DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0032] Referring to the drawings, the invention provides a martial arts/football device, #10 (See FIG. 2), that can be mounted on a vertical supporting structure, #11 such as a heavy punching bag as shown in FIG. 1. The device #10 (See FIG. 2), includes four oval shaped plastic discs, shoulder, and thighs (See FIG. 8A) #12, which is covered in general oval shaped padding, see #14 (FIG. 9A). The padding shown in #14, is filled with a resilient padding shown in #30, (See FIG. 9B), made from a high impact absorbent material such as foam, liquid, or any other conventional means that will withstand the shock and force from punches and kicks by the practitioner.

[0033] Although there are some padding materials such as #30 (FIG. 9B), that would not require an outer covering, however it is commonly known that materials such as canvas's, leather, polyethylene or nylon type plastic be employed. One embodied of the invention would utilize the device #10 (FIG. 2), strictly in conjunction with a heavy bunching bag #11 (FIG. 1) which would require the pad #14 (FIG. 1). To have padding of #30. Since the plastic oval shaped disc #12 would not absorb the impact of the punches and kicks the preferred embodiment of the oval shaped plastic disc #12 is covered with a high impact resisting padding material made of foam, see #30 (FIG. 9B).

[0034] FIG. 2 depicts the front surface of the oval shaped disc member #12 (FIG. 8A) which displays the Velcro hook and loop straps #22 (FIG. 8C) interposed between the front surface of #12 and the back surface of #14 (FIG. 9A) of the pad #30 (FIG. 9B). Each disc #12 is positioned and rotated which is coupled to an appendage target by a Velcro hook and loop strap #22.

[0035] Each appendage target #13 is comprised of a realistic limb of an opponent, the inner limb known as target #25, and the outer limb known as target #26. These limbs of #25 and #26 will simulate to the practitioner as actual arms and legs of a real opponent, providing a realistic experience without the dangers that come with sparring during a training session. FIG. 5 illustrates the front and back surface of #12 of the disc #1 and #2. The disc #12 has four hooks and four loops that are Velcro straps for #22, which encircles the supporting structures of #11 and then is attached to the device of #10. The disc #12 has a buckle known as #6 on its surface of each end of #12. The attachable straps of #22 consists of four Velcro hooks and four loop straps. All four straps of #22 have end integrals with the back of the surface of #7. (FIG. 8C) displays the other two Velcro straps as #22. The attachable straps #22 have a rough side called a hook and on the other side is called a loop #22. The fastening straps #22 of the shoulder disc #12, operate in the same manner as the attachable straps #22 for the thighs #25 (See FIG. 2). The hooks engage into the loop and provide a closure mechanism. There are many forms and combinations of hooks and loops as well that are self-engaging. It is to be appreciated that in lieu of Velcro, the straps can be canvas, leather, or some other plastic materials such as vinyl instead of a Velcro strap arrangement.

[0036] The limbs #25 and #26 of the appendages each have a P.V.C. pipe skeletal system known as #9A and #9B. FIG. 6A depicts the P.V.C. pipes #9A and #9B having opposite ends, socket end #8A (See FIG. 6A), and for engaging rope connector portions #8B with a distal end for engaging the opposite side of another rope connector for 8 A. These P.V.C pipes #9A will be wrapped with an impact absorptive material known as #30 as discussed for the pad #14 above. The limbs #25 and #26 will also be covered with similar nylon, vinyl, or canvas materials like disc #12 by pad #14.

[0037] With #8A being a revertible connector, 8B is a P.V.C. fitting designed for a P.V.C. pipe interference fit comprised of two semi-concentric portions known as #27 labeled male #8B and female #8A. A rope type connection known as #3 holds the semi-concentric portions #27 together. At the center of the cylinder #9A, there is a rope type connection with #10B (See FIG. 6A), which gives the limbs #25 and #26 their ability to be mounted to the disc #12. At the other end of the cylinder #9A is a hand grip (28) for kicking ability (See FIG. 1). The practitioner can then deliver kicks and punches as if there was a real live opponent and the limbs #25 and #26 would react as would human limbs.

[0038] When the device #10 is to be transported, the appendages as in #13 are disconnected along with the plastic disc #1, 2, 3, and 4. Then will be placed in an axial relationship to each other to be transported by the practitioner with the use of a duffle bag and is carried with a well-suited handle.

[0039] In the preferred embodiment the device #10 will utilize for appendage targets as in #13 to simulate the human arms and legs. The device will further employ four pairs of plastic mounting discs: #1, 2, 3, and 4 along with four pairs of hook and loop Velcro fastening straps as in #22.

[0040] It is to be understood that my invention is not limited to a sole embodiment as described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments with the scope of the following claims.
