Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a training device, for example, a training device used for practicing karate kumite. [Background technology]
[0002] Traditionally, in karate kumite and other exercises, the winner is determined by punching and kicking each other. In such cases, direct contact with the opponent's chest or abdomen can result in injury. Therefore, it is an important issue to make karate kumite and other exercises safer.
[0003] As a conventional technique for safely practicing karate kumite and the like, Patent Document 1 provides martial arts equipment characterized in that the shock-absorbing material in the areas that receive the shock from blows during competition contains layers of high-impact-absorbing, high-density foam material with excellent shock-absorbing capabilities.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-321209 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide equipment that allows adults and children to practice safely and enjoyably without injury. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The invention described in claim 1 provides a training device comprising a training device main body that can be worn by a user, a point unit that can be detachably attached to the training device main body, and attachment means provided on at least one of the training device main body and the point unit for attaching the training device main body and the point unit, wherein the attachment means is a magnet. [Effects of the Invention]
[0007] According to this invention, victory or defeat is decided by the opponent's acquisition of the magnetically attached point part, which allows for safer training without contact with the opponent's chest or abdomen. Furthermore, since it is a simple act of acquiring each other's point parts rather than a punch or kick, it is easier for both players and opponents to understand the outcome. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0008] [Figure 1] 1 is a development view showing the configuration of a training device according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] 1 is a diagram showing a state in which a training device according to an embodiment of the present invention is worn by a user. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0009] A preferred embodiment of the training device of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. (1) Overview of the embodiment In competitions, the winner is decided by the opponent's acquisition of the magnetically attached point part, which means there is no contact with the opponent's chest or abdomen, making it possible to enjoy training more safely.In addition, since it is a simple act of acquiring each other's point parts rather than a punch or kick, it is easier for both players and opponents to understand who has won or lost.
[0010] (2) Details of the embodiment In this embodiment, a training tool 1 will be described as an example. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a training device 1 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the state in which the training tool 1 of this embodiment is worn by a user.
[0011] As shown in FIG. 1, the training tool 1 of this embodiment has a training tool main body 2 that is worn by the user, and a point part 8 that is detachably attached to the training tool main body 2.
[0012] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the training device main body 2 has a chest fixing part 3 that is fixed by wrapping it around the user's chest, a waist fixing part 5 that is fixed by wrapping it around the user's waist, and a hollow part 6 that is fitted over the user's head.
[0013] The chest fixing part 3 is provided with a metal fitting 4 for fixing the chest of the user, and a magnet 7 that functions as an attachment means for attaching to a point part 8 described later.
[0014] In this embodiment, the metal fittings 4 are attached to both ends of the chest fixing part 3. In addition, although the metal fittings 4 are square ring-shaped metal fittings in this embodiment, they are not limited to this and may be any metal fittings. Also, the user's chest may be fixed by tying both ends together without attaching the metal fittings 4.
[0015] In this embodiment, the magnet 7 is provided on the chest fixing part 3 in front of the user, and uses a stronger button magnet. Note that in this embodiment, the magnet 7 is also provided on one end of the point part 8 (described later) and forms a pair, but this is not limiting, and it is also possible to provide the magnet 7 on only one side and attach a thin metal plate to the other side for adhesion.
[0016]
[0017] In this embodiment, the waist fixing part 5 fixes the waist of the user by fastening both ends of the waist fixing part 5. Although nothing is attached to both ends of the waist fixing part 5 in this embodiment, any metal fittings may be attached instead. This allows the user to easily fix the waist.
[0018] As shown in FIG. 2, the hollow portion 6 is a space for the user's head to pass through.
[0019] The point unit 8 has a point 9 which is a target to be acquired by each other in a karate kumite, and a magnet 7.
[0020] In this embodiment, the point 9 is made of plastic and is spherical. This makes the point 9 lighter, so the user feels less uncomfortable wearing the training tool 1, making karate kumite easier. In addition, because it is inexpensive, even if an opponent breaks the point 9 of the point unit 8 due to excessive force when grabbing it, there is less loss. Note that, although the shape of the point 9 is spherical in this embodiment, it is not limited to this and can be any shape.
[0021] In this embodiment, the point 9 is a bright yellow-green, but is not limited to this and can be any bright color. By using a bright color, the points 9 of both players in karate kumite are easier to see, and when an opponent tries to get a point 9, the opponent's hand is less likely to accidentally come into direct contact with the user's body, making it safer to enjoy practice.
[0022] In this embodiment, the magnet 7 is attached to the magnet 7 of the chest fixing part 3 by magnetic force. Furthermore, while a stronger button magnet is used as the magnet 7 in this embodiment, this is not limited to this, and any other strong magnet can be used. This prevents the magnet from coming off even with the intense movements of karate sparring, and allows the opponent to remove it by simply grabbing and tearing it off, making it easier to reattach. In this embodiment, as described above, magnets 7 are provided on both the chest fixing part 3 and the point part 8 of the training apparatus main body 2, but it is also possible to provide a magnet on only one side and have the other be a thin metal plate.
[0023] As explained above, according to the training device 1 of this embodiment, the chest fixing part 3 of the training device main body 2 and the point part 8 that is the target of attack for the opponent in karate kumite are attached with a magnet 7, so that the opponent in the kumite can pick up the point part 8, making it possible to practice more safely and enjoyably without injury.
[0024] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, and various modifications and changes (including combinations of multiple modifications) are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention as set forth in the claims of the utility model registration. For example, in the described embodiments, a case where victory or defeat is decided by scoring points against each other in karate kumite practice was described, but the present invention is not limited to karate kumite, and may also be applied to boxing, martial arts, or other martial arts in which strikes are delivered to the body of any opponent.
