I just got it today 2-03-2012 Im happy with it! Funny how I pull up to my house to find a semi truck parked in front making the delivery. This is not a joke... The dummy is good for guard passing and butterfly guard work. The arms are in a weird position and are stiff as heck, hopefully they will loosen over time. Overall Im happy with the purchase.

got mine on 2-07-2012 & im very happy i have it. I would have to concur with the previous review except i went to pick mine up as i did not want to wait for the delievery as they called to schedule a delievery. Little did i know it was strapped down to a wooden crate as it was extremely heavy ( had a buddy help me load it into my car) but back to the dummy. very good to pratice your top game such as side control to north-south, kesa-gatme, mount & just flat out shifting back & forth from position. It's a little difficult to work with it from YOUR GUARD as it is very heavy & not easy to manuever but with time you can adjust that. & like the previous reviewer stated, hopefully the arms will loosen up just a tad as they are kinda of stiff, but overall workable. I would say im very pleased with my purchase & will find ways to use this as much as possible, hell even use it as a workout equipment ( mma workout ) & forsee alot of uses from this. A little pricey but a worthy investment to your training, especially if you can't make to class or want to go that extra mile on that technique you can't quite get down. Overall, i would say im very happy i was able to get this. Hopefully in the near future, they can make this model in a slightly less weight ( 70 or 55 ibs ?)

SAVE YOUR $$$$. I recently received my submission dummy and I'd have to say that I'm less than pleased. The positives are the same as the other users, but the fact that the arms are so stiff is a huge let down to me. It says you can practice arm locks, but they're so stiff and stuck in position there is no way to practice them with good technique. 100lbs isn't a bad weight, but it does make it a little difficult to move from position to position. Also, mine stinks like the inside of it is full of mildew. I've contacted Zebra mats telling them how dissatisfied I am with the purchase and would like to send the dummy back. Now let's see how long it takes for them to respond... I'll keep everyone posted. I would look into buying a Bubba Dummy. Once I return this thing, that's what I'm going to do. More expensive yes, but the fact that the joints are flexible makes it look like a much better investment.
