The Mook Jong Construction Manual Book by Michael Janich (Preowned)

The mook jong, or wooden dummy, is one of the most versatile and effective martial arts training devices ever developed. Unfortunately, commercially made wooden dummies usually cost anywhere from $500 to more than $1,000 - well beyond the reach of the average martial artist. Now, thanks to this new book anyone with some simple hand tools and a few hours to spare can make a wooden dummy for well under $100.

In the The Mook Jong Construction Manual, veteran martial artist Michael Janich takes you step by step through the process of building a traditional dummy that is proportionate to your height and reach, as well as a variety of in-ground, wall-mount ed, and freestanding support platforms. Janich also teaches you how to build his innovative Human Response dummy, a modern spring-loaded variant of the traditional dummy that provides almost human movement and allows the realistic practice of virtually any martial arts technique. Now you can have the perfect training partner by building him yourself.
