I trained on the traditional Mook Jong for a number of years and became frustrated by the limitations in training caused by the rigidity of the arms as well as the tight placement of the arms to the chest. It seemed to have been designed for someone very small framed. The arm configuration confined all technique to a small area and did not allow for the bigger and broader western practitioner. My trapping and flow techniques were confined to a small space and any creativity was restricted by the lack of dummy arm movement. I found when working with a real person I needed true feedback on how his arms would react to my direct and angled pressure, so I could respond accordingly. The Mook Jong made me adapt my techniques to it, rather than give me freedom of flowing expression. These limitations of the Mook Jong motivated me to design and build something that added to my creativity rather than stifle it.
All the DeMile Spring Loaded Dummys were designed and will be made by James DeMile and are made of tubular steel and high density body and head sponge and can easily be disassembled for storage in a small area. The basic dummy has three arms and can fit into a doorway or be permanently installed. The outer arms can be removed and a high center arm can be installed for centerline training. The dummy is designed for light to moderate knee or groin kicks. The variety of models, four arm and groin with two legs is to offer a broader option for training. All models can be used with the timers. Please direct any questions to Sijo DeMile.
