SPRING-ARMS: MasterPath/HuenDo - Wooden Dummy Mountable Chi Sao Spring Arms
SHIPPING UPDATE: Due to new COVID related restrictions (Nov 2020) shipping times with normal mail have greatly increased (up to 10 weeks we've seen so far) and tracking is rarely updated. We know it costs extra, but highly recommend using DHL at this time. We are offering both options. DHL has full tracking and speedy delivery.
This Spring Arm Chi Sao Device from HuenDo and MasterPath allows you to attach a pair of spring arms to your dummy specifically designed, weighted and angled to help facilitate your chi sau technique training.
The device comes as one part, you only have to mount it to your dummy at your preferred height with the innovative ratchet system (no tools required). It is easy to do. Also included is a 20 mm punching pad between the arms. To stabilize the punching pad to the aluminum frame you only have to fit the extended threads on the corners of the aluminum frame into the holes that are pre drilled on the foam.
Use:
These spring arms are made for exercising techniques, positioning, and proper body structure in relation to sticky hands (chi sau) training. The spring's strength was chosen specifically for chi sau.
Although human arms are the perfect "device" to train chi sao with, you cannot always have a partner willing to exercise with you. The second best device is this spring arm mount. You can train yourself with this device any time you like as much as you like. You can do countless exercises, advance your attack combinations, train one-arm or two-arm chi sao patterns/drills, or just workout and strengthen your structure and techniques to be better the next time you have a training session with your partners.
The only thing you must keep in mind is to maintain a proper structure while training and keep your techniques as perfect as you can. Ask your Wing Chun Sifu's advice on how to train using spring arms - or just check out any of the numerous videos on chi sao, and start practicing step by step.
Included:
You will get the dummy mounting frame with straps and pad, and the two attached spring arms. The Dummy pads pictured above and below the device, and middle spring arm, would need to be purchased separately. If you want a middle spring arm and want it to be the same strength spring as the chi sao arms, that can be custom made for you (please just say so in the order comments to us). Otherwise you can purchase the one on the site, which is slightly stronger (and many people prefer that one for the middle arm).
Features:
- Multi-angled arms (11 degrees inwards 14 degrees upwards) for better simulation of the human arm structure while doing chi sao.
- Medium strength springs for more realistic pressure during chi sao exercises.
- High-Quality materials put through rigorous testing.
- Suitable for all Wing Chun or JKD wooden dummies.
- Extra stable innovative mounting system.
- Easy to use ratchet based straps for mounting/unmounting.
- No extra tools needed.
- Spring system gives mobility to simulate a human arm in the correct angles for Chi Sao (vs other spring arm training).
- Fine quality hardwood arms with an excellent finish.
- Perfect grip - using rubber cylinders over the wooden dummy body offers extreme device stability while training.
- The metal frame will not damage your dummy - there are rubber rollers in the front and a rubber patch in the back to protect it.
- The ratchet mechanism is capable of holding up to 1 metric ton - way more force that you will generate using these arms.
- Includes a thick (20mm) removable punching pad.
Specs:
Total Length of Arm: 383 mm (15 inches)
Length of Arm: 28 cm (11 inches)
Length of Spring: approx 4 inches
Width of Tip of Arm: 4 cm (1.57 inches)
Distance arms stick out from dummy, including the mount: 45.6 cm (18 inches)
Spring Strength (as arm moves from center):
Moved 5 cm (1.96 in) = 3 kg (6.6 lbs)
Moved 11 cm (4.33 in) = 5 kg (11 lbs)
Moved 16 cm (6.3 in) = 7 kg (15.4 lbs)
Keep in mind the arms will bend further and the force will be greater - so be very careful. If your hand/arm slips after pushing the spring-arm a certain distance, the force of the rebound can cause serious injury.
