Electronic scoring system, method and armour for use in martial arts

Punchbox.co is a wall mounted punching bag that has a system that records every strike and has a programmable electronic recording module.

Abstract The invention titled Punchbox.co is a wall mounted punching bag with a programmable electronic recording module that is mounted just above the punching bag. The programmable electronic recording module records every strike and has the ability to allow for presetting interval training for personal and professional fitness applications. The punching bag has several sewn on marked target areas and behind each one a separate bellows unit is mounted. When the target area is hit a hollow 4mm diameter air tube connected to that particular bellows/target delivers the pressurised air from the impact of the strike to a pneumatic switch which signals the strike to the programmable electronic recording module. The programmable electronic recording module has an easy to read digital display screen that responds in real time/immediately with the number of strikes made and number of seconds left in the round. The invention also allows for pre-programming a training session, recording the results ...
