Wooden Dummy

This is an effort of mine that took me less than SGD$700 and about 6 months to complete. Wooden dummy is a traditional form of martial art training that is typically used by the Wing Chun style of fighting. Today, it has been commonly used in many other martial art form and making it on your own seems to be the only way to ensure high quality materials and craftsmanship.

Some unique features of my wooden dummy

Made of Balau wood (known for its properties in construction to withstand weathering and soaking in water, it will not rot on its own even when soaked in water for a long period.)
Anti-termite wood, Balau wood is very hard in its structure, thus termites will not be able to infest on it. Even if they infest on it, there will be no damages to the wood after a long time due its hardness. This wood was selected for that porperty due to Singapore's climate. In most places, they used wood like birch, oak, asian countries, we tend to get those made of maranti (red wood) which is one of the wood that is most susceptable to termite infestation. Thus with this wooden dummy, you will be rest assured that it will last many years.
Easy to set up frame, no nails or screws needed, all based on joints
Movable arms
Sturdy structure such that it will not collapse when practiced upon.
Well varnished for looks and elegance
100% hand crafted (with help of machines of course), but one and only unique piece in the world.
Built according to instructions detailed in Master Yip Mun's book on wooden dummy practices.
Arms and leg can be removed easily after practice. Such that it will not take up too much space. Installing the arms and leg is only less than a minute.

Singapore The Muk Yan Jong is a wooden dummy used in Chinese martial arts training. It is associated with the martial art of Wing Chun and other kung fu styles of Southern China. Traditionally made from wood, the dummies are now also made from modern constructs such as steel and plastic. In Wing Chun Singapore Wing Chun Dummy at a Wing Tsun schoolThe Wing Chun wooden dummy is the most popular form of wooden dummy. The Wing Chun wooden dummy uses an arm and leg configuration designed to cultivate fighting skill and chi simultaneously.[1] The Hong Kong wooden dummy is a wall mounted version of the Wing Chun Wooden Dummy that hangs using two wooden slats through the body of the wooden dummy. Older versions of the Wing Chun wooden dummy were originally placed in the ground. The modern design was created by Yip Man in Hong Kong to fit the needs of living in an apartment. The Wing Chun version of the muk yan jong has three arms and one leg, which represents an opponent's body in various positions and the lines of force the body can give out. The wooden slats on which the muk yan jong is mounted has a springiness that is similar to a human opponent's involuntary reaction and allows the user to practice absorbing energy into his/her stance. Due to this springiness, this type of dummy is considered an "alive" dummy. Therefore, the older version of the dummy without mounting is commonly called a "dead" dummy. Singapore In Jeet Kune Do Singapore Bruce Lee had also made and modified a Wing chun wooden dummy for his martial arts philosophy of Jeet Kune Do which had a modified neck and a metal leg. In Choy Lee Fut Ching Jong Choy Lee Fut's Ching Jong wooden dummyChing Jong (balanced dummy) has a different orientation to the arms more suited to Choy Lee Fut style's arm motions. In this version, the single top arm, protruding straight out from the front, moves up and down, anchored traditionally with a rope and heavy weight (the origin of the namesake) and anchored with a spring to the rear in modern times. Furthermore, the two middle arms now protrude outward in a "V", and also an additional lower arm that can be substitute with a traditional Wing Chun dummy's leg. Also, sandbags are mounted on the front and sides, which are struck for hand and finger conditioning, similar to makiwara. Sui Sau Jong Singapore The sui sau jong (breaking hand dummy) features a swinging arm around the shoulder level, hanging sandbags, as well as a rotor-like arm at the top, located at head height. The arms are coordinated so that striking the swinging arm causes the rotation of the helicopter arm, and vice versa. The main aim of this dummy is to train quick reactions for counterattacks. Ma Jong Singapore Unlike other dummies, the Ma Jong (horse dummy) is a moveable dummy. The overall shape of the dummy is a horse, with the main body of a heavy log carrying two frames, a tall one at front and the short one in the rear. Each frames are mounted with a horizontal crossbar that is perpendicular to the log, which has spring mechanism that are connected to the wheels. When pushed back, the horse dummy charges forward, forcing the students to control the dummy through a good stances. Furthermore, as the two horizontal arms are interlocking spinning arms, this also train coordinations and speed. Singapore Other dummys used in Choy Lee Fut includes the Cheung Bau Jong (墻包樁) (A sand bag on wall, basically a makiwara), Sah Bau Jong (沙包樁) (a Sand Bag Apparatus, with one main heavy sandbag connected to two other sandbag on its side through a pulley system), and other mechanical dummies.
