A grappling dummy having a generally human shape includes a trunk with a head, arms, and legs extending from the trunk. The legs can be connected together by an elongate connecting leg segment forming a leg enclosure. The grappling dummy also includes padding disposed about the trunk, the head, the arms, and the legs. When resting on the ground in a kneeling position, the midline of the trunk is generally parallel and elevated with respect to the ground. The grappling dummy can include a jacket assembly to be worn around the trunk and the two arms, where the jacket assembly is divided at its back into trunk sections with arm coverings. The trunk sections are configured to connect at the back of the grappling dummy to form a cloth jacket open at the front, and are connectable by a fastener assembly at the back.

A padded punching surface incorporating elastic roping connected to a frame which allows the punching surface to be struck with a force of impact by a user so as to minimize swinging of the punching surface. The apparatus is an improvement on existing punching bags which enables easier convenient and more realistic combat training for athletes and users. The amount of swing for the punching surface can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the elastic roping. The punching surface can include an attached head shaped surface for more realism.

The football player-worn target pad is a training device. The football player-worn target pad is a garment. The football player-worn target pad is worn by an athlete. The football player-worn target pad is configured for use in training for the game of American football. The football player-worn target pad provides targets used to aim the interpersonal impacts that commonly occur between a first athlete and a second athlete participating in American football. The football player-worn target pad incorporates a harness structure and a pad structure. The harness structure is worn by the first athlete. The pad structure presents a plurality of target images that are visible to the second athlete. The second athlete aims at the plurality of target images during the interpersonal impact between the second athlete and the first athlete.

A martial arts training device includes one or more anatomically correct simulated body parts (ACSBPs), including at least one of: head, neck, one or more legs, one or more arms and torso, at least one of said simulated body parts including at least one resettable, breakable or hyperextensible simulated anatomical element, the element simulating human joints, ligaments, tendons or bones. In embodiments, each of the ACBSPs includes a covering of simulated human skin, and wherein following a break or hyperextension of the resettable element, the element may be reset to its undamaged position or resting status to engage the device repeatedly.
