Self-Defense Training Dummy

Abstract

Disclosed is a self-defense training dummy having a top section with punching bags, at least one arm section, and at least one leg section. Each of the sections are removably connected to its adjacent sections in a stacked orientation. The top section and the arm sections each include a plurality of arms extending outwardly therefrom. The leg section includes a plurality of legs extending outwardly in a downward direction. The present invention further provides impact sensors for detecting when the dummy is hit, an accelerometer for determining the strength of the hit, a processor, a memory, LED light indicators, and a speaker. The processor is adapted to illuminate the LED light indicators to provide a visual indicator of the location and the strength of each hit. Similarly, the processor activates the speaker to play a sound to indicate the location and / or the strength of each hit.
