Ulti-mate Wing Chun dummy review
If you train Wing Chun and take it seriously, the chances are you will own a Wing Chun dummy or you’ll want one. These days, there are lots of Wing Chun dummies on the market and some can be purchased for pretty cheap. However, this isn’t always a good thing – and if you’re serious about training for the long run, then you may want to consider buying an Ulti-mate dummy. The reason for this is due to the quality, which in my opinion is yet to be matched.
As someone that has trained Wing Chun for years, I thought I would buy one of these and test it out. Although these aren’t the cheapest around, I had heard good things about Ulti-mate so I thought I’d see what the hype is about. Thankfully, this purchase turned out well and I am very happy with it. My main reason for buying this was to train at home as going to the dojo isn’t always an option if you’re busy.
The Ulti-mate company has been making Wing Chun dummies for years and it’s what they specialize in. As a result, you get what you pay for. For instance, Ulti-mate hand make their dummies in the UK and uses sustainable wood to do so. This isn’t exactly a cheap dummy shoddily made in China and they can’t really be compared to most Wing Chun dummies.
Because the dummies are hand made, you can choose the specifications to tailor to your own needs and height requirements. This is especially useful if you’re particularly taller than the average person – as no other Wing Chun dummy out there will really offer this option. Talking of customization, you can also get different types of colors which is a nice bonus.
When it comes to using the dummy, it’s very easy and won’t lose its balance. It’s also easy to assemble and transport which means you can train inside and outside if you desire. Basically, if you could dream up a Wing Chun dummy then this would be the result.
Anyway, with no bias at all, I can say this is hands-down the best dummy I’ve ever used and the quality is incredible. In other words, if you’re willing to invest in this dummy, then it’s well worth it and will last forever.
In summary, the Ulti-mate Wing Chun dummy is a must for those wanting the best quality dummies available. Overall, the entire process from buying to delivery is very simple, quick, and high quality. So, if you’re looking for a good dummy that will last long and can take a beating then the Ulti-mate is well worth a consideration. My final verdict? If you can afford it then this dummy is a 5/5
