So I was looking around for new MA equipment, and I came across this gem. What do you guys think?

Why does everything have to be so expensive?

I hear ya'!!

It seems, imho, that WC Dummies, in general are all expensive...UNLESS...one makes their own WC Dummy, like we all have those kind of skills...and I don't!!

Unfortunately, "What the market will bear" holds true in this case.

I was born with a wooden spoon in my mouth, and not afforded the silver spoon at all.

Fortunately, this isn't just a wooden dummy. It has additional slots for addition arms for reaction drills as well as sparring drills.

The possibilities excite me to no end!! Resistive drills, imho, are key to understanding movement. When my opponent does this, and I can do that, and so on and so forth.

Kind of reminds me of something I saw in a Jackie Chan move, and the apparatus gave him a fit, to say the least.

Seems that the word "Iron" has gained alot of prestige and acceptance in recent years. Iron brew drink. Iron shirt practice and the Iron palm technique. Iron Man the movie starring Robert Downy Jr, that also practice's Wing Chun.
He would be a great candidate to promote the
"Iron Master"

Iron brew is the cheap stuff! It's Irn Bru!! The only country in the world that a soft drink by the coca cola co isn't the top seller? Scotland!! It's been our top seller for over a century. Best hangover cure in the world, a roll on squared sausage and a can of Irn Bru.
