Motion Master: The Ultimate MMA Grappling Dummy for Ground-and-Pound Training
The Revgear Motion Master is more than a traditional MMA grappling dummy—it's one of the most innovative and versatile training tools ever created for mixed martial arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), wrestling, and submission grappling.
Developed in partnership with legendary coach Erik Paulson, founder of Combat Submission Wrestling (CSW) and Revgear's longest-serving ambassador, the Motion Master has become the gold standard for athletes looking to improve positional control, transitions, submissions, and ground-and-pound.
Often imitated but never duplicated, the Motion Master delivers professional-level training that lasts a lifetime.
Designed by MMA Legend Erik Paulson
For more than 25 years, Erik Paulson worked closely with Revgear founder Paul Reavlin to develop innovative training equipment trusted by fighters around the world.
Their shared philosophy was simple: build products that solve real training problems while standing up to years of daily use.
One of their greatest collaborations was the Motion Master—a revolutionary grappling dummy unlike anything else on the market.
A Revolutionary Grappling Dummy Design
Unlike conventional grappling dummies, the Motion Master features a unique dual-head infinity-loop design.
This innovative shape allows athletes to flow continuously between positions without constantly stopping to reset the dummy. The result is smoother, faster, and more realistic drilling sessions that maximize training time.
Specially designed side "arms" (nubs) allow practitioners to:
- Secure underhooks
- Practice submissions
- Drill arm positioning
- Improve control from dominant positions
- Train realistic ground-and-pound sequences
Every detail was refined through countless prototypes until Erik Paulson and Paul Reavlin achieved the perfect balance of realism, durability, and functionality.

The Motion Master is engineered to withstand the demands of professional gyms and home training environments alike.
Features include:
- Extremely durable construction
- Washable outer material
