The Dirty Secret of the Grappling Dummy Industry
Most grappling dummies — including ones selling for several hundred dollars — are essentially DIY projects. You stuff them yourself with pool noodles, polyfill, and old clothes. When the filling shifts over time, you open it back up and restuff it. Then do it again.
That’s not a training tool. That’s a maintenance project with a price tag.
The Submission Master has been doing it differently for over 20 years. Every dummy leaves our USA facility professionally filled to precise density — approximately 80-85 lbs — and ready to train on from day one.
No stuffing. No restuffing. No maintenance cycles. Just serious drilling, session after session.
Built Like Professional MMA Equipment — Because It Is
There’s a reason the Submission Master has been the gold standard for over two decades.
The same USA manufacturer that produces professional MMA and boxing equipment builds and fills every Submission Master to the same professional standard:
- Professionally filled at our USA facility to precise density
- Approximately 80-85 lbs — heavy enough to provide real resistance
- 1000D Cordura outer shell
- Reinforced seams engineered for high-rep drilling
- Lace-up assembly — set it up once and train indefinitely
This is what separates professional training equipment from a dummy filled with pool noodles and old clothes — whether someone else stuffed it or you did it yourself.
You buy it once. You set it up once. Then you train.
One thing worth knowing: Because the Submission Master is filled to professional density, it has a short break-in period.
After that it holds its shape and resistance session after session — unlike DIY-filled dummies that start soft and only get worse over time.
The Submission Master Sits Upright in Guard. That Matters.
Here’s something most grappling dummy buyers don’t realize until after they’ve purchased.
In BJJ, your opponent in guard starts upright. You have to break their posture down. That’s the first half of the drill — and in many ways the most important half. It’s what opens up your attacks.
Most grappling dummies fold forward by default. So every rep you do starts with posture already broken. You’re skipping the setup and drilling only the finish.
Some dummies can’t sit upright in guard at all without an expensive ceiling mount add-on.
The Submission Master’s design allows it to sit upright in guard — so you can train against a postured up opponent, the way it actually happens on the mat, rather than an opponent who already has his head on your belly.
No ceiling mount. No workarounds. No skipped reps.

What Serious Grapplers Are Saying
“I can practice Jiu-Jitsu moves for hours when there’s no class. My techniques are actually showing up in live rolls.”
— Marc Montis, Virginia
“In two weeks I’ve drilled hundreds of armbars, triangles, and sweeps. My training just leveled up.”
— Andy O’Neill, UK
“It holds up during drilling and lets me work through transitions without constantly resetting.” — Roy Johnson, Ohio
“I’ve tried them all. The Submission Master is the benchmark — everything else feels lighter and less usable.” — William McBroom, Maryland
Common Questions
Q1: How heavy is it and why does that matter?
A: The Submission Master is approximately 80-85 lbs, professionally filled at our USA facility.
That weight gives it real resistance during drilling and keeps it from tipping easily. Its design is what allows it to sit upright in guard — so you can train against a postured up opponent, the way it actually happens on the mat, rather than an opponent who already has his head on your belly.
Q2: Does it arrive ready to train?
A: Yes. It’s professionally filled at the factory — no stuffing required. The only setup is lacing the vest that connects the head and arms section. Most people are training within minutes of opening the box.
Q3: Do I need to restuff it?
A: No. Because the Submission Master is professionally filled to precise density, the internals hold their structure under repeated pressure. This is one of the key differences between professional-grade equipment and DIY-filled dummies, which shift and compress over time and require periodic restuffing.
Q4: What positions can I train?
A: Guard, mount, side control, north-south, turtle, sprawl, and transitions between them.
Q: Is it built in the USA?
A: Every Submission Master is built and filled in the USA using professional-grade materials, reinforced seams, and a 1000D Cordura outer shell — by the same manufacturer that produces professional MMA and boxing equipment.
Q: What about shipping and returns?
A: $647 includes free shipping in the continental US. Typically ships within 1-3 business days. 30-day returns accepted in new condition. $95 restocking fee applies. Return shipping is paid by the buyer.
