is this unusual?
Member
Actually, no, it's the other way around. The right arm is higher than the left.
Senior Member
When made right both arms should be about on the same plane
at the front.

More idiots designing and trying to profit from the wooden man with little or no knowledge of them. Lovely.

I'd think a mook jong would be a major purchase for most people. It wouldn't be wise to go and buy one off the internet without some serious guidance aforehand by someone who knows these things well.
Even if it has the right shape, the composition could be incorrect or it could be poorly constructed. The sites online selling these things aren't Sears -- no great "return for full refund if not completely satisfied" guarantee; plus the things are heavy as lead and it would cost a fortune to try and ship one back to the supplier.
My 2 cents: if you want to buy one of these things, get your Sifu to help you.

True- lots of people are making dummies without good advice on form, function, purpose, materials etc. One of my s tudents is stuck witha dummy which was built by imitation...superficially looks ok... but the leg is glued to the body with carpenters glue!
Originally must have a had too much give-now its fixed!!!For sure.
I have seen dummies with wrong spacing of hands vertically and horizontally, lack of levelling, flat or square trunks, round holes
(yes I remember the discussion), major cracks due to moisture
and temperature not being taken into account, some woods wear out faster than others.
A dummy is not something to just beat on... but to learn and sharpen a lot of wing chun concepts. A dummy should be a life time investment with occasional replacement of an arm or two.

Ohhh, man! Someone is gonna be p i ss ed that their fencepost is gone!!
