Question on a Drill

I sometimes train at school in our wrestling room. We have some 100lb grappling dummies that work great for striking when set up against a wall or somehow supported. They are strong enough to stand alone if they're balanced. I seem to have invented a drill where I balance them to slightly begin to fall forward and throw Jab-Cross combos to try to keep it balanced. If it comes to far forward, I throw a knee or hook and let it fall and cover it to take the back and transition to mount, then start again. If I jab-cross too much and it goes backwards, I throw a body or leg round kick and cover it, and start again. When I 1-2 I back up a little so I don't throw it all the way over backwards, they're pretty heavy but I'm an athletic 215 pounds with a lot of snap and power. Does that sound like a reasonable drill to do when I don't have a partner? Or is there something that could tweak off my game?

I don't see any problems with it.  The more creative and fun you can make your drills, so long as you are drilling good form and technique, the better the drill is. IMHO

Thanks. It's one I can really focus on techinque. It's helped me speed up my bob and weave and head movement, because I need to keep the dummy balanced, but also work movement and footwork.
