The Mook Jong Construction Manual
Building Modern And Traditional Wooden Dummies On A Budget
by Michael D Janich

The mook jong, or wooden dummy, is one of the most versatile and effective martial arts training devices ever developed. Unfortunately, commercial dummies cost anywhere from $500 to more than $1,000 – well beyond the reach of the average martial artist. Now, thanks to this new book, anyone with some simple hand tools can make a wooden dummy for well under $100. Veteran martial artist Michael Janich takes you step-by-step through the process of building a traditional dummy that is proportionate to your height and reach, as well as constructing in-ground, wall-mounted and freestanding support platforms. He also shows you how to build his innovative Human Response dummy, a modern spring-loaded variant of the traditional dummy that provides almost human movement and allows the realistic practice of virtually any martial arts technique.

In addition to making his own martial arts equipment, noted martial arts author and instructor Michael Janich has designed and engineered everything from blowguns to knives, including the highly acclaimed Masters of Defense Tempest folding knife.

The Mook Jong Slam Set
Dynamic Wooden Dummy Training for All Martial Artists
with Sifu Joseph Simonet and Addy Hernandez

The mook jong, or wooden dummy, is the most versatile and effective training aid available to the martial artist. It allows a fighter to practice full-power blocks, strikes and kicks with the same realism as training with a partner, but unlike a training partner, it is never tired, sick, bored or injured. Sifu Joseph Simonet is a certified Master Instructor of kenpo, Tongkat Serak pentjak silat, Doce Pares escrima, Yang-style taijiquan and wing chun. In this dynamic two-disc set, Simonet shows you how he used wooden dummy training to perfect his practice of all these arts and ultimately forge them into an explosive synthesis called the "Slam Set." Simonet takes you step-by-step through the movements of the Slam Set and explains their traditional origins. He then puts theory into hard-core practice and teaches you how to use these movements to instantly destroy a street attacker. The key to discovery in the martial arts is self-discovery. Let the Slam Set show you what you've been missing.

Best-selling Paladin author Joseph Simonet is one of the most accomplished practitioners of the Indonesian art of Pentjak Silat in the United States. He is a certified instructor in five different martial arts systems and founder of Modern Pentjak Silat.
