For the longest time I have been interested in purchasing a training dummy. This sort of training implement is something I knew that I would find very useful. I am very much a self starter, as well as an occasional recluse. In addition, I have chronic injuries that I do not care to exacerbate. Mind you, this description does not fit you, it certainly doesn't preclude you from purchasing such a helpful training tool. It was my hope to give the most unbiased, yet informed and educated opinion on this piece of gear that has been very important in my recent improvements as a jūjutsu practitioner.
Things I did not address: Although I mentioned the shortness of legs, The dummy would suit a shorter person as well. You can use this dummy as a striking dummy as well. It comes with a harness in order to suspend it in case you were working on Imanari rolls, etc. Although I didn't demonstrate this, you can certainly set the dummy up to practice escapes, as well as pretty much any other technique you can dream of. The dummy will not stand up on its own unless it is 1. Possessed by an evil spirit, or 2. Suspended with the harness the Smarty company sells. I don't own one so I can't comment on how well it works, but Patrick (the owner of the company) has a video where he is doing brilliantly performed Imanari rolls.
I started my jūjutsu journey in 1994. I am a Valente Brothers Black Belt and a lifelong martial artist who also trains in the Piper knife system. I am also a university guitar professor (please feel free to check out my CZcams channel @Streetwise Guitar.

I spend about 30-45 minutes training with a grappling dummy before I go train live. Really gets my mind and body ready.
So sorry for the long delay in responding. Yes that's a great idea and you probably do really well because of that right?
How does it transfer for you. Do u feel its helping yr technique?
@@JonesCoolAid it’s good for drilling moves over and over to build muscle memory. It’s good for working on your squeeze in various submissions because you can squeeze as long and hard as you want to, the dummy doesn’t care. You can train yourself to stay heavy in all places as you transition from place to place on the dummy. Another thing I do is work offense
@@JonesCoolAid offense by moving the dummy around and thinking “if we end up in this place, what are my best attacks….” Then I practice those.
@@Auditgod thank u my friend, very helpful
this guy has been training bjj since i was 14. this man is dangerous lol. hell yea, old man bjj unite!!!!
Very nice and thorough review. I'm 6ft 4 and your video helped me know the shortcomings of how this dummy would work with that dummy.
Husky! There will be a NEW 6'2 dummy avail. SOON!!!!I hope they send it down so I can make review of it!!!
Thanks for sharing, Pádraig! Great video, and happy you're enjoying the SMARTY! 👍

100% game changer!
Great review! I just ordered the Smarty XL measuring 6”2.
I'm sure you got it by now! Amazing isn't it?
Awesome, you can work tecniques from a lot of positions, and nice transitions by the way. Oss
Thanks so much for your support! Just an old guy trying to keep moving! ;-)
I need this for my .....training
Yes for training 😳
Thank you for the nice review! 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Looks good. I wonder of they will make one a bit bigger(heavier, taller)
Great honest review
I really enjoy my smarty
Me too!
i love how the dummy matches the couch lol
😂😂
what a great grappler. had to sub
Padraig! Great review & very cool to hear the Irish accent!
I'm in a similar-ish boat in that life means I can't & won't be able to get to the gym as much as I want going forward... I'm a life long Gaelic footballer who found martial arts just over two (covid) years ago. I'm chasing time (42 now in May; just had my first novice MMA fight) & I realise solo training will need to be a (big) part of my practice going forward; I/we can't be away out of the house every evening training jiu-jitsu!!
I bought an unfilled dummy/'corpse' during Lockdown, but the filling process near broke my heart + I just couldn't get it right. I'm seriously considering buying a filled SMARTY & getting it shipped to Ireland... Expensive I know, but I'm thinking it could turn out to be priceless!
Thoughts?
First off, Go raibh míle maith agat! I worked VERY hard to get this done the right way. I wish it was my lighting was a wee bit better, but this is all I could do.
Defo... BUY IT! You will not regret it. The dummy has really changed my abilities in a positive way. Spend the cash. It's TOTALLY worth it, especially if you're a motivated guy. Thanks again!!!!!!
PS Be certain to use the discount code. It'll save you a few bob! If you do buy it, every once in a while inspect the stitching. You want to catch any aberrations before they happen.
PS if you'd like to text me you can reach me @streetwiseguitar on IG
Great video, very informative. Thanks !
Glad it was helpful!apologies for taking so long to get back to you. My main CZcams channel is really taking up all of my time. I will be posting the new video which reviews/compares the 2.0 and the 2.0 XL. If you hit the notification bell you should be able to be notified when I post it
@@k.padraigokane1472 cool. Thank you !

Glad it was helpful!
thank you for the review
Pleasure. Sorry for the late response.
awesome
great instruction 🙏🙏👊👊💣💣
Thank you 🙌
can You use it to do standing techniiques like throws?
Nice man!!!
You d'man!!!
Great video, thanks for doing it! Did yours come pre-filled?
These come unfilled far as i know
Big apologies for not getting back to you on your question. I don't really use this channel much/it's not my main channel, so it's my fault that I neglected the comment section. Yes mine did come pre-filled and I wouldn't do it any other way. It is such a pain in the hole to fill it yourself. So I figured I'll just let the professionals do it so I can have hands that are not sore and patience that's not worn!
They come filled or unfilled
@@k.padraigokane1472 no worries and thanks for getting back to me. I got a Fairtex Maddox in the end.
good video. Thanks for this. Do you have your chronic injuries from BJJ?
100% YES... Unfortunately.
totally getting one when 2.0 is out
Did you put your order in yet? Remember if use my discount code it will take a few bucks off of the order! I highly recommend getting it pre-filled!
@@k.padraigokane1472 not yet. still planning on it. ill keep the code in mind. thanks
Great video
Thanks, Frank. Sorry for the late response
I heard they made the legs a bit longer on the smarty 2, is this a smarty 2 version ?
Yes! they did... for both models
@@k.padraigokane1472 I’m 5,11 but I just don’t have room for the bigger version. Defo getting the smarty 2 though. Your discount code still work?
Hi loved the video what was the shipping cost or import duty costs if shipped to the uk ?
Not sure. I would encourage you to contact them. Also Sorry for the long delay.
have you tried the submission master or proboxing model grappling dummies? I’m leaning towards this smarty one but before I make the investment I wanted to ask someone like you that has more experience with these. Thanks so much.
Ryan, apologies for taking so long to get back to you. My main CZcams channel is really taking up all of my time. No I haven't tried those other two, but after having used the smarty 1.0 and now the 2.0 and 2.0 XL I would have to say I would simply just stick with the smarty brand! I will be posting the new video which reviews/compares the 2.0 and the 2.0 XL. If you hit the notification bell you should be able to be notified when I post it
Wonderful
Thank you! Cheers!
I’ve owned a unique 50 lbs dummy for over 20 years. What most trainees need to understand is that dummy’s need to be approached as more of an academic tool for learning and refining techniques. As a “Workout” apparatus, it’s not ideal; in other words reppping to exhaustion
100%!!!!!!
2.0 worth it or 1.0?
Sorry for the late reply… This is not my main channel! I will be getting the 2.0 momentarily and then I will also be making a video. The 1.0 is discontinued so there is no option to choose one or the other.
