Gracie University + Grappling Dummy

I know I’m probably combining two things that can be pretty controversial on here 😂 but hear me out.

I’m currently pretty time-poor and don’t have consistent access to training partners, so I’m looking for ways to get some extra reps in outside of class.

Has anyone actually had decent results using Gracie University alongside a grappling dummy?

I’m under no illusion that drilling on a dummy replaces live rolling or training with a good partner. I’m more interested in whether people have found it useful for getting reps into things like positional transitions, escapes, movements, etc., when they otherwise wouldn’t be training at all.

I'm also looking to go back to basics and learn from a curriculum rather than a series of random techniques

Basically: some useful extra reps vs. completely pointless?

Keen to hear from anyone who’s actually tried it rather than just the usual “bro, just go train” 😂
