Abstract: A reflexive training apparatus for mixed martial arts training. The training apparatus includes limbs with joints that simulate actual human joints and also simulate how a human joint would respond to different pressures, bars, locks, holds, breaks, and hyperextensions. In addition, the training apparatus is configured to go into several guard positions and to respond to a user's actions in a manner similar to how a real opponent would respond during a grappling session. In some embodiments, the training apparatus comprises a composite of materials that make the training apparatus sturdy enough to simulate the weight and feel of an actual person.
