Benefits of technology

[0014] In accordance with such deficiencies in conventional striking devices as discussed above the present invention provides a novel punching and/or kicking bag, or otherwise training bag, which comprises in its broadest sense, a striking bag means comprising an outer covering enclosure or skin, itself comprising a striking surface area, and a filling means, particularly that used in conventional heavy bags, situated within the outer covering enclosure, and wherein the training bag compr...

Problems solved by technology

A problem with such heavy bags, however, has been in maintaining consistency of shape and resistance during use, especially prolonged use over a period of time, or more particularly in maintaining placement or otherwise consistency in displacement of bag filling material.
The force of gravity also contributes to a gradual migration and shifting of filler material from the top portion of the bag to lower portions, especially when being pummeled by repeated punches and kicks and resulting in an uneven distribution of filler material with concomitant uneven and inconsistent resistance to contact, and a less than desired workout or practice session.
With such unexpected pockets of reduced resistance the bag can also becomes dangerous to an exerted force without much in the way to stop it.
Further, the application of force or blows to an unexpectedly dense or resistant surface or area may prove equally harmful or dangerous.

Abstract

The present invention provides a novel training bag means which can be positioned during use to provide consistent resistance over its entire surface impact area to impact from blows from punching and kicking and the like.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention is related to exercise and athletic training apparatus and more particularly to athletic training bags useful in conducting athletic and rehabilitative workouts and for honing one's pugilistic and martial arts skills. [0002] 2. Background of the Invention [0003] Training and punching bags of varying styles, shapes and sizes are almost certain to be found in any gym or athletic facility where pugilistic and / or martial arts workouts and training exercises are conducted. These athletic devices are virtually mandatory in developing one's skills in these areas, and are synonymous with the boxing arts in general. Conventional punching and / or kicking bags are available in a myriad of sizes and shapes, with all typically constituting a ball, pear or elongated cylindrical configuration, and formed of an outer skin, such as leather on a synthetic composite composition, with a filler material within the skin, such as an air bladder or other f...
