1. A device for competitive training, comprising:

  • a base;

    a torso attached to the base, the torso having a right side, a left side, a top end, and a bottom end, the bottom end having a right side and a left side;

    a torso waist joint connector for attaching the bottom end of the torso to the base;

    a head attached to the top end of the torso;

    a head neck joint connector for attaching the head to the top end of the torso;

    a right arm attached to the right side of the torso and a left arm attached to the left side of the torso;

    a right arm shoulder joint connector for attaching the right arm to the right side of the torso, and a left arm shoulder joint connector for attaching the left arm to the left side of the torso;

    means for moving the torso;

    means for moving the head;

    means for moving the arms;

    a plurality of user motion sensors disposed on the device for sensing the motion of a user of the device, the user motion sensors communicating with and cooperating with the means for moving the torso, the means for moving the head, and the means for moving the arms to move the torso, head, and arms in response to the motion of a user of the device sensed by the user motion sensors;

    a plurality of user contact sensors disposed on the device for sensing the contact of a user of the device with the user contact sensors, the user contact sensors communicating with and cooperating with the means for moving the torso, the means for moving the head, and the means for moving the arms, to move the torso, head, and arms in response to the contact of a user of the device sensed by the user contact sensors;

    means for controlling the movements of the torso, head, and arms, the means for controlling the movements communicating with the user motion sensors, the user contact sensors, and the means for moving the torso, and the means for moving the head, and the means for moving the arms to selectively control the movements of the torso, head, and arms;

    wherein the right arm is comprised of a right upper arm attached to a right lower arm;

    wherein the left arm is comprised of a left upper arm attached to a left lower arm;

    wherein the right upper arm communicates with the right arm shoulder joint connector, and wherein the left upper arm communicates with the left arm shoulder joint connector;

    a right hand attached to the right lower arm and a left hand attached to the left lower arm; and

    right means for sensing an impact of the right hand of the device with a user of the device, the right means for sensing the impact disposed on the right hand; and

    further comprising left means for sensing an impact of the left hand of the device with a user of the device, the left means for sensing the impact disposed on the left hand;

    wherein the right and left means for sensing the impact cooperate with the means for moving the right arm and the means for moving the left arm and the means for moving the arms and means for controlling the movements of the torso, head, and arms so as to decelerate a thrust of the right arm and the left arm upon sensing contact of the right hand and the left hand with a user of the device.
