🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.

Both reviewers praise Bob the Dummy, stating they're excellent for conditioning and practicing different punches and techniques when you are unable to attend physical classes or sessions. The product is described as durable, realistic, and efficient, allowing them to push their boundaries and intensify their training. One reviewer even commended it for helping him lose fat while the other has found noticeable improvement in his punches.

Pros

  • 🥊 Bob is durable and can withstand strong punches and kicks.
  • 🏋️‍♂️ Pain-free way to lose or maintain weight in a fun manner.
  • 💡 Perfect for practicing different techniques you've learned or to mimic the style of professional athletes.
  • 🚀 Fast and adjustable setup; easy to move around.

Cons

  • 🥴 Head shots seem to be less pleasing than body shots due to the physics involved.
  • 🎯 You need to focus where you are kicking to avoid hitting the hard plastic base.
  • 🤸‍♀️ Base tends to wobble and move around, which could be inconvenient if you have limited space.

Should I Buy It?

If you take your conditioning seriously and want an enjoyable, physical activity beyond just running or jumping rope, purchasing Bob the Dummy seems like a terrific idea. According to the reviewers, it requires boxing gloves and some practice to avoid minor inconveniences, but overall, they highly recommend it for all martial arts, boxing, or training regimens.

    • Why didn't I buy this thing a long time ago? It's Awesome!!
Style: BOB XL
Wow where can I start? Its life size and adjustable. so you can simulate fighting someone taller or shorter then you. The base is huge, and when its full of water it makes this thing sturdy but it does give it a kick back so it feels real when you hit it. The body is dense and slightly squishy so it doesn't hurt when you hit it full impact with bare knuckles. When you kick it in the sides with round kicks it feels great, I love seeing the six pack so you can target perfectly right where the stomach is. And the best part, you can grab it by its head, pull it down and give it a good knee to the stomach, chest or head. I never had to do that to someone but man it makes you really imagine how good that must feel. You can do so much more with this thing then a normal punching bag. Punching it in the face just feels awesome. The best part is you don't have to mount it from the ceiling so it works great for being in a house. For those of you with anger issues, get one of these and tear it up It took about 8 minutes to fill up with water using a garden hose. It's very realistic looking I am just amazed. The muscles, and face have some pretty freaky details. Negatives: Jumps around (moves) when you hit it hard so it requires you to have to move it back which gets distracting. I took a 3 foot board and set it on the floor between the base and the wall (wood panel around the floor/wall to stop this. Also what works well is grabbing it by the head while you're in beat it up mode and it moves back on its own magically. on another note: It will scare you or your friends coming in the house late at night. Looks like some mean buff dude is in your house. Might come in handy for Halloween ha. I love this thing, best work out ever, you can take out some aggression, practice your martial arts kicking/punching and body conditioning for you legs/feet and knuckles. I have never seen anything like it, best purchase i've made in a long time related to exercising. ... show more

    • Very good, excellant training aid
Style: BOB XL
I purchased Bob XL to practice Krav Maga when I'm not in class. I have found this to be a way to stay sharp between classes. Of course you can't do everything with Bob like in a class setting with a live partner, than again there are some punches I can do to Bob I can't do to a live partner. To fill Bob I used a plastic gallon milk jug, just cut the bottom off turned upside it down, sits right in the fill hole and used a bungee cord wrapped around the plastic part that Bob sits in and the handle of the milk jug, filled it with 5 50lb bags of play sand. The sand was very dry (like everything else this Summer in Texas) so it took me by myself maybe 10 minutes at the most to fill. The plastic milk jug never moved and made pouring in the base a snap. Also, you will see on the Amazon page a green funnel, that does not come with it. One of the other folks bought that at a local Auto store for $5.00 dollars and posted the picture of what he used to fill the base with sand. It looks misleading because the picture is right next to picture of Bob XL. In many of the reviews I can tell that folks though that came with it. I have Bob in my garage in my apartment, and yes you can and will rock the base with good punches so you have to have him in a place that won't bother others. Punching his head doesn't quiet feel exactly right, but if you punch at his chin than a bit more life like feel, than higher up, still very good target practice! I can use Bob like a punching bag if I raise him up and punch into his chest. I'm only 5'7 155 pounds, so I would say if you are a big guy with some weight to boot I don't know if you would be satisfied with just having Bob, maybe have a 100lb heavy bag also. For me though at my size Bob works fine for that. Wear gloves, I use the Century Adults' Leather Martial Arts Wrap Gloves I use in Krav Maga for hitting, they work well, just sized a little small, so you need to test fit them, along with any glove really unless you've used them before. I found them at a local Academy Sports here in Texas. So I have found Bob XL to be an excellent investment, the shipping was very fast, ordered on a Thursday afternoon, got him from Fed Ex the following Monday afternoon. I run a lot, so on days in between running I'll go out into my garage for an hour and give Bob a beating, I do a variety of 2 minute drills similar to drills we do in class to get my heart rate up and to push myself, and I always come way drenched, so you can get a excellent workout if you push yourself. I have also noticed my punches are getting much stronger and I gotten into even better shape using Bob. I practice a variety of punches, elbows, and all the different techniques we use in Krav Maga, side kicks, you do have to be careful with front kicks if you kick too low, you could hit the plastic Bob sits on (In Krav we really don't focus on high kicks like in other MMA's do) I've been trying to find something that I can wrap around that area (between Bob and the base) to cushion that area so I don't bust a toe if I miss kicking Bob in the groin, haven't found anything I'm satisfied with yet. So I am very satisfied with my purchase of Bob XL, and I would certainly get the XL over the smaller Bob, worth the extra money. So if you use Bob he will make an excellent training tool, if you don't.... Well it's not like the rails on the sides of a tread mill that you can hang cloths on. Then again I guess you could use Bob has a mean looking mannequin, and like someone else said, very useful for Halloween! If your serious about whatever kind of Mixed Marital Arts, Boxing, or training you are doing, I would highly recommend Bob XL. ... show more

    • Love the set. Everything was as described.
Style: BOB XL & Wavemaster
Review Image by KM KM
I don’t know what to add that other people already haven’t (about set up, water vs. sand, etc.). I will say it arrived days before the delivery date, packaged appropriately, no damage, exactly as expected. I am very pleased with the set. It’s better than I expected really. Because of some reviews about his head being too soft, it moving around too much, or being too loud, I was hesitant prior to purchasing. I live on the upper floor of a condo building so this was a small concern for me. But it’s not loud at all imo. Putting it on top of foam padding also helps (and looks better :) ). For me and my size, it’s perfect for what I need right now. I am not a large powerful man. I am a tall woman. The entire setup is perfect for me, weight is perfect at my level. I’m just starting out with Mauy Thai and find it extremely useful and helpful to review what I learn in class/training more, at home. It’s helpful with body conditioning, endurance, cardo at home, reviewing what you learned that day or week in training. Anyway, it’s been around for a long time. As a newbie, I recommend this set, find it valuable, and am happy with the purchase and shipping process from this seller. ... show more

been working with BOBs for over 20 years in Dojo, loved it. several BOBs (regular/XL) in dojo are getting old, so I broke down and got it for my personal use. XL is my preference, it still has great quality. looking forward to another 2 decades of training. I used empty milk jug with bottom cut out to put the sand in as recommended by another reviewer. It works well. ... show more

These are awesome for specific strikes. This is my second one. I had one for 20 years, and sold it still in good condition. Thought I was done, but I’m not. 😎
