A vertically adjustable double end bag system includes a double end bag connected to a tether. The tether may be a continuous cord o two connected cords, and may be flexible or substantially fixed length. The double end bag includes an adjuster mechanism for selectively positioning the bag. A support, such as may be connected to a door or other upright fixture or as may be free-standing via a base, connects to and suspends the tether.

A strike training attachment for a heavy bag may include a ball member sized according to the diameter of a typical adult human fist. The ball member may be resilient. The strike training attachment includes a loop member disposed on an outer surface of the ball member. The loop member may be attachably co-operable with a hang-mounting member of a heavy bag.

An entertainment system has an interactive component for an amusement park. The interactive component includes a detection device disposed within a housing and configured to read an identification tag via long range and short range radio communications, an interactive sensor disposed within the housing and configured to detect physical interaction with a portion of the interactive component, a control device communicatively coupled to the detection device and the interactive sensor, where the control device is configured to receive feedback from the detection device and the interactive sensor, an effect device configured to receive a signal from the control device and to generate an effect based on detection of the physical interaction, and a transmitter configured to transmit data to the identification tag based on detection of the physical interaction with the portion of the interactive component while detecting the identification tag within a threshold distance of the interactive component.

An interactive hitting pad for a martial arts trainer is provided which includes a base; a hitting pad platform having a hitting pad; and a plurality of linear actuators, wherein each of the linear actuators includes a first end and a second end, and wherein the first end of each of the linear actuators is articulatably connected to the base, and wherein the second end of each of the linear actuators is articulatably connected to the hitting pad platform, to form a parallel manipulator. A control system is connected to the plurality of linear actuators adapted to control the position and orientation of the hitting pad platform, and one or more sensors are operatively connected to the hitting pad platform and in communication with the control system for sensing impacts to the hitting pad by a user. A martial arts training system using the interactive hitting pad, as well as a method of training, are also provided.

A physical training apparatus for use in striking training, the apparatus comprising: a frame having a perimeter member extending substantially along a perimeter member plane and a support assembly for supporting the perimeter member above a ground surface such that the perimeter member plane is substantially horizontal, the perimeter member surrounding a central space for receiving an instructor; and a plurality of striking targets suspended from the perimeter member, the striking targets being positioned around the central space to allow a user positioned radially outwardly from the frame, adjacent one of the striking targets and facing inwardly towards the central space, to interact with the striking target while maintaining visual contact with the instructor when the instructor is positioned in the central space.

An exercise device and an inflatable alternative are provided. The exercise device is composed of a planar base attached to block(s). The block(s) may serve as cushioning or weighted items to enable a variety of exercises. The planar base is securable against a structure such as a door frame. The planar base is also convertible to a bench with shaft(s) that connect block(s) to form legs for the bench. The inflatable alternative includes a top end that is securable to the structure. A bottom end of the inflatable alternative is securable to a user through an ankle cuff. The ankle cuff provides the user a measure of control over a mobility of the inflatable alternative during an exercise.

A striking apparatus for all fighting art forms such as boxing to improve a user's fighting skills. The striking apparatus includes a timing ball having a link disposed thereon; an elongated adjustable rope; a swivel mounted to a swivel plate, the swivel plate being mounted to a backboard; the backboard being optionally attached to a frame; the link disposed on the timing ball being attached to the elongated adjustable rope, the rope being attached to the swivel; and the timing ball configured to be struck by the knuckles of a user's fist. Another embodiment of the invention includes a punching apparatus station for all fighting art forms which generally includes the same configuration as the striking apparatus referenced-above. Importantly, the striking apparatus advantageously is a cross between a speed bag, a double end bag, and a maze ball but is beneficially more effective than all three.

A tension adjustment structure of a boxing training device contains: a base, at least one control module for controlling a tension of a spring, and an impact module. The base includes a first fitting tube and a first screwing element. The impact module includes a coupling stem. The at least one control module includes a first support post, the spring, a second support post, a second fitting tube, and a second screwing element. The coupling stem is inserted through the first support post and the second fitting tube, and the second screwing element is screwed into a locking orifice of the first support post to fix the coupling stem in the first support post and the second fitting tube. The spring is partially fitted on the first and second support posts, and a height of each of the first support post and the second support post is adjustable.

A boxing practice device is provided, including: a support body, including a first support rod, a second support rod which is lateral to the first support rod and a base, the first support rod swingably positioned on the base, the second support rod movably positioned on the first support rod, the second support rod extending along a first rotation axis; a boxing mechanism, including a first boxing member and at least one second boxing member, the first boxing member being rotatably attached to the second support rod and rotatable about the first rotation axis, the at least one second boxing member being detachably assembled to the second support rod.

In one aspect the invention provides a punching bag retention apparatus which includes a bag engagement structure, and a user engagement structure. This retention apparatus also includes a tether defining a bag end and a user end, the bag end of the tether being arranged to connect to the bag engagement structure, and the user end of the tether being arranged to connect to the user engagement structure.
