Abstract
The disclosed technology is a training device particularly well suited for training fighters as well as people simply interested in personal fitness. The device comprises a body portion defining an elongated flexible shape configure to be associated with a cover portion such as a modified focus mitt. The focus mitt defines a planar region further defining a target zone to be hit by the trainee. The body portion provides a flex region configured to absorb at least part of the inertia associated with a strike on the target zone to reduce the load on the trainer and trainee.
Claims20
A hand-held training device, said hand-held training device comprising:
- a body portion defining an elongated flexible shape comprising a head element, an elongated neck element defining a first neck end and an opposing second neck end, and a handle element;
- wherein said head element comprises a plate section and an interface section wherein said first neck end is one of (a) integrated with said interface section and (b) mechanically associated with said interface section and wherein said second neck end is one of (a) integrated with said handle element and (b) mechanically associated with said handle element;
- a cover-portion defining a head receiver configured for receiving at least part of said head element so that said cover-portion at least partially surrounds said head element and wherein said cover-portion defines a planar target area;
- and
- wherein at least part of said neck element defines a flex region configured to provide a predefined flex-action.

A hand-held training device, said hand-held training device comprising:
- a body portion defining an elongated flexible shape comprising a head element, an elongated neck element defining a first neck end and an opposing second neck end, and a handle element;
- wherein said head element comprises a plate section and an interface section wherein said first neck end is one of (a) integrated with said interface section and (b) mechanically associated with said interface section and wherein said second neck end is one of (a) integrated with said handle element and (b) mechanically associated with said handle element;
- wherein said plate section defines a center-void there through disposed at the approximate center of said head portion and wherein said plate section further defines a plurality of perimeter voids there through each disposed between the center-hole and the outer perimeter of said head element;
- wherein said interface section defines an interface void there though;
- a cover-portion defining a head receiver configured for receiving at least part of said head element so that said cover-portion at least partially surrounds said head element and wherein said cover-portion defines a planar target area;
- wherein at least part of said neck element defines a flex region further defining a neck angle between about 10 degrees and 45 degrees and wherein said flex region is configured to provide a predefined flex-action;
- and
- wherein the size and location of said center-void, each of said plurality of perimeter voids, and said interface void are selected so that the center of mass is defined within the said flex region and the overall weight of said training device is about 300 grams.
