Greetings all, this will mark my first post (of many I hope). First prior to my question I have to say I was a bit suprised that the username "kendo" wasn't taken lol. So I had to take it. Now onto the question:

Which Kendo dummy would you recommend?

or

or...

http://www.bestkendo.com/Kendo-dummy.html (I think this one is the best but would like others input)

Cheers,

I personally feel it depends what you want to do with it. The first and last examples you posted simulate an opponent in front of you but if you want to do zanshin you have to make sure you properly adjust your direction to avoid running into it. The second one eliminates that problem but at the same time doesn't offer the ability to practice striking do. Consider how you would want to use it in practice, with how many people, and which would be the best fit.
