AI Technical Summary
Conventional body protectors primarily focus on protecting the wearer's body without considering the protection of the practice partner or the feel of impact during martial arts training. Additionally, large and thick body mitts become cumbersome due to their weight, making it difficult to hold them firmly against the body.
The body mitt comprises multiple layers of impact-absorbing materials with varying hardness, a band body connected to the upper end of the mitt body, and adjustable shoulder straps. The mitt body includes a cover with holes for air communication and a space-forming portion to reduce direct impact on sensitive areas.
The body mitt effectively reduces impact on the wearer's body while improving protection and feel for the practice partner, with the adjustable straps ensuring a secure fit and minimizing weight-related issues.
