• The freestanding wooden dummy is a great dummy for those who live in an apartment as there is no damage to walls. There is also no noise and neighbors would most likely not be disturbed. However, the free-standing dummy lacks stability, but it is good for the people who live in a small space. 
• An ideal dummy for home training as it is more compact than the traditional wooden dummy. The wall mount wooden dummy keeps the dummy in place and offers you great stability. But the back bar allows you to adjust as per your comfort level. This wall mount wooden dummy is available at the e-commerce platforms at the best rates. 
• Another wooden dummy is a dummy with a recoil stand. It will always recoil to the centre position after being released. What this means is that deflection of the arms when blocked gives energy back towards the student. The role of recoil in this dummy to absorb energy and push it back. What this creates a better feeling for what real-life contact would like to be.
