Abstract: The scissor action pivoting heavy bag mount has an overhead attachment support bar, a minimum of two support arms each having at least one 360-degree movement hinge which allows for independent arm action to swing freely about a vertical axis in either direction in a 360-degree range also having a minim of one spring. The scissor action pivoting heavy bag mount is an exercise device that specifically supports the bag such that, hitting the bag allows the bag to move unpredictably in a variety of directions from the force of each strike thereby exercising, conditioning and developing the muscles of the user. The bag mount is designed so the bag will move laterally in a horizontal plane, with limited pendula motion having an endless path of movement simulating the movement of an opponent.

Abstract: A concussive reduction helmet attachment system which reduces the total area available for acceleration of the head in all axis, specifically designed to provide a measured reduction in accelerative force at the critical moment within the blow. A helmet attachment that reduces the factors that contribute to mechanical transfer of energy to the brain thereby reducing potential traumatic brain injury, concussions and neck compression. A helmet augmentation for body-contact sport helmets, also having utility for military ground based personnel helmets where blunt force trauma injury to the head and neck are apt to occur. A concussive helmet attachment having a Translational Axial Rotation Control Bracing System (TARCBS) that transfers mechanical energy to the torso, reduces available area for linear and rotational acceleration while reducing potential for neck and spinal injury.

Abstract: A protective headgear having an axial rotation control and bracing system, a head and neck linking system and impact safety warning system made for a single player. The axial rotation control and bracing system is designed to reduce linear and axial rotation of the head and allow for bracing; a headgear with multiple embodiments. Constructed of energy absorbent material to dissipate and transfer excessive impact energy to the torso of the player. A headgear which links the head and neck to improve effective mass thereby reducing head acceleration to minimize transfer of force and mechanical effect on the brain. A headgear having a non-removable electronic communication system designed for: measuring, collecting, monitoring, storing, interpreting and transmitting linear and rotational acceleration impact data. An impact safety warning system with pre-determined force threshold that when met or exceeded will identify and stop play so medical assessment can be conducted.

Abstract: A multi-mount heavy bag designed for a single user for striking with the intent of developing and conditioning users muscles and skill with at least one unique sculpted body side having contoured features and developed striking areas with at least one forward extended head like appendage that creates for the user a unique orientation to the bag simulating an opponent: providing a distinct opponent posture and specific exposed set of target areas. A bag that can be suspended from either the top, or mounted to a surface below that will provide multidirectional movement. A device of three embodiments of construction each has an option of a digital data analysis package that consists of appropriate components and software for: data storage, retrieval and or wireless transmission for displaying a visual and auditory measure of the intensity of the strike and providing analysis and comparison of performance data.

Abstract: A fighting arts shield like device designed to be carried or mounted. Through hitting the apparatus the contestant can condition and develop muscles and technique. The device may be either solid or hollow. The shield front is specifically developed to represent striking areas found on a human target and developed such that a properly delivered strike will land solidly; improper or techniques delivered from the wrong distance will not land appropriately. The backside is uniquely developed with features that enhance the holder's ability to hold and direct the shield thereby enhancing its utility. The shield is carried in a boxing on-guard position. The shield like device may have an optional electrical component that allows measurements to be made of the speed, power and force vectors of strikes where data may be instantaneously presented by audio and visual indicators or disaggregated or used at a later date.
