Whole body-shaped striking dummy including joints

Abstract

Proposed is a whole body-shaped striking dummy including joints. In the whole body-shaped striking dummy, a human-sized manikin is realized using elastic joints including an elastic neck joint, an elastic waist joint, and elastic thigh joints. The manikin is configured to be supported on a floor using a rear support pivotably provided on the rear end of the manikin. The elastic joints of the manikin have reliable ranges of elastic movement in front-rear and right-left directions. Accordingly, the whole body-shaped striking dummy is used in martial arts training, such as Taekwondo, in the same manner as a real human body, thereby improving the efficiency of striking training.
