  • Publication number: 20230285826
    Abstract: The reflective training device is an equipment that integrates mirror reflective technology to training sports, especially combat sports. The device aims to give athletic users an instantaneous way to observe detailed nuanced movement specific to the user's sport and or activity. An athletes' ability to perceive oneself in real time while performing true game time and competition movements can be revolutionary and change the dynamics in a multitude of sports and physical activity. To accomplish this, a mirror reflective fabric, mirror reflective material and/or hardened mirror reflective matter is added on to the training device, so as to give the user feedback on how intense a movement may be. The device further enables users to gauge how low or how well they are positioned while performing specific movements. Further, the training device includes different cushioning layers and support structures that enable users to have a sturdy and smooth reflective surface.
