Abstract
A door or wall mounted training boxing apparatus allows a user to practice a variety of different martial arts techniques without having to modify the apparatus. A spring and one or more struts within the apparatus allows a user to practice straight punches, uppercuts, hooks, use as a speedbag, kicks, and elbows. Adding to the versatility of the apparatus, the apparatus may be temporarily installed in a doorway, for example as a piece of home workout equipment, or more permanently installed against a wall or other surface. Additionally, the apparatus includes an air valve that allows for resistance adjustment of the punching ball. Closing the air valve increases the air pressure within the apparatus, increasing the resistance. Opening the air valve decreases the air pressure, decreasing the resistance.
Claims21
A martial arts apparatus comprising:
- a mount;
- a projection extending from the mount, the projection having a spring extending from the mount, a hollow arm extending from the spring, the hollow arm defining an internal volume, an air valve in fluid communication with the internal volume of the hollow arm, the air valve having an open position and a closed position, wherein the internal volume of the hollow arm is at least partially sealed in the closed position, an extension rod extending from the hollow arm, wherein the extension rod is at least partially inserted into the internal volume of the hollow arm, and a punching ball extending from the extension rod.
A method of practicing martial arts comprising:
- providing a martial arts apparatus having a mount, a spring extending from the mount, a hollow arm extending from the spring, the hollow arm having a length and defining an internal volume holding a volume of air, an air valve in fluid communication with the internal volume of the hollow arm, the air valve having an open position and a closed position, an extension rod extending from the hollow arm, wherein the extension rod is at least partially inserted into the internal volume of the hollow arm, and a punching ball;
- striking the punching ball in a direction along a longitudinal axis defined by the hollow arm with the air valve in the open position so as to insert the extension rod further into the hollow arm, displacing the extension rod from an initial position;
- expelling at least part of the volume of air out of the internal volume of the hollow arm through the air valve in the open position;
- and returning the extension rod to the initial position.
A martial arts apparatus comprising:
- a mount;
- a projection extending outwardly from the mount, the projection defining a distal end to which a punching member is connected;
- wherein the projection is interconnected with the mount via a support arrangement that enables movement of the projection in a side-to-side direction relative to the mount, wherein the support arrangement includes a biasing arrangement that moves the projection and the punching member to a rest position subsequent to the punching member being subjected to a sideways force by a user;
- and
- wherein the punching member is interconnected with the projection via a punching member mounting arrangement that enables movement of the punching member in an inward-outward direction relative to the mount, wherein the punching member mounting arrangement includes a biasing arrangement that moves the punching member outwardly to the rest position subsequent to the punching member being subjects to an inward force by the user.
A martial arts apparatus comprising:
- a mount;
- an arm extending from the mount;
- a projection extending from the mount, the projection having a punching ball connected to a distal end of the projection;
- a linkage connecting the arm and the projection, the linkage moveable in at least one direction, and wherein the arm is rotatable around a center axis defined by the arm.
A martial arts apparatus comprising:
- a mount;
- an arm extending from the mount;
- a projection extending from the mount, the projection having a punching ball connected to a distal end of the projection;
- a linkage connecting the arm and the projection, the linkage moveable in at least one direction, and wherein the linkage includes at least one strut.
