How to make a cheap Eskrima stick fighting training dummy

The first of two quick demo videos on how to put together an Eskrima training dummy using a couple of old tyres and a fence post. Bit of hard work involved but a lots less expensive than similar items you can buy and a lot easier to move than a stack of tyres.

[@cids1599]

This is the best rubber tire dummy ever!!! Looks like a Samurai in the front. I layered those crescent tire pieces front and back. Great workout dummy!!! Very impressive training tool.

[@nelsonvalentin4601]

Awesome,young man now a certain company is trying to sell something similar, but thanks for your sharing a lot of people are going to save money, all the best! NOW because of you I'm going to film some other training Device's let the fun begin! BTW I've been studying since 1968 ,so I've been at it awhile,was teaching at fort Bragg and then in Panama back in the 70's , saved me a couple of times here in NYC

[@jasonarnold5987]

Thank you very much Sir.

[@AdilsonPinheiro7339]

Man, the job is very good. I'll do mine. You are good. Thanks for the tip.

[@OnyxXThePunch]

I kind of want to adapt this for hema

[@kalicenter]

Very cool idea.

[@jasonarnold5987]

Thank you, much appreciated. I love your channel.

[@daverobbo27]

what an awesome idea

[@caydenhadfield7824]

Awesome! This will be awesome for kendo practicing and I could use it as a punching bob. Thx!

[@darkinner777]

Very nice, exactly what I was looking for !!!

[@florianadolf2256]

Great! This is exactly what I was looking for👍

[@khakicampbell6640]

I prefer cutting tires with a knife and hacksaw also. 👍 Using an angle grinder is only slightly quicker, but way gnarlier. (that smell is wretched) Nice build!

[@SenseiEli]

Great work!!!!

[@jasonarnold5987]

Thank you.

[@vagnerbenetito501]

Muito boa essa sua ideia de fazer um dummy de pneu de carro. Legal. Obrigado pela ideia.

[@jasonarnold5987]

....ok

[@ricomarangapalakawlogy]

Wow looks good,,,, combate!

[@jasonarnold5987]

I'd love to see some photos of 'El Diablo' dummies that have been made in other countries. Don't forget to send a photo to the JG Training Knives Facebook page.

[@HariOmRadhaKrishna]

Great idea for an E-K-A dummy. With the tools that I have, I think that I'll stick with 2 tires strapped onto a tree in my back yard.

[@Handalumaban]

I love your design. It is exactly what I was thinking of. LOVE IT. By the way what escrima style do you train in.

[@jasonarnold5987]

Thank you my friend. I am a student of Cacoy Canete Doce Pares.

[@Handalumaban]

@@jasonarnold5987 really..cool.. i trained doce pares for awhile too..still training?

[@jasonarnold5987]

@@Handalumaban not as much as I should be.

[@timnavarrette6932]

I would love to buy that from you man

[@jasonarnold5987]

Thanks mate, I don't really make them anymore but they're reasonably easy to make and inexpensive if you do it yourself.

[@willienewcomb4417]

I made one! Thank you for the video!

[@jasonarnold5987]

That's awesome, I'd love to see a photo. Feel free to send a photo of your work to the JG Custom Training Knives Facebook page. Cheers J

[@fazeplaylist]

Thank you for posting this! I was originally looking to build a tire tower to do some strength training with my sticks, but I came across this and it seems like it would fit better in my small space. However, I noticed that it tilts on impact, due to perhaps being more top heavy? How does it compare to a tire tower?

[@anupmohanta1188]

awesome dude thanks

[@charlietishaackerman3048]

Have you attempted to add "arms" to any of your designs? I think I am going to build a couple of these, Thanks for sharing!

[@jasonarnold5987]

Hi, in one of the other videos I have a spring mounted stick for Eskrima training but I haven't added arms myself. If you check out the JG El Diablo training dummies Facebook page you'll see some examples of arms that other people have come up with. Cheers J

[@warmachinebodybuilding]

Great job and video bro, compliment and super like by Warmachine bodybuilding of garage Gym italy

[@jozsefdeak-szinyeri3162]

epic gj :) !

[@buggzo]

Do you recommend this for open blade training? Will this damage the blade?

[@jasonarnold5987]

Hi, thanks for getting in touch. A tire dummy will withstand a live blade better than most other surfaces but I probably wouldn't recommend using your favorite knife.

[@andrewboreham6661]

ps you the man

[@jasonarnold5987]

haha thanks Andrew.

[@andrewboreham6661]

cool cool nice idear

[@LiquidLensPhotography]

What’s the sound like when you strike the target? Is it loud? I strike whole tires in my backyard but it makes a loud hollow sound that I think would disturb my neighbors. This looks like it might be quieter.

[@LiquidLensPhotography]

Great idea, tho!

[@jasonarnold5987]

It's definitely quieter than hitting whole tires. But it still makes a tapping sound. I think you can hear me striking the dummy on one of my videos.

[@LiquidLensPhotography]

Jason Arnold Thank you! I am going to try to make your design. Great idea!

[@erickluna287]

what are the measures of the tire please

[@jasonarnold5987]

The cut measurement or the actual tire size. Normal car or light truck tires are fine 4wd tires are too hard to deal with. The cut length measurements are on the El Diablo Facebook page. Cheers J

[@justbasictrainingjustbasic836]

What is the size of the tire? Excellent!

[@jasonarnold5987]

I normally try and use standard car tires for the head, shoulders and chest and four wheel drive tires for the body. But any tire will do really.

[@sionmarcsimpson7487]

Did you get to filming video of the base construction mate ? And thanks for sharing ;)

[@jasonarnold5987]

Siônmarc Simpson Yes mate, there's a video on my channel page thing on how to make a base for it.

[@sionmarcsimpson7487]

Thanks mate ;)
