ABSTRACT:
A suit for use in combat type sports easily secured and removable for wearing by a user's body to protect same from damage by blows which may be struck by parts of another suit. The suit includes apparatus which completely encloses a user's body and has a generally non-flexible and preferably lightweight outer armor which is padded on the inside to absorb shock during use. A helmet is securely attached to an upper body armor so that the shock of a blow to the head area of a user will transfer to the bottom of the upper body armor and thereby eliminate any damage to the head. Lower arm components enclose the lower arms of a user and include portions which are gripped by the user's hands, and hence, the ends of these components which extend past the hands will generally make contact in punching another suited opponent during use. Separate components enclose and are adapted to provide maneuverability of a user's arms, legs, feet and waist or torso. Blows may also be struck with the helmet and components enclosing and protecting a user's shoulders, elbows, forearms, knees and feet. Armored shoes protect a user's feet and may have spiked soles to prevent a user from slipping. A portable boxing ring like arena may be selectively positioned in height to allow users to be forced over it and it may be utilized inside of or without a boxing ring.
