Rapid Martial Kids Grappling Dummy 36-inch Black & Grey — Unfilled Canvas Training Partner for Children with Moveable Arms & Legs

Rapid Martial's 36-inch unfilled kids grappling dummy is a lightweight, movable training partner built for punches, throws, takedowns and submission practice.

This compact training dummy is designed to mimic the size and limb reach of a child-sized opponent, letting young athletes rehearse strikes, clinches, rolls and groundwork safely at home or in the gym. Made from durable canvas with articulated arms and legs, the dummy ships unfilled so you can customize weight and feel by stuffing spare clothes, shredded fabric or other soft filler through the back zipper.

How does this dummy help kids learn grappling and striking?

The Rapid Martial dummy gives youngsters a consistent target for repeating technique: from straight punches and uppercuts to knee strikes, sprawl drills and submission transitions. Its flexible limbs allow realistic holds, control drills and positional practice without a live partner.

• Moveable arms and legs for clinch and submission simulations
• Knee and elbow postures to practice turtle, sprawl and guard positions
• 36-inch length matches child reach for realistic timing
• Zippered back lets you control weight and compression

What filler should I use and how heavy should it be?

The dummy is intentionally unfilled so you can tailor weight and firmness to age and skill level. Light fillings like towels or T-shirts keep it safe for younger kids, while shredded fabric or denser cloth packs can raise resistance for older trainees.

• Recommended maximum fill weight: about 40 lbs (18 kg)
• Soft cloths for gentle impact and safer throws
• Shredded fabric provides more realistic body compression
• Fill through the back zipper for even distribution

How durable and easy to maintain is the dummy?

Constructed from sturdy canvas material, this dummy stands up to repeated striking and grappling while remaining simple to care for. If the exterior gets dusty or sweaty, wipe it down with a damp cloth; the removable zipper opening also allows easy inspection of the interior fill.

• Canvas outer shell resists abrasion from mats and shoes
• Zipper closure makes filling and repairs straightforward
• Spot-clean with mild soap — avoid machine washing
• Replace or adjust filler over time to maintain shape

Who is this for? This 3-foot Rapid Martial grappling dummy is ideal for parents, coaches and kids aged roughly 6–14 who want a safe, reusable training partner for basic striking, takedowns and groundwork. It suits martial arts classes, home practice and youth fitness programs where size-appropriate, affordable gear helps build confidence and consistent technique. For heavier or adult-level drills, consider a larger, purpose-built adult dummy.
