The present disclosure provides grappling apparatus (100) for training a person (P) for wrestling. The grappling apparatus (100) includes multiple support members (102) for supporting the grappling apparatus (100) on a floor (F). The grappling apparatus (100) also includes at least one horizontal bar (108) having a length of about 1.5 meters to about 2.5 meters and configured to couple with the support members (102). The horizontal bar (108) is located at a height (H) of about 45 centimeters to about 70 centimeters from the floor (F), extends between two support members (102), and configured to allow the person (P) to grasp the horizontal bar (108) with hands, body, and legs.

A grappling dummy of humanoid shape is described. The grappling dummy offers a strategically sound and versatile posture for more realistic martial arts training by holding a realistic guard position. The dummy is comprised of an envelope, to be filled with any material to give it the desired weight and consistency. When filled, the tensile strength of the envelope and filling allow the limbs of the grappling dummy to retract to their resting guard position when extended. Due to the dummy's resting posture with knees above the hip line and elbows in front of and covering the torso, this grappling dummy may be placed in a variety of positions including supine, seated, and turtle, and thus offers a more versatile and realistic training experience.

A training simulator system for martial arts including two detachable parts. The first part comprises a cylindrical bag and the second part comprises a base. The base may have a circular base line. An outer diameter of the base may be larger than a diameter of the bag. The base may be reinforced along an inner circumference. The base may include a center having a concentric round hole that may have a diameter sized corresponding with the diameter of the bag. The bag may further include, at a first end, at least one strap segment for suspension and safety to prevent unintentional loosening.

Disclosed is a mat system. The mat system may include a plurality of mats. Each of the plurality of mats may include a first surface, a second surface, and a curved surface. The first surface may include a first connector and the second surface may include a second connector. The curved surface may extend from the first surface to the second surface. Upon assembly of the mat system, the first and second connectors of a mat may engage connectors of a first and second adjacent mats. The curved surfaces of the plurality of mats may form a void in a center region of the mat system.

Apparatus is provided for training people in technique and tactics for use in wrestling and other combat sports. The apparatus presented comprises a rigid and elastic frame, padding, low-friction feet or runners, and a platform for another user or weights, to add mass and resistance for the user training with the apparatus. A user may use the apparatus to practice penetration techniques, agility, and strength while training in free motion. The apparatus leads the user to use her or his body weight, the weight of the apparatus, and optionally added weight, in training while on matted surfaces, providing a better training experience and practice than prior art training devices. The present invention solves problems with the currently available means and apparatuses of practicing penetration techniques and tactics.

A punching bag with multiple strike targets features a punching bag body, a plurality of cutouts, and a plurality of strike targets, the punching bag body extending between an upper end and a lower end. The plurality of cutouts traverse into the punching bag body and provide spaces within which the plurality of strike targets are connected. An upper strike target is positioned within an upper cutout, representing an opponent's head, and a lower strike target is positioned within a lower cutout, representing an opponent's midsection. The punching bag body may be hung from an elevated mounting point by a plurality of straps connected to the upper end of the punching bag body, or the punching bag body may be supported above a floor or other surface by a base connected to the lower end of the punching bag body.

The exercise slidermat comprises a stationary saucer and sliding structure. The stationary saucer is a pedestal upon which the sliding structure is placed. The sliding structure sits the stationary saucer such that the sliding structure slides along the stationary saucer. The sliding structure is a horizontal surface upon which an exerciser performs training exercises intended to improve the footwork for a given sport. The sliding structure is moved across the stationary saucer such that the sliding structure is moving across the stationary saucer while the exerciser is performing the training exercises. The action of combining the motion of the sliding structure with the physical training causes the exerciser to perform the training exercises while visually and tactilely sensing not only the motion of the training exercise but the forces and momentum applied to the sliding structure during the training period.

A grappling dummy apparatus includes a rigid frame sized and shaped to resemble a human body having a head, torso, arms, and legs. A brace piece is connected to the rigid frame and extends from a rear portion of the rigid frame. At least one spring is connected to two adjacent portions of the rigid frame. The portions of the rigid frame connected by the at least one spring are biasably movable.
