Buick Yip  - "Fortunate Wood" Wing Chun Wooden Dummy

Important Notes: This is the Actual Dummy you will receive.  These dummies are shipped via UPS directly to your door.  All sales of these dummies are final.

About Buick's Dummies:

If you care about having the absolute best Wing Chun dummy available on the market today, bar none, then you must have a Buick Yip Wing Chun Wooden Dummy.  There is no question about it, for those that care about their Wing Chun and proper training, this is the ONLY dummy to buy.  No other even comes close.

Recently the old castle pillars and marble wood used to make these dummies ran out and Buick was going to retire from the dummy business.  I asked him to give it one more go and make about 50 more dummies for you guys before he retired. We tirelessly researched new woods and built several prototype dummies to test out before deciding on the new woods to use (see note on woods below).  We believe these new dummies are just as beautiful (if not more so) than the old ones and they will hold up even better.
 
The measurement of all the dummies are based on Wong Shun Leung's dummy made by Koo Sang.   Yip Man gave Koo Sang these measurements, and we guarantee you won't be able to tell the functional difference between your dummy and Wong Shun Leung's!  These dummies are made with the most accurate measurements of any dummy on the market today. 
 
The dummy has over dozens of measurements, but the basic measurements are:
  1. Diameter - 21 cm
  2. Length - 1.4 meters
  3. Arm length - 29.5 cm
  4. Distance between two top arms (from middle of arms tip) - 21 cm when open, 19 cm when close.
  5. From top of dummy to top of 1st opening - 25 cm
  6. From top of dummy to top of middle arm opening - 55.5 cm
  7. Dimension of arm holes - 4 cm
  8. Arms tip - 3.5 cm
  9. Arms base - 5.5 cm
  10. Top of the dummy leg from end to center of knee is 30 cm.
  11. From center of knee to bottom is 42 cm.
  12. Cross section of the leg is 7cm X 8 cm (approx.), and part at the knee is slightly bigger.
Average weight of the dummy trunk is about 70-80 lbs.

All dummies include two1.5 meter horizontal slats for mounting. 
 
All dummy legs are made of a solid Lai Chi nut tree branch.  The wood has a natural twist so the legs are in one piece and can stand kicking in practice without giving up.  The dummy arms are 30 cm length, and if you break the arms (or leg) Buick will replace them by postal mail at no extra cost.

A Note About the Woods Used:

Buick's dummies became famous, in part, because of the woods originally used for the trunks.  Initially the wood came from 300 year old castle pillars (the Dry Wood Dummies).  He also made a limited series of Marble Wood dummies, that came from the very rare and very hard twisted trees from the mountains of Japan.  As of March 2009 all the sources for these woods have dried up (the marble wood dried up over a year earlier and will not be available again until more trees mature).  However, Buick is constantly searching out new and unique woods for his dummies, and each dummy you get will be rare and unique.

This dummy is made from what translates as "fortunate" wood.  This wood has been tested in three areas: beauty (do they look great), density (will they hold up to repeated hard use), and dryness (chances of cracking in a different environment).  Every wood core we use has passed inspection in these areas.  The demand for this wood is high and the sources are scarce.  Avg weight is about 35kg or 80lbs.

As with all solid wood products special care must be taken to insure they do not split or crack over time.  Hairline cracks are normal in all solid wood products and are no reason for concern.  However, if care is not taken with solid wood products the wood can be damaged over time.  Your dummy will include care instructions that should be followed to insure you get a very long life out of your dummy.

Seapost Shipping:

Seapost shipping is a lot cheaper than UPS, but it takes up to 3 months for the dummy to be delivered once it ships, and there is no tracking and no insurance.  Also, there are only a few countries that will deliver via SeaPost, and they are:

Austria, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Cayman Islands, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Ryukyu Islands, Jordan, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Nigeria, Philippines, Serbia and Montenegro, Singapore, Switzerland, United Kingdom, & Yemen.

All other countries must use UPS.  If you live in one of the listed countries, and agree to wait 3 months for delivery with no tracking and no insurance on the dummy, then you can save $350 by selecting Sea Post as your shipping method.
