US Patent 11938391 Training pad

The present invention provides a training pad for preventing injury to a trainer, in particular a boxing trainer, when presenting the training pad for striking, and further provides a focused location for receiving repeated strikes, comprising a target pad having a target surface and a resiliently deformable region located behind the target surface, and a securing member configured to secure the target pad to a first arm segment adjacent to a second arm segment. The first arm segment is proximal to the second arm segment. The resiliently deformable region is arranged to substantially absorb the energy of a strike received at the target surface, and the target surface is configured to indicate to a user a strike may be made thereon.
