A grappling dummy of humanoid shape is described. The grappling dummy offers a strategically sound and versatile posture for more realistic martial arts training by holding a realistic guard position. The dummy is comprised of an envelope, to be filled with any material to give it the desired weight and consistency. When filled, the tensile strength of the envelope and filling allow the limbs of the grappling dummy to retract to their resting guard position when extended. Due to the dummy's resting posture with knees above the hip line and elbows in front of and covering the torso, this grappling dummy may be placed in a variety of positions including supine, seated, and turtle, and thus offers a more versatile and realistic training experience.

A tackle training apparatus includes a padded body member and two padded elongate leg members in which each leg member has a first end for abutting the body member and a second end for contacting the ground. The two leg members are arranged in relation to the body member to extend from and to be resiliently movable relative to and/or separable from the body member, and in one configuration where the second end of each of the two leg members is placed on the ground, the two leg members can support the body member such that the apparatus is in a standing position, provides an effective training apparatus for improvements in collisions and especially tackles in rugby. Use of the apparatus facilitates improvement in point of contact, height of approach, grip technique and grip strength.

The Spring Impact Boxing Dummy is the only product of its kind that utilizes springs on a target to accurately depict a real life fighting experience to improve strike precision and exactitude. The disclosure is uniquely designed to resemble a human body and face and can be simply mounted onto any wall based on user preferences; therefore, providing users an effective means to train, burn calories in an effort to get in the best shape of their lives. A mount supports springs having a spring force set to a weight of a user of the boxing dummy. A frame is attached to the mount via the springs. The frame includes adjustable tracks for a height adjustment relative to the mount. The boxing dummy includes pads near a head and hands of the boxing dummy and is attached to the frame via the plates.

A training dummy having a waist portion, a first leg coupled to the waist portion, a second leg coupled to the waist portion, a first foot coupled to the first leg, and a second foot coupled to the second leg. At least one of the first foot or the second foot includes a front foot portion, a back foot portion, and a rod assembly coupling the front foot portion to the back foot portion. The front foot portion is configured to move with respect to the back foot portion.

A grappling dummy having a generally human shape includes a trunk with a head, arms, and legs extending from the trunk. The legs can be connected together by a connecting leg segment forming a leg enclosure. The grappling dummy also includes padding disposed about the trunk, the head, the arms, and the legs. The trunk defines a midline, and the head can extend longitudinally from the trunk angled in a forward direction from the midline at about forty-five degrees. Each of the arms can extend from the trunk at about forty-five degrees. Each of the arms can lie in a generally transverse plane with respect to the midline. Each of the legs can extend from the trunk at about forty-five degrees. Each of the legs can lie in a second plane angled in a forward direction from the midline of the trunk at about forty-five degrees.

In accordance with a version of the invention, a martial arts training device is provided which allows solitary training, particularly with regard to clinch training. In certain versions of the application, the martial arts training device generally comprises: a base assembly having a top; a primary spring affixed to the top of the base assembly, the primary spring having a top and a bottom; a torso body assembly; a vertical adjustment assembly adapted to vertically translate the torso body assembly between a downward position and an upward position; and at least one bidirectional spring-biased assembly for yieldably maintaining the torso body assembly in a default resting position.

The human form punching bag comprises a punching bag and a noise maker. The punching bag may be suspended from above and used for exercise or self-defense training. The human form punching bag may have a torso portion, a right leg portion, and a left leg portion in a humanoid form and may be adapted to be punched or kicked by a user. The intersection of the torso portion, the right leg portion, and the left leg portion may define a groin area. The noise maker may be retained under a flap in the groin area of the punching bag such that a kick administered to the groin area may produce audible feedback.

Disclosed is a method, a device, a system and/or a manufacture of training utilizing a target comprising strike sectors and/or a mat comprising position sectors indicated to the user. In one embodiment, a method for combat training, athletic training, and workout includes determining a position sector ID from a training file associated with a position sector visually identified on a mat including a position detector. A strike sector ID is determined associated with a strike sector on a strike target capable comprising a strike detector and capable of receiving a strike from a human extremity. A first indicator signal is generated to communicate the foot placement to the user and a second indicator signal communicates the strike sector. A strike signal is received from the strike and/or a position signal is received from the foot placement on the mat. The user's strike and/or positioning performance may be assessed.

A padded punching surface incorporating elastic roping connected to a frame which allows the punching surface to be struck with a force of impact by a user so as to minimize swinging of the punching surface. The apparatus is an improvement on existing punching bags which enables easier convenient and more realistic combat training for athletes and users. The amount of swing for the punching surface can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the elastic roping. The punching surface can include an attached head shaped surface for more realism.
