Abstract

A boxing device that fights back in response to an attackers blows to simulate a boxing match comprises a boxing bag, a pair of padded arms each having a boxing glove at its end, and a pair of reel type pieces wherein each of said reel type piece works as an axis holding each a padded arm that rotates around the piece in response to an impact applied to the boxing bag.

Claims

1. A boxing device that fight backs, comprising:

an impact absorbing element,

a substantially fixed impact absorbing element supporting structure comprising ceiling attachments and floor attachments physically connecting the impact absorbing element to the ceiling and the floor;

a boxing arm having a first and second distal ends, wherein said boxing arm comprises a boxing arm body, a boxing glove at the boxing arm'"'"'s first distal end and a ball bearing at a boxing arm'"'"'s second distal end,

a pivot duct comprising a tubular body with two distal ends, wherein said pivot duct comprises different dimensions preventing the vertical displacement of the ball bearing, wherein said duct'"'"'s first distal end is connected to the ceiling attachments and the duct'"'"'s second distal end has a rocking movement assistant element,

a funnel shaped outsized portion comprising holding elements,

a base, wherein said base is connected to said holding elements and to the floor attachments, and

wherein said assistant element is positioned inside said funnel shaped portion assisting the rocking movement of the boxing arm.

2. The boxing device of claim 1, wherein said funnel shaped portion substantially rests over the assistant element and around the tubular body with a space between said tubular body and said funnel portion.

3. The boxing device of claim 1, wherein said ball bearing comprises elastic elements to control the boxing body arm movement.

4. The boxing device of claim 1, wherein said padded arms and said impact absorbing element further comprise pressure sensors on the padded arms gloves and on specific areas of the impact absorbing element to count the punches that a trainee receives or lands to give the simulation of a boxing match.

5. The boxing device of claim 1, wherein said holding elements are distributed around the funnel'"'"'s outsized portion, surrounds the impact absorbing element and retains said absorbing impact element on top of the base.

6. A boxing device that fight backs, comprising:

a hollow conical structure comprising a small diameter distal end and a large diameter distal end,

a cylindrical portion comprising a cylindrical elongated body cylindrical distal end and a cylindrical proximal end,

wherein said cylindrical proximal end is attached to the small diameter distal end,

wherein said cylindrical elongated body extends away from the connection with said small diameter distal end in a direction opposed to the large diameter distal end,

and a boxing arm comprising a curved body with a first distal end and a second distal end, wherein the first distal end has a cylindrical body and the second distal end has a glove.

7. The boxing device of claim 6, wherein said cylindrical body'"'"'s diameter is positioned around the cylindrical elongated body for the rotational movement of the boxing arm.

8. The boxing device of claim 6, wherein said boxing arm comprises elastic elements allowing the boxing arm to bend.
