very very late to the party, but first - great job and video. Their is one important feature that was not included in your dummy however. the arms need to be able to move in response to strikes. they need to give. the dummies should be (imo) used primarily for accuracy and precision of strikes, not for "strength or speed" as many might think. by allowing for the arms and leg to give, you can assess whether or not your technique is correct. also, "proper" wooden dummies generally have the slots made so that the arms can be rotated to vary this amount of play. But otherwise, really a great job! hats off to you !

Never too late to the party and you are absolutely correct. Over years of use, the arms have loosened up and become more "responsive." I keep them in place with zip-ties which makes the length slightly adjustable as well. Love the suggestions made here, so I am pinning this comment. You can also check out our "follow-up" video from last year here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rHl2vMGdhdq_nJs.html

Untrue. the arms and leg do not have to give. The old wooden men were posts set in the ground, And the arms and leg firmly hammered in. They had zero give. The new dummies (made when Yip Man moved to Hong Kong) were designed to be easily taken apart when moving apartments. So tolerances were looser. They also could not be set into the ground(due to apartment life), so stands were invented. The wooden man is for training techniques at full power, without having to worry about injuring or killing your training partner. They are meant to be hit, full force, and full speed. If a wooden man is delicate, then is is just wrong.

Love the video. Something quick, easy, very inexpensive. It is not over thought. Nor does the average person's need to have a tool shop, or wood shop to do all the work. Awesome.

It's the first time I've seen a genuine homemade dummy made from spare bits. Too many videos have things "hanging around" that would cost a fortune in B&Q plus hundreds of £££ worth of power tools. Well done!

Thank you for the kind comment! Yep, you will find on my channel that I everything I do is "on the cheap" as we say around here. Nothing fancy, just piecing together old bits of this-and-that and having a creative mind. I am always on the lookout for spare parts and things that I can work into something new (and different). The dummy in this video is almost two years old now and still looks like the day I made it. I have had a ton of people wanting to buy it off me every time they see it. It was a great project and I use it at least 3 times a week (working it into my other workouts). Thanks for watching!

I like that the tyre base serves as a springy support, and also something you can still practice kicks on :) This is ruddy clever, you just saved a good few hundred bucks

I have an actual Mook Joon from China. The arms to this homemade dummy is too far wide. The idea on wing chun is efficiency and economy of movement. Those arms represent the deficiency of space much like the deficiency of this countries government spending. Wide and far in between!!!

There's one video called "How to make a Homemade Wooden Dummy for about $30" - I cringed so~ hard at the design (the two top arms were parallel rather than pointing at an angle), even his rambling was cringey, and I'm probably even less experienced than him!

I know this video is a few years old. Good work. But the arms are way off. Gonna throw off your positioning. Btw if u are ever able to make one that slides. It's good to have it able to move because when you kick or hit at angle if it slides it shows you are hitting correctly. If it doesn't you're off position and pressure. But again good job in making it yourself.
