Renatus:
Thanks for the quote, seems convincing for mass use. Still weird if no realistic dummies at all, but maybe the artists' training statues would be used for decoration anyway, rather than for beating.
Bryan:
No it doesn't look like a human, but this does:![[Image: s496890397937105423_p4_i1_w1200.jpeg]](http://www.everyexperiencematters.com/uploads/4/2/1/6/4216069/s496890397937105423_p4_i1_w1200.jpeg)
I haven't seen any combat posture dummies from modern days either, but the advantage would be that you could beat it freely, unlike a live opponent who eventually gets hurt and needs a rest. A dummy in combat posture has its hands on the way, and one leg is farther away. It's definitely different from a mere post, not saying a plain post wouldn't be useful, simply maybe not equal to a combat posture dummy. The expensiveness of manufacture is the only drawback I see, and if practicing high kicks, the hand would block too much if not made from some bending material. But this is doable in the ancient days also.
