The present invention relates to training devices of types commonly referred to as strike pads, strike mitts, focus mitts, strike dummies and double end bags, which are used in many forms of martial arts, self-defense, unarmed combat, fighting and fitness training. The strike head of the invention is a martial arts, fighting and fitness training device in the shape of an anatomically accurate human head that provides realistic size, surface features and yield characteristics for highly accurate, targeted and dynamic hand strikes, arm strikes and kicks. The device can be held in place for the training athlete through various means including; 1) an integrated internal handle oriented to afford the holder an ergonomically advantageous shape, contour and orientation, 2) a double end rope suspended from the floor and ceiling, and/or 3) a fixation attached to a floor, wall or overhead mounted post or armature.

An apparatus has a front, lower section and a back, higher section coupled to the front, lower section and coupled to a dummy, such that a football player can strike a three-point stance under the front lower section, move outward and upward, and tackle the dummy.

A punching bag system includes a punching bag that is suspended from a supporting structure. In this way the punching bag is positioned to be struck during striking training. A support is coupled to and extends upwardly from the punching bag and the support is coupled to the supporting structure. A plurality of ball units is provided and each of the ball units is removably coupled to the support. Each of the ball units abuts the punching bag thereby facilitating each of the ball units to be selectively struck during striking training.

A martial arts training apparatus includes an adjustable length pole to be supported between a ceiling and a floor in a generally vertical orientation. A plurality of rotatable collars are provided on the pole. Arms extend from the collars and are free to rotate in opposite directions around the pole when struck to provide targets for striking and to mimic an opponent's limbs to be blocked or dodged. A static strike target may be provided on the pole. The apparatus can be configured to support a double end speed bag from one of the arms such that the double end speed bag moves in a dynamic unpredictable manner when struck. A support arm may be provided to connect the top arm to a lower collar to provide additional support of the double end speed bag.

Methods and systems for providing a fitness experience to a user. The system comprises a punching bag defining an outer non-planar surface adapted to receive strikes of the user, a sensor configured to generate data about strikes applied by the user on the punching bag, an image projecting device configured to project a dynamic content on the outer non-planar surface of the punching bag and processor communicably connected to the sensor and the image projecting device. The processor is configured to dynamically adjust the dynamic content projected on the outer non-planar surface based at least in part on data provided by the sensor.

Versatile exercise apparatus is portable and provides adjustable volume to weight ratio for multi-purpose weight, cardio, sport-specific, and martial arts training. Versatile exercise apparatus provides a user with the ability to adjust volume to weight ratio using a waterproof fillable cavity. The different markings on the transparent viewing window of the apparatus allow a user to vary the difficulty level of workouts by changing the corresponding weight of either water or sand added to the apparatus. Versatility is provided by the apparatus either being used as a backpack or a hand-held free weight, or a punching bag.

A reflexive training device having a rotating member that rotates around an axis while also traveling perpendicular to the plain of rotation to present the rotating member at variable vertical locations during use.

A therapeutic striking and rehabilitation training system that provides rehabilitation and therapeutic training in a home environment for persons with disabilities from an accident, wounded veterans, from disabilities involving birth defects, or as part of a physical therapy program even for bed-ridden patients. A therapeutic striking and rehabilitation training system also improves conditioning and hand-eye coordination which is attached to a ceiling, or hung in a door opening using a bar, via a tether with a ball attached to the end of said tether. The ball is a given distance from the ceiling as determined by the user. Once the desired distance has been chosen, the user then strikes the ball with enough force for the ball to contact the ceiling and then begin a downward trajectory towards the user to be struck again.

Disclosed herein is a heavy bag including an outer cover. The heavy bag also includes a foam insert retained in and covered by the outer cover. The foam insert includes an open channel and has a monolithic one-piece construction. The heavy bag further includes at least one removable pouch in the open central channel. The heavy bag additionally includes a fill material in the at least one removable pouch.

An adjustable support for a speed bag includes a base and a telescoping support column. The column is pivotably connected to the base and movable between a folded position and a deployed upright position. The support further includes a cantilever arm having a first end pivotably connected to an upper column portion of the column, and a speed bag platform is secured adjacent a second end of the cantilever arm. The cantilever arm is movable between a first folded position and a second cantilever position. A platform locking mechanism releasably secures the cantilever arm in the second cantilever position, whereby the pivoting and telescoping column and the pivoting cantilever arm and speed bag platform allow the speed bag to be deployed and used at a plurality of heights and orientations.
