(Stuffing a Grappling Dummy)
I bought a real grappling dummy to keep my other murder doll company and to provide weighted resistance in passing and side control during online training (Wa-hoo for my Combat Base membership!). I decided to stuff it with a 50 lbs. of whole corn and various household object to give it the most human feeling reactions. An empty murder doll is hungry murder doll.
Problem: If I just poured the corn straight into the dummy, it would pool in the freakishly long legs leaving my fighting a pair of 50 lb sentient pants instead of a humanoid susceptible to chokes, arm bars and getting punched in the face. Sentient pants may very well be a no win situation.
Solution: Fill a series of 'bean' bags with corn in the feet, hands, arms, articulated legs, etc., alternate with pool noodles in areas that need volume without weight, and a bit of polyfill keep the pieces from being lumpy!
But..... to make it REALLY realistic to fight..... I made the body corn bags in the shapes of human organs. For realism.
Stuffed viscera is absolutely a thing! I didn't even add weird faces to organs! (maybe next time)
The lungs are filled with pollyfill instead of corn so that I can feel the chest compress in side control!
Someday it may even win a match. It has a lot of heart. I know because I stuffed one in its chest cavity myself.
