Description
- This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/445,768 filed on Feb. 23, 2011 and entitled “MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING DEVICE,” which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- This description relates generally to a chest protector for martial arts training and competitive sparring.
- Conventional martial arts chest protectors are generally made of padded material so that they can be worn to protect the user's body from physical contact. A conventional chest protector has front torso and side torso covering members, and shoulder straps. The shoulder straps can be tied together such that the chest protector covers the torso of the user. Traditional chest protectors generally have colored portions to differentiate two opponents from each other during competition sparring. The chest protector is sized and configured to allow the user the freedom to move, kick, and punch freely.
- Conventional chest protectors are generally used during competitive sparring. During competitive sparring, traditionally, judges watch for competitors to get a clean hit to scoring areas of the chest protector. While this method has been used for many years, there has been controversy over scoring because of human error or the judges' subjectivity as to determining whether a clean hit to a scoring area of the chest protector has been made or not.
- When training with traditional chest protectors, the only way a person knows if he/she hit the opponent wearing the traditional chest protector hard enough to register a point is to see visual feedback in terms of the opponent getting injured or for an instructor to comment on the power level of the person's kick or punch. Thus, the feedback regarding the punch and/or kick is provided by a person, either by the opponent's subjective opinion and/or by a third person, such as the instructor, who uses his/her expertise to make the subjective judgment.
