  • The invention pertains to the field of “heavy exercise bags” used in the conditioning phase of martial arts, sports and physical fitness. Existing heavy bags are limited to single functions such as striking or grappling. Hanging bags are restricted to striking and in general cannot be utilized for grappling. Basically, the sole function of a hanging bag is strictly for striking to develop boxing and kickboxing skills only.

  • Striking from the clinch is a solo specific training exercise where the practitioner holds the bag in a clinch type position by the various grips. Clinching is defined as having some sort of grip and control on an opponent (bag) while in a standing position. In this scenario of “clinching”, the striker will use close-in weapons such as knees, elbows or short hand punches to strike the opponent while maintaining strict control over said opponent (bag).
  • Ground and Pound is the action of having your opponent (bag) down on the ground while inflicting a barrage of strikes on the opponent thus maintaining a dominant position to strike and control. To maintain this level of control, the body weight is used on the downed opponent (bag) with grappling techniques to maintain a clear advantage. The bag is mobile enough to be used as an opponent that when down is venerable to be slammed and struck in the downed position.

    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The Invention is a redesigned heavy striking bag that has a series of grips (straps) on the outer plane so that the bag can be grappled, thrown, hung, lifted, carried, maneuvered or held upright in place. These various actions are normally executed with several different bags; however, this redesigned bag replaces the existing bags by functioning as a single do-all bag.
  • As part of the series of improvements the Invention is fortified with an iron-lifting bar located in the center of the bag. The sand-filled PVC sealed pipes serve as weights and as a stiffener to keep the bag from sagging or collapsing after a series of strikes. Conventional bags have a tendency to sag and thus lose their form after some rough usage.
  • To protect the striker from injury due to the centered weight lifting bar and weights, a thick layer of high-density foam encloses the bar and weights. This preliminary assembly is then inserted in an exterior vinyl covered canvass bag that is sealed with a Velcro lined locking cap. The outer bag, with grip assemblies in place, is covered with a smooth vinyl coating that will protect the user against skin abrasions, cuts or chafing from rough contact with the bag.
