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.

A portable shield made for individuals who practice boxing, martial arts, or any combat sport. The portable shield comprises a central striking area, a resilient neck-like striking area, a head-like striking area that are suitable for kicking and/or punching. The portable shield also comprises holding arms for steering the shield and a spring within the resilient neck-like striking area for allowing movement of the head-like striking area when it is stricken by a user/athlete. The head-like striking area, the resilient neck-like striking area and the central striking area are covered with padding material to prevent injuring the user/athlete when kicking and/or punching.

A contact sports training device is disclosed in which a single individual may realistically practice two-person contact sports, self-defense, or martial arts techniques that include grappling, blocking, and deflection, which may include a flexible back plate and one or more arms attached thereto to realistically resist and flex when a force is applied by a trainee, allowing for the practice of techniques that teach how to strike through, deflect, or penetrate defenses in a more lifelike training scenario. The contact sports training device may also include simulated weapons, be mounted to a heavy bag, Bob, or other surface by straps or fasteners. Methods of training with a contact sports training device are also disclosed, including providing a responsive contact sports training device having simulated human arms extended forward in a defensive posture.

A body held sparring device configured for either striking or being hit with the addition of a secondary target. The secondary target is offset from the sparring tool and designed to yield when struck, rather than transmit dangerous torque to the body part holding the sparring tool. Additionally, the sparring tool can further incorporate additional sparring tools, additional secondary targets and or additional control body points.

A body held sparring device comprising: a U-shaped structure, at least a first sparring tool, and at least a first target wherein the first sparring tool is configured to be controlled independently of the U-shaped structure and to simulate punches being thrown by an opponent such as jabs and crosses. Wherein the first target is configured to yield when struck to reduce the amount of torque received by the body part through the structure.

The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for providing live and/or archived antagonistic sports classes to remote users. The method comprises providing, by means of a processor, a first user interface associated with a first training terminal of a first user at a first remote location and displaying live and/or archived antagonistic sports classes on the first user interface, so that the first user selects classes therefrom; receiving a selection from the first user at the first remote location and sending the content of the selected class to the first training terminal accordingly. The method further comprises transmitting a performance data of the first user from the first training terminal to a second training terminal of a second user at a second remote location, for a second user to view. The performance data of the first user is detected via a corresponding sensing module and received therefrom. The method can provide remote users with the required antagonistic sports classes at any time at any position, so that they may get professional guidance from instructors.

A variety of systems and methods are disclosed, including, an embodiment comprising a training system comprising a training dummy, a base, and a mobile phone application, and another embodiment comprising a method for training with a training system comprising applying a physical force to a training dummy, detecting the physical force via a plurality of sensors disposed in the training dummy, and adjusting at least one parameter of physical force based in part on feedback from the detected physical force via a mobile phone application.

A grappling dummy apparatus includes a rigid frame sized and shaped to resemble a human body having a head, torso, arms, and legs. A brace piece is connected to the rigid frame and extends from a rear portion of the rigid frame. At least one spring is connected to two adjacent portions of the rigid frame. The portions of the rigid frame connected by the at least one spring are biasably movable.

Disclosed is a training system. The training system may include a base, a plurality of gussets, a support frame, a plurality of connectors, and a plurality of locking pins. The plurality of gussets may define a plurality of adjustment holes. The support frame may include first and second support members and a crossbar. The first and second support members may be connected to the base via the plurality of gussets. The plurality of connectors may be distributed about the base and along the crossbar. The plurality of locking pins may be sized to fit the plurality of adjustment holes to lock the support frame in one of a plurality of angled positions relative to the base.

A proximity training device for use in training of activities (FIG. 3), that anybody can use whether they are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced activity enthusiast (user) participating in martial arts or another partner-oriented activities. The user is able to utilize the training device safely allowing them to maintain their physical fitness activities. The user engages the training device maintaining an upright posture and initiates movement thereby activating the training device. It is held within the same proximity of an in-person training partner, allowing the user to practice the fundamental biomechanical responses and other skills required for their preferred chosen activities. The training device is lightweight and easy to store. The arms are easily removed and are adjustable for optimizing user comfort and training device functionality. The training device is easy to assemble and disassemble which allows for easy transport and storage of the training device.

A training device has a joint function suitable for training various complex motions for various body parts such as an arm, a leg, a head, and a trunk for training martial arts. The training device includes: a shaft; a joint having a diameter larger than that of the shaft and disposed at one end portion of the shaft; a joint support contacting the joint and elastically supporting the joint; and a shaft support elastically supporting an outer side of the shaft at the one end portion of the shaft.
