Any recommendations for a good grappling dummy for solo training, best one for BJJ, Best for Wrestling and best for both!

I've got this one (photo attached) in the 90lbs version. Had it for at least 9 years now. I think it's great. Of course you have to be realistic about how much you can do with it. I make a point of using it regularly because as you know most things end up sitting in a corner if we don't consciously make an effort to use them. I paid about $450 US Dollars for it back then. Still holding up even though I've had to duct tape some parts of it over time. For me it was a great investment.

I just ordered one (Unfilled) and it is coming sunday. that's the trouble with most of them, they are unfilled and you have to fill them. With it, i actually bought 100lbs of rags to fill it with. No way i have 100 lbs of stuff to put in it. But I am planning on this home isolation going on for another 2-4 months (maybe longer). so what else are you going to do if you want to train jiu jitsu?

I’ve thought seriously about doing the same thing. Be careful on stuffing the unfilled ones. I’ve heard that it’s easy to overstuff limbs and end up busting the stitches.

I have the Ju Sports large Dummy, and honesty, right now I've been soooo happy I picked the thing up. I've been training with it daily since the pandemic started. It's actually been really great for working on my Takedowns. If the pandemic goes on for a few months, I'm going to get my judo blackbelt in record time.

Anyone have an unfilled one that you put in the washing machine?
If you put it in a Gi, and wash the Gi regularly, its generally not a problem.
