Abstract

The present invention relates to a martial art training tool that emits when hit. The martial art training tool includes a light emitting sensor module which is detachably mounted therein and emits light in response to a punch or kick applied to a training body manufactured for martial art training.

Thus, when the martial art training tool is used, trainees or players can immediately check a punch or kick during training or game, which makes it possible to increase concentration. Furthermore, since the martial art training tool can be used for a long time by replacing the light emitting sensor module, the maintenance cost may be reduced.

Claims

1. A martial art training tool that emits light when hit, comprising:

one or more light emitting sensor modules configured to emit light in response to an applied punch or kick;

a training body having a housing space formed therein such that the light emitting sensor module is attached to or detached from the housing space, the housing space having a shape corresponding to the light emitting sensor module; and

a protective cover formed to cover the training body.

2. The martial art training tool of claim 1, wherein the light emitting sensor module is divided into a plurality of concentric circles, and one or more lamps are arranged in each of the concentric circles so as to emit limit according to the position of a punch or kick applied to the concentric circle.

3. The martial art training tool of claim 1, wherein the light emitting sensor module comprises:

a housing;

a lamp;

a sensor configured to output a voltage corresponding to a punch or kick applied from outside;

a battery; and

a controller driven by power provided from the battery, and configured to change any one of the intensity and color of light emitted from the lamp in response to the output of the sensor.

4. The martial art training tool of claim 3, further comprising a first diffusion plate provided on an exposed surface of the housing in a light emission direction of the lamp, and configured to diffuse light emitted from the lamp.

5. The martial art training tool of claim 4, wherein the first diffusion plate has a light scattering pattern formed on one surface thereof.

6. The martial art training tool of claim 3, wherein the lamp comprises first and second lamps, and

the first and second lamps emit light in opposite directions to each other.

7. The martial art training tool of claim 3, further comprising one or more lamp protectors provided on the inner circumferential surface of the housing and positioned between a contact surface of the housing, to which a punch or kick is applied, and a surface facing the contact surface.

8. The martial art training tool of claim 1, wherein the training body comprises the body of any one of a body protector, a head protector, a training mitt, and a training belt.

9. The martial art training tool of claim 1, wherein the protective cover has a through-hole formed in one region thereof, and a second diffusion plate formed of a transparent or translucent material is provided in the through-hole.

10. The martial art training tool of claim 8, wherein the second diffusion plate has a light scattering pattern formed on one surface thereof.

11. The martial art training tool of claim 1, wherein the protective cover has a cut surface formed at one side thereof, and the cut surface and a surface facing the cut surface are connected to each other through any one of a zipper, a Velcro tape, and a snap button.

12. The martial art training tool of claim 1, wherein the light emitting sensor module is force-fitted to the housing space.
