Martial arts sleeve grip trainer

Abstract

A martial arts sleeve grip trainer includes a tubular body formed of a first material, a second material attached to the one or more ends of the tubular body to reinforce the second material, and one or more attachment points. The attachment points may include one or more grommets extending through the tubular body and the second material. The configuration of these features may enable the martial arts sleeve grip trainer to simulate the sleeve of another person for purpose of training sleeve grips while preventing significant wear on the martial arts sleeve grip trainer in order to prolong the useful life of the martial arts sleeve grip trainer.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A martial arts sleeve grip trainer, comprising:
 a tubular body defining a first end, a second end opposite the first end, an outer surface, and an inner surface opposite the outer surface that defines an aperture extending from the first end to the second end;   reinforcing material coupled to the tubular body around a perimeter of the first end on the inner surface and extending over onto the outer surface;   a first grommet coupled to the first end extending through the reinforcing material on the outer surface and the reinforcing material on the inner surface; and   a second grommet coupled to the first end opposite the first grommet across the aperture, the second grommet through the reinforcing material on the outer surface and the reinforcing material on the inner surface.   
     
     
         2 . The martial arts sleeve grip trainer of  claim 1 , further comprising additional reinforcing material coupled to the tubular body around an additional perimeter of the second end on the inner surface. 
     
     
         3 . The martial arts sleeve grip trainer of  claim 1 , wherein the first grommet and the second grommet are metal grommets. 
     
     
         4 . The martial arts sleeve grip trainer of  claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing material comprises duck fabric. 
     
     
         5 . The martial arts sleeve grip trainer of  claim 1 , wherein the first end forms a circle around the aperture. 
     
     
         6 . The martial arts sleeve grip trainer of  claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing material includes a tongue that extends from the inner surface to the outer surface. 
     
     
         7 . The martial arts sleeve grip trainer of  claim 1 , wherein the tubular body is a uniform length from the first end to the second end. 
     
     
         8 . A martial arts sleeve grip trainer, comprising:
 a tubular body formed of a first material defining a first end, a second end opposite the first end, an outer surface, and an inner surface opposite the outer surface that defines an aperture extending from the first end to the second end;   a second material coupled to the tubular body around a perimeter of the first end on the inner surface and extending over onto the outer surface;   a first attachment point coupled to the first end extending through the second material on the outer surface and the second material on the inner surface; and   a second attachment point coupled to the first end extending through the second material on the outer surface and the second material on the inner surface.   
     
     
         9 . The martial arts sleeve grip trainer of  claim 8 , wherein the second material is coarser than the first material. 
     
     
         10 . The martial arts sleeve grip trainer of  claim 8 , wherein the second material is sewn to the first material. 
     
     
         11 . The martial arts sleeve grip trainer of  claim 8 , wherein the second material extends around the perimeter of the first end on the outer surface. 
     
     
         12 . The martial arts sleeve grip trainer of  claim 8 , wherein part of the outer surface at an edge of the first end is exposed around the second material. 
     
     
         13 . The martial arts sleeve grip trainer of  claim 8 , wherein the tubular body is cylindrical. 
     
     
         14 . The martial arts sleeve grip trainer of  claim 8 , further comprising additional second material coupled to the second end. 
     
     
         15 . A martial arts sleeve grip trainer, comprising:
 a body defining a first end, a second end opposite the first end, at least one outer surface, and at least one inner surface opposite the at least one outer surface that defines a space;   reinforcing material coupled to the body at the first end on the at least one inner surface and extending over onto the at least one outer surface;   a first attachment point extending through the reinforcing material on the first end; and   a second attachment point extending through the reinforcing material on the first end.   
     
     
         16 . The martial arts sleeve grip trainer of  claim 15 , wherein the body comprises at least two flaps joined at least at the first end.
