Why Most Grappling Dummies Don’t Work at Home

If you’ve tried training at home with a lightweight grappling dummy, you’ve likely run into the same problems:

  • It collapses when you pull guard

  • It tips over when you break posture

  • It folds during open-guard attacks

  • You spend more time resetting than drilling

That’s why lightweight dummies rarely become part of a real training routine.

The problem isn’t motivation.
The problem is instability.

What Changes When Stability Is Solved

When a dummy stays upright under pressure, training changes immediately:

  • Guard posture actually holds

  • Sit-up guard and posture breaks feel usable

  • Mount and side-control drilling stay stable

  • Reset loops disappear

  • Short sessions (10–20 minutes) finally add up

Not because you train harder — but because your reps stop getting interrupted.

See How Stability-Weighted Design™ Changes Training

The Submission Master is built around one idea:

Stability-Weighted Design™ → fewer resets → more usable reps

With its ~85-lb professionally filled body and wide base, it:

  • Stays upright longer in guard and pressure drills

  • Performs consistently session after session

  • Lets you get more reps in less time

  • Never needs re-stuffing or maintenance

It’s not designed to be portable.
It’s designed to stay put — so your training can continue.

What Training With the Submission Master Feels Like

Most users notice the difference right away:

  • Guard work feels controlled instead of floppy

  • Mount and side-control drills stay grounded

  • Open-guard attacks stop collapsing mid-rep

  • Sessions feel efficient instead of frustrating

The dummy doesn’t replace live training.

It replaces missed reps between classes.

What Grapplers Are Saying

Trusted by BJJ athletes across the U.S. to train more reps at home.

A Simple Structure for Consistent

At-Home Training

The 300-Rep Method


This isn’t a program — it’s a structure.

  • 3 short sessions per week

  • ~100 reps per session (5 × 20)

  • One technique at a time

  • Clean reps before speed

Many grapplers struggle to progress at home not because they lack knowledge, but because reps are inconsistent.

Stability makes consistency possible.

It won’t replace live partners.

It replaces missed training opportunities.
