A free standing fight simulation workout machine has a fight simulation headed/multi-headed, with or without arms, member that is adapted to be used in conjunction with a slip and counter fight simulation apparatus or stand alone apparatus. The fight simulation headed member for a free standing fight simulation workout apparatus has at least one main support structure having a mounting means. The headed member comprises at least one head terminating at an elongated neck. When present, the arms are arranged to extend from or come out of different areas of said head, face and/or neck. Preferably, multiple heads are provided. The headed member includes a top mating mounting portion and the neck bottom includes a bottom mating mounting adapted to mount on bungee cords mounted through mounting means on the workout apparatus. The head or heads and protruding arms provide various angles adapted for a user to punch, knee, and/or do a flying knee.

The present invention provides for a martial arts kicking and punching apparatus comprising: a first portion designed like a martial arts chest protector; a paddle having a handle on one end and a padded portion designed to look like a martial arts helmet; a device for securing the paddle to the first portion; and an electronic scoring system comprising a sensor, a transmitter and a receiver.

A portable sparring mannequin device for realistic fighting training includes a dummy with head, neck, and torso portions. The dummy also has a front side and a back side. A cushioning panel is attached to the back side. A harness is coupled to the torso portion for releasably attaching the dummy to a user. The harness comprises a plurality of straps having adjustable lengths and being releasably coupled to each other. The neck portion is angled forwardly such that the head portion is positioned forwardly relative to the torso portion. A first and second arm rod may be removably attached to the harness or the torso portion. The first and second arm rods each include a pole, with a boxing glove attached to one end and padding extending along the pole from the boxing glove toward the other end. A counterweight may be removably attached to the other end.

An exemplary training device includes a padded limb and a support to hold the padded limb at a position spaced from a trainer. An exemplary training method includes holding a padded limb at a position spaced from a trainer using a support grasped by the trainer, and repositioning the padded limb during a training exercise using the support.

A free standing fight simulation workout machine with a fight simulation multi-headed, multi-abdomen, multi-armed apparatus is adapted to be used in conjunction with a slip and counter fight simulation apparatus or stand alone apparatus. The fight simulation multi-headed, multi-abdomen, multi-armed apparatus includes a multi-headed member having at least one head attached to at least one abdomen and at least one arm having a glove appending member. Preferably, multiple heads are attached to multiple abdomens with multiple arm pairs to provide different punch configurations for the user to strike at. The multi-headed, multi-abdomen, multi-armed provides various angles adapted for a user to punch, knee, and/or do a flying knee.

An apparatus for a lifelike, automated, heavy punching bag that can parry punches using robotic arms able to rotate to right and left, and sense and record the weight and accuracy of punches delivered to it. The boxing buddy system may be used by aspiring boxers and other martial artists to deliver punches to various strategic points of their opponent's anatomy.

A martial arts training target device for attachment to a heavy punching bag. The target includes a foam body that has a solid reinforcement member embedded in the foam. The target includes at least one strap that includes a mechanism for securing the strap around a heavy punching bag.

An octagonal punching bag arrangement can include a body portion, a head portion, and a connecting portion. Each of the body portion and the head portion is designed in the shape of an octagonal prism. The connecting portion is positioned to connect the head portion to the body portion. The connecting portion is in the shape of an octagonal pyramidal prism tapering inwardly. Such a design provides a user, such as a boxer or martial artist, with a variety of differently oriented striking surfaces to permit the user to practice different strikes.

Impact bag assemblies and methods related thereto utilizing unique strikable units or striking-pad units. Some embodiments utilize reconfigurable striking-pad units. Some embodiments utilize striking-pad units that have two foam paddings instead of one, wherein the foam padding differs in density and hence in hardness. Some embodiments utilize angled sides on the striking-pad unit. For example, the and the striking-pad unit is configured to have a periphery comprising a series of angled sides such that the outer lateral-cross-sectional shape of the striking-pad assembly is a polygon. These sides can also slant inward or outward or be convex or concave.

A portable sparring mannequin device for realistic fighting training includes a dummy with head, neck, and torso portions. The dummy also has a front side and a back side. A cushioning panel is attached to the back side. A harness is coupled to the torso portion for releasably attaching the dummy to a user. The harness comprises a plurality of straps having adjustable lengths and being releasably coupled to each other. The neck portion is angled forwardly such that the head portion is positioned forwardly relative to the torso portion. A first and second arm rod may be removably attached to the harness or the torso portion. The first and second arm rods each include a pole, with a boxing glove attached to one end and padding extending along the pole from the boxing glove toward the other end. A counterweight may be removably attached to the other end.
