Marine buoys can function as high-quality aqua bags / teardrop bags. They are identical to the ones marketed to MMA gyms yet buying one sold as a buoy is less expensive. This piece of gear is essential for your “at-home” training, and UMA blackbelt Noel Abbott shows what he likes about his and how he is using it.
This is the best, most realistic as well as safest training I’ve ever received in a civilian class. I’ve attended 6 different martial arts classes as a civilian and sat in on dozens of other classes and this is the most realistic training I’ve received outside of the military. It teaches almost all of the same skills as military combatives while being geared toward civilians. It is a very well organized class which teaches a good blend of hand to hand, grappling, and weapons fighting realistically. Because of this I was able to improve on all of the skills I learned while being deployed in Europe for a year. The real tragedy of the class is that so few people seem to realize how great it is.
