what the experts say about our dummies:
We understand the requirements that a martial art training aid needs. Our products are designed and tested by Martial Artists, and proven by LAW ENFORCEMENT ACADEMIES so that we can provide the best equipment that your money will ever buy. Don't be fooled by lower priced products with inferior quality. Our dummies are tough and built to last! But, don't just take our word for it; read what the pros have to say about our training dummies. Our department ordered seven of the police model, Blue Man Training
Dummies approximately five years ago. These dummies have withstood an
unbelievable amount of use over the years, and have held up far beyond
our initial expectations. We originally purchased dummies from another
company, and found that they just were not holding up to the demands we
were putting them through. Some were breaking after only a handful of
training sessions.
I have been using a 60lb big blue dummy for about three years now.
I use it as a supplement to my actual judo training when I cant
make it to the dojo. ( Im a full time firefighter, husband and father
of three) I recently took two silver medals in the recent World Firefighter
Games for Judo, held in Liverpool UK. I was the only USA representative
for Judo. I took silver in the -100kg division and in the 0ver 35 -100kg
division. Anyway I am very happy with your product and would like to write
a testimonial for you. I know you have some big names that have done that
but I thought you might want an everyday guy write one. Since I have started
using my Big Blue Dummy as a training supplement I have gone on to win
my 5th ID state Judo championship, I am the 2008 Yorkshire and Humberside
Judo champion and of course now the two silver medals at the WFG08. Fred
LeMond is my former college coach and I believe he has written a testimonial
for you. Well here are some pictures of the event. Im the one with
a shaved head. Keep up the good work. I would like send you this letter stating how effective your Rugged
Red Drag-Rescue Dummy has been to our Fire Department. We have been using
drag dummies for over 20 years and yours is the most durable, reinforced,
and human-like that we have ever used. Rugged Red has held up superbly
to the rigors of annual testing, recruit academies, oncoming exams and
fire science students. We appreciate your development of a great product
and your commitment to the fire service. Incorporating Rugged Red into
our Rapid Entry Team program has been a benefit to our personnel and a
positive experience. I strongly recommend the use of a Rugged Red Drag-Dummy
to any fire department. In October of 07, Wyoming Medical Center conducted
a drill that involved receiving patients because of a simulated chemical
assault here in Casper. During that drill, personal property were damaged
and a couple of volunteers became extremely cold. -Mike W. Magee, Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, Wyoming Medical Center We still use the old 30 pound Big Blue Dummy that I purchased
from O.K. Fine Products in the mid 90s! It is still used by Police
departments and Fighters at the Massachusetts Submission Academy. Big
Blues toughest test of durability was control scenarios where Big
Blue is being pulled hard by multiple Officers pulling against multiple
subjects. After neck, joint locks, and the focus of tug or war
type scenarios Big Blue stands the test of time! Big Blue
is a high quality product.
I'm well know for my throws in competitions such as ESPN 2 Strike Force and K-1 super fights. Your training partner can only take so much abuse but when you have these dummies to train with you can really develop powerful throws. I use the dummies any chance I get to, it has enhance my throwing techniques and wrestling condition.-Cung Le, October 2004 "Big Blue has been used in the mat room, as well as on a live fire range. Your training dummy has been kicked, punched, thrown, tackled, slammed, choked, dragged and stomped. I've used steel batons and steel toe shoes. I've shot Big Blue with paintballs at close range without any showing of damage or wear. I believe your close attention to detail will ultimately save the lives of many law enforcement officers."-Bryan Jang, September, 2004
-Ahmed Khago, 3rd Place World Masters Judo Championship, July 2001
I got my dummy on Monday. It's great! I put him in a gi and some old chemical warfare boots for protection. He gave me such a good workout that I had sore muscles. His head has just the right amount of resistance for strikes; I tried hooking slaps, elbows, headbutts and boxing combinations. I showed it to Burton Richardson, my JKD instructor, and he was impressed. Now if I can get him to buy a couple for our school because it's hard to find anyone who'll let me throw them full-power on concrete floors with 1.5 inch mats, he he he. Thanks for a great product. -Shelton Yamashiro, Customer, March 2001
I purchased a Big Blue about five years ago and my dojo, The Metro Fight Club, and I have been using it ever since. It is great! -Walter A. Lamb, Fourth Dan Judo, Coach-Metro Fight Club, January 2001
"To be the best you must train with the best. You have all heard that. It's also true with training equipment. That's why I use BIG BLUE! This is one of the best pieces of training equipment that I have ever used. To be the best, use the best." -Bart Vale, World Shootfighting Champ and Olympic Coach
"After countless hours of heavy use, the dummy showed no signs of breaking, wearing down, or getting tired. Even the heavily used areas such as the neck, arms and legs showed no signs of wearing out. I had my students punch and kick the dummy as hard as they could. Despite the beating, the dummy kept on ticking." -Mike Young, Martial Arts Training, May 1999
"I've got to give the dummy an enthusiastic two thumbs up. It is an excellent training device for any grappler, regardless of how much experience you have. In addition, its a superb training tool for the puncher and kicker. You can't go wrong with this dummy. You'll improve your skills by leaps and bounds." -Mike Young, Martial Arts Training, May 1999
"Recruits can now practice lethal techniques without fear of injury. The dummies are extremely well made and durable and have exceeded our wildest expectations." -Land Force Central Command, Canadian Army (Uses the Big Blue series for hand to hand combat and sentry elimination)
"We have used our dummies for 8 to 11 hours a week for the last 2 years and they still look like new." -Bart Vale, World Shootfighting Champ and Olympic Coach
"Using the dummies has increased the students' techniques by over 45%." -6th Degree Judo Black Belt, Fred LeMond, National and International Judo Competitor (Has all of his students train with the 60# Big Blue and the Kid's Dummy)
"In my opinion, the grappling dummies from OK Fine Productions are the best training aids I have ever seen for ground control techniques and takedowns. I highly recommend them for police departments who are training their officers in Ground Control." -Detective Dante Diotalevi, of the Emeryville, California Police Department (Using the Big Blue Dummies for all Tactical Training Seminars)
"Thanks to Big Blue I can now practice techniques without killing my partner. These dummies are great for practicing sweeps and throws, because of the self supporting legs. At the same time the legs will bend if you want to roll with the Blue Dude." -Sal Ambrosino, Product Tester, and Martial Arts Instructor
