Exercising device
First Claim
1. An exercising device of the type that may be used in hand to hand combat training or to enhance hand, eye and foot reflexes and coordination, the device comprising:
- a central longitudinal body generally vertically oriented; and
,an upper and a lower cross member, each of said cross members having two opposing ends, said cross members pivotally mounted on said central body with said opposing ends extending radially outward in opposite directions from said central body, said cross members rotatable about the longitudinal axis of said central body such that when one of said ends of said upper or lower cross members is struck by the hand or foot of an operator said end moves rotationally away from said operator while said opposing end of said cross member moves rotationally toward said operator thereby requiring said operator to react defensively to avoid being hit by said opposing end of said cross member,said central body including an upper and a lower shaft and each of said upper and said lower cross members including a bore extending therethrough, said bores being generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of said respective cross members, said upper and lower shafts of said central body being received within said bores of said upper and lower cross members, respectively, thereby permitting said cross members to rotate about said respective shafts and hence said central body.

Abstract
An exercising device of the type that may be used in hand to hand combat training or to enhance hand, eye and foot reflexes and coordination is disclosed. The device comprises a central longitudinal body which is generally vertically oriented and has at least one elongate cross member, having two opposing ends, pivotally mounted on the central body. The said opposing ends extend radially outward in opposite directions from said central body allowing the cross member to rotate about the longitudinal axis of the central body. When one of said ends of the cross member is struck by the hand or foot of an operator the end moves rotationally away from said operator while the opposing end moves rotationally toward the operator thereby requiring the operator to react defensively to avoid being hit by the opposing end.
