ABSTRACT:
In the field of electronically controlled and monitored sports training, competition and amusement centers, particularly adapted for use with the oriental martial arts, but also suitable for rehabilitation training and progress measurement in connection with physical therapy applications, a multi-sided para-peripheral center in which a contestant may stand and move about, constructed as an octagonal cylinder, each of whose eight sides is a panel containing four elastically inflatable balls, suspended by elastic cords, each capable of absorbing a full impact strike without injury to the deliverer, and arrayed vertically at the typical height of head, chest, pelvis and knee of a simulated opponent, together with programmable timing and selection circuits which randomly activate a quartet of light-emitting diodes circumscribed about each of the thirty-two target balls, whose illumination designates the currently selected target, and sensor means for recording strikes if the designated target receives a blow before the designating lights are deactivated, plus an automatic cumulative proficiency scoring system for displaying to the trainee an objective record of his reaction times and overall attained physical agility at the completion of each exercise session.
