An exercise system includes a target having a rectangular body composed of a polycarbonate material; a first handle having an opening extending through a thickness of the rectangular body; striking the rectangular body causes an audible noise.

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.

Training accessories and methods for improving athletic techniques, such as, for example, tackling form for football. A display can be coupled to a piece of athletic equipment, such as a tackling dummy, and the display depicts a symbol at a time at which a player is or is about to interact with the equipment or perform a movement or action. An input is provided of the player's identification of the depicted symbol and compared to the symbol that was actually depicted. The player's correct identification of the depicted symbol can indicate that the player performed the movement or action, or the interaction with the equipment, with appropriate form. A player's failure to correctly identify the depicted symbol can indicate to a coach that the player may need further instruction on proper technique or form with which the movement or action, or the interaction with the equipment, should be performed.

A punching bag training comprises a flexible housing adapted to be wrapped around a punching bag. The housing supports a strike pad array. Each strike pad in the array comprises a force sensor to detect strikes, together with a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that are positioned around the force sensor and that are lit when the user strikes the pad accurately (e.g., within a predetermined strike zone, and within a predetermined time). In addition, each strike pad has associated therewith an extension (or connecting) portion that couples the strike pad to the center portion. The connecting portion advantageously includes a set of LEDs that are selectively lit to telegraph a hit point to the user, namely, the strike pad associated with the connecting portion. The LEDs arranged on the connecting portion serve as a runway with the LEDs being lit progressively from the center portion and outward toward the strike pad to be hit next in a programmed hit sequence. As the user interacts with the system, speed, timing and accuracy preferably are measured to determine a score. The lighting elements are controlled using a controller unit that may be integral with the housing, attached thereto, or coupled to the housing wirelessly. The controller unit outputs one or more programmed hit sequences (i.e., to provide the control signals that activate the LEDs), and to detect and record electrical signals generated by the force sensors as the user strikes the pads.

An interactive boxing trainer having a boxing object and a trainer is provided. An accelerometer is installed in the boxing head of the boxing object so that the acceleration of the boxing head can be sensed, and the force applied onto the boxing head, including its strength and direction, can be calculated accordingly. With this architecture, the cost of installation and maintenance is also reduced.

A strike recording punching bag assembly includes a striking pad that is positionable at a beneficial location for striking training for receiving strikes from a trainee. A striking panel is positioned within the striking pad and the striking panel has a plurality of depressions therein. A plurality of pressure sensors is each of the pressure sensors is integrated into the striking pad to sense pressure from strikes delivered to the striking pad. Additionally, each of the pressure sensors is positioned in a respective depression. A transmitter is integrated into the striking pad and the transmitter is in communication with each of the pressure sensors. The transmitter is in wireless communication with an extrinsic electronic device wherein the transmitter is configured to facilitate the extrinsic electronic device to display the pressure sensed by the pressure sensors for enhancing feedback to the trainee.
