Boxing frame and systems thereof

Abstract

A system for sports training having a frame disposed about a heavy bag. The frame can be suspended about the bag with various obstructions or frame members limiting open access to the bag. The frame has certain degrees of freedom and moves about the bag such that contact with the bag introduces a dynamic reaction with the frame thereby enhancing the boxing experience.

1 . A boxing training system, comprising: 
 a frame disposed about a heavy bag, wherein said frame has a plurality of members coupled together defining open sections between said members;    a frame rotation swivel coupled to said frame by support straps, allowing rotation of the frame; and    wherein as a user punches said heavy bag through said open sections, said frame dynamically reacts to contact with said heavy bag.    
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the frame has a geometrical shape selected from the group consisting of: circles, oblongs, squares, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, octagons, decagons, and dodecagons.  
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the frame is made of a material selected from at least one of the group consisting of: plastic, wood, rubber, foam, metal, and combinations thereof.  
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the frame is at least partially filled with a gas or a liquid.  
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the heavy bag is selected from one of the group consisting of: suspended and free standing.  
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 5  wherein the free standing heavy bag has a base portion and a top portion, and wherein a first end of a support member is coupled to said top portion of said heavy bag, and said frame is coupled to a second end of said support member by said support straps.  
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 6  further comprising a plate structure coupled to said second end of the support member, and wherein said securing straps are coupled to said plate.  
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 5  wherein the suspended heavy bag is secured to an upper structure by a securing line and wherein said rotation swivel engages said securing line and the supporting straps are coupled from said swivel to said frame.  
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising at least one tensioner for the support straps.  
   
   
       10 . A boxing training apparatus for a heavy bag, comprising: 
 a plurality of vertical members and a plurality of horizontal bracing members coupled to said vertical members forming a frame and defining open sections therebetween; and    a frame rotation swivel coupled to said frame and configured such that said frame is positioned about said heavy bag and said frame rotates independently about said heavy bag.    
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 10  further comprising at least one adjustable horizontal punch distribution member slideably disposed between said vertical members and redefining at least one of said open sections.  
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 11  wherein each horizontal punch distribution members is slidably disposed between the vertical members via a pair of T-connectors.  
   
   
       13 . The apparatus of  claim 12  wherein the T-connectors have an upper half and a lower half, the upper half having a plurality of notches that engage a plurality of tabs on the lower half in order to connect the upper half and the lower half.  
   
   
       14 . The apparatus of  claim 13  wherein the upper half and the lower half have a plurality of grooves on an interior surface for a placement of an  0 -ring section.  
   
   
       15 . The apparatus of  claim 10  wherein the horizontal framing members are coupled to the vertical framing members via a plurality of corner connectors.  
   
   
       16 . The apparatus of  claim 10  wherein the frame rotation swivel is comprised of a chain attachment member and a top interlocking flange, the chain attachment member and the top interlocking flange rotate independently of each other.  
   
   
       17 . The apparatus of  claim 10  wherein at least one of said vertical members and said horizontal member are colored.  
   
   
       18 . The apparatus of  claim 10  further comprising at least one covering for said frame.  
   
   
       19 . A method of boxing training, comprising: 
 providing a heavy bag;    deploying a frame about said heavy bag, said frame having a plurality of open sections and frame members, wherein said frame is independently rotatable about the heavy bag; and    punching said heavy bag through one of said open sections avoiding said frame members, wherein said frame reacts to contact with said heavy bag.    
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 19  further comprising redefining a size of said open sections using an adjustable distribution member.
