Abstract

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.

Dependent claims

A grappling dummy having a generally human shape, the grappling dummy comprising:

a trunk defining a midline;
a head extending longitudinally from the trunk and angled in a forward direction from the midline of the trunk;
two arms, each one of the two arms including a proximal arm segment extending from the trunk and a distal arm segment extending from the proximal arm segment, each one of the proximal arm segments and the distal arm segments lying in a generally transverse plane with respect to the midline of the trunk;
a leg enclosure, the leg enclosure including a first proximal leg segment extending from the trunk and a first distal leg segment extending from the first proximal leg segment, an opposing second proximal leg segment extending from the trunk and a second distal leg segment extending from the second proximal leg segment, the first distal leg segment and the second distal leg segment connected together by an elongate connecting leg segment, each one of the first proximal leg segment, the first distal leg segment, the second proximal leg segment, the second distal leg segment, and the connecting leg segment lying in a second plane angled in a forward direction from the midline of the trunk;
padding disposed about the trunk, the head, the two arms, and the leg enclosure;
and
a cloth jacket assembly configured to be worn around the trunk and the two arms, the cloth jacket assembly divided at its back into a first trunk section with a first arm covering attached thereto and a second arm section with a second arm covering attached thereto, the first trunk section and the second trunk section configured to connect at the back to form a cloth jacket open at its front, the first trunk section and the second trunk section connectable by a fastener assembly at the back.
