An underwater striking bag device includes a bag having an annular upper compartment disposed in an upper section of the bag and receiving air therein, a neck extending through the upper section and communicating with a lower compartment receiving water therein, a weight in the bottom section, a removable cap connected to the neck, an air valve connected to the annular upper compartment to provide for filling air into the annular upper compartment, at least one handle connected to the bag for assisting in filling and removal of water into the lower compartment as well as exercising by grabbing the handles and pushing, pulling, and lifting the bag during a workout.

A cover for a hand-held pad having one or two handles, the cover having interconnected panels that define one or more openings for inserting the pad into the cover and for providing access to the handle(s). In one embodiment, a punch pad has a glove portion, and the cover has a single opening for both inserting the pad into the cover and providing access to the pad glove. In another embodiment, the pad is a kickboxing pad having a hand grip and an arm band, and the pad has three openings: a first for inserting the pad into the cover, a second for accessing the hand grip, and a third for accessing the arm band. The panels are made suitable materials that enable the cover to fit snuggly over the pad where the front panel may be printed or written upon to display an image.

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.

A device has a lightweight inner bladder and an outer layer that covers the inner bladder. The inner bladder bunches up, crunches, becomes pleated, folded or the like against the inner surface of the outer layer. The bunched up surface of the inner bladder may be flattened and/or reconfigured upon impact, thereby absorbing energy. The bunched up inner bladder may create an uneven surface on the outer layer thereby altering the manner through which the device travels through the air. The device may be configured for any of a variety of sports or games such as, for example, a simulated soccer ball, football, rugby ball, baseball and/or softball, a tennis ball, a beachball or other oversized ball, a golf ball, a flying disc, a weighted punching bag, or any of a wide variety of devices for play and/or training.

A striking training device is provided, including: a support body, having a seat end and an assembling end which are located along a first direction, the assembling end including an assembling mechanism; a hit mechanism, including a first hit member and at least one second hit member, the first hit member including a first mounting structure, each said second hit member including a second mounting structure, the first mounting structure being detachably assembled with the assembling mechanism positionably, each said second hit member being pivoted to the assembling structure via the second mounting structure so that the second hit member being rotatable laterally relative to the first direction. Both or one of the first hit member and the at least one second hit member are/is optionally assembled with the assembling structure.

The present invention concerns generally with exercise athletic devices. Particularly, the present invention is directed at a device equipped with punch-absorbing striking pads for practicing punching and striking. More specifically, the present invention is directed at a device equipped with punch-absorbing striking pads and attached to a decline bench; thus, allowing a user to practice punching and striking while doing sit-ups.

A modular support assembly for hanging exercising and training apparatus includes a pair of vertical elements and a horizontal element. The horizontal element is configured to selectively engage upper ends of the vertical elements so that the two vertical elements extend perpendicularly and codirectionally from opposed ends of the horizontal element to a surface. Exercising or training apparatus can be hung from the horizontal element. The vertical elements are two of a plurality of vertical elements and the horizontal element is one of a plurality of horizontal elements. Each vertical element can selectively engage respective opposed ends of two horizontal elements so that the two horizontal elements extend perpendicularly from the upper end of the vertical element. The set of horizontal elements and the set of vertical elements thus are selectively positionable in a variety of rectangular configurations.

Disclosed is a method, a device, a system and/or a manufacture of training utilizing a target comprising strike sectors and/or a mat comprising position sectors indicated to the user. In one embodiment, a method for combat training, athletic training, and workout includes determining a position sector ID from a training file associated with a position sector visually identified on a mat including a position detector. A strike sector ID is determined associated with a strike sector on a strike target capable comprising a strike detector and capable of receiving a strike from a human extremity. A first indicator signal is generated to communicate the foot placement to the user and a second indicator signal communicates the strike sector. A strike signal is received from the strike and/or a position signal is received from the foot placement on the mat. The user's strike and/or positioning performance may be assessed.

A portable, impact-absorbing apparatus having a striking portion, an energy-absorbing portion, and a mounting portion. The striking portion may be a padded plate and the mounting portion may be a collar that may mount to the vertical frame member of a squat rack. The energy-absorbing portion may be an insert that slides into the barrel of a hollow sleeve in which a spring is disposed. The sleeve may have slots in the top and bottom for bolts or pins, which are inserted therethrough for attachment to the insert, to define the longitudinal limits of the insert's extension.
