Simulators for practicing blows occupy a special place among the mandatory equipment that is used during boxing training. It is thanks to such adaptations that the athlete has the opportunity to develop an accurate, accentuated blow, without the need to involve a sparring partner in the classes. Let's look at what simulators for practicing blows are available today for martial arts fans.
Punching bag
The basic, most common tool for practicing blows is a punching bag. The price of such equipment, depending on weight, material of manufacture, filler and class, ranges from 800 to several tens of thousands of rubles.
Punching bags that are suspended from the ceiling by special fasteners are actively used not only in gyms, but can also be installed at home. Such tools are compact, easy to use, suitable for testing the strength and frequency of impacts.
However, the standard punching bag does not imply a special variety in the training process. In addition, such equipment allows you to work out only direct and side impacts.
Stretch Pear
It is a compact simulator in the shape of a lemon. The main advantage of a boxing projectile is a quick return to its original position after striking. For a repeated, accurate hit on the device, extraordinary dexterity, good speed and reaction are required. All this is practiced during regular training using a projectile.
How much is a punching bag? The price of models intended for beginner athletes starts in the domestic market from about 2000 rubles.
Pear with roller
A standard punching bag allows you to work out only straight blows, but it is absolutely not suitable for work in the direction from bottom to top. The pear with a roller contains a thickening, the position of which can be regulated by the athlete along the entire length of the projectile. Such a symbiosis of an ordinary punching bag and a specialized nozzle in the form of a roller opens up the possibility for practicing uppercuts, striking in any direction.
Impact dummy
The device in the form of a mannequin imitates the human body, which becomes extremely convenient if it is necessary to practice accented blows in specific zones. Usually, a fairly malleable polyurethane foam is used as the filler. The toughest models are filled with water.
Simulators for practicing blows in this category have the ability to adjust the vertical stance in height. This, in turn, allows the athlete to set the projectile in the most convenient position, based on the growth of the alleged opponent.
Simulator for practicing blows "German"
Structurally consists of a realistic dummy and a stable base. The base of the projectile is filled with bulk solids or water. Such a simulator is equipped with numerous mounts that allow you to fix the position of the mannequin in various positions. When a powerful blow is applied, the device oscillates to the sides. Therefore, getting on it is much more difficult than on a heavy, static pear.
The main advantage of the simulator is the exact repetition of the relief of the human body. This makes it possible to carry out targeted work on the hull, aiming strikes in the most vulnerable areas.
Sparring mannequins
They contain elements that mimic the human limbs. Such simulators are suitable for practicing blows, as well as for performing various kinds of captures. Actively used by athletes who engage in
mixed martial arts. The main advantage of the projectile is its versatility.
Demix simulator
It is presented in the form of a stable base and a vertical rack with a small-sized punching bag of spherical shape in the upper part. The shell is mounted on the floor and does not need additional fixing. The base of the simulator is filled with water. The pear can be adjusted in height from 120 to 160 cm, depending on the height of the athlete.
During operation, the pear quickly moves to the sides and returns to its previous position. Therefore, the Demix kick trainer is ideal for athletes who focus on practicing kick speed and improving reaction.
Hydropneumatic simulator
The lower supporting part is presented in the form of a soft cone. This feature not only adds stability to the device, but also opens up the possibility for working with the legs on the lower level. Hands imitating elements are fixed in a raised, protective post. This allows the athlete to hone the technique, finding gaps in the defense of the opponent.
Finally
A variety of simulators for practicing blows contributes to the selection of exactly the device that best meets the needs of the athlete, allows you to develop individual equipment. The use of non-standard options makes it possible to diversify training, to conduct individual classes at a high emotional level.
Most of the above solutions do not require a significant amount of free space and are suitable for operation in ordinary city apartments.
