e-bogu sells two types: http://www.e-bogu.com/2lesihidu.html and http://www.e-bogu.com/hushhidu.html.

I bought the Human Shape Hitting Dummy for myself, not a bad piece of steel, just strapped the bogu to it and then strike it until your hands are numb.


Surrender to Kendo and let no steal your dreams.

practice dummy
 

I have been all over the web in search of a striking dummy or pic's of one, to give me some ideas about buying or building one. If anyone has any idea where I might find one it would be greatly appreciated.

$600!!!

*faints*

Thanks for the inputs. I got a price from one supply place of $900. US. I'm going to try to make my own. If it come's out ok, I might post some pics for others to see.

if you go to Kendoshop.com you can order a hitting dummy for about $450 US + shipping/taxes etc..

Thats a lot of money! We here at our club have built our own dummy for about $200 Cdn. At the moment the only targets are Men, Tsuki, and Do...but hey it works, and we love it!

If anyone is interested, e-mail me (Quinlan@mathstat.dal.ca) and i'll assemble some details for you on how we built it. We've been meaning to put a section about it on our website. Anybody interested in that?

You might take a look at my Kendo practice dummy on YOUTUBE,..just look up GRIdesignworks 2010 kendo practice dummy. Contact me for more information @ GRIdesignworks@gmail.com.

Go to YOUTUBE and look up GRIdesignworks kendo training dummy. You might find it useful. If it seems too expensive (I usually have about 40 hrs in them), then maybe I can give you some ideas on building one yourself, maybe without all of the welding and motions.

Hi Folks,
Have a look at Best Kendo they have two kinds that you can make yourself or buy. The plans are pretty good. You get Both Do, Kote and Do practice.

Hi,-

I'll try and figure out how to post a pic on here or a link, We make a kendo practice dummy that has 4 strike points and movements on YOUTUBE under GRIdesignworks kendo practice dummy. -- That may not be for everyone,..my first dummy was a dead apple tree in the orchard with a cut up motorcycle tire for a do and men. -- I love designing them and building them,..but still the important thing is to practice. I will try and post some more simple ideas once I figure out how to attach them here.
