Here's another look at a full size sparring dummy I made years ago and recently repaired - originally showed it off over in the DIY equipment thread, and the "Life Protection System" thread rekindled my interest. Feel free to comment, critique, heckle. I'm in the early stages of a partial redesign using the existing model as a chassis.
Originally created as a solution to shiftwork and lack of sparring time, is reasonably articulated and can be used in a couple of modes. Used in conjunction with formal training, this widget noticeably improved my footwork application, sparring - esp knife work, as well as just plain being a lot of fun before the shoulders fell apart.
Lots of mumbling and some background info along with simple knife defense:
and some "closed door" and elbow up block and counters, the first punches it has thrown in over a decade:
