ABSTRACT:
A portable self-supporting, compactible armed competition arena and associated apparatus which is readily manually dismantled after use at one site, stacked and transported, and manually assembled for use at another site. The arena comprises a floor covering comprising markings which layout a plan for the arena and upon which the arena is assembled. The markings comprise indicia which alpha-numerically or otherwise identify wall and other arena construction parts to be assembled at the marked locations. Wall parts and other arena parts identified by the floor covering markings likewise bear tags comprising identifiers which correlate with the markings such that each identified part has a predefined unique location on the floor covering and in the arena structure. Each vertical edge of each wall part which is manually assembled, is releasibly affixed to another part by a joint which is light tight. In some cases, hinges are used to connect two adjacent wall parts for easier assembly. The hinged connectors are also light tight. The arena is alternately used in-doors and out-of-doors. When totally assembled, the arena comprises a unitized structure which withstands wind and body loads. When used out-of-doors, tie-downs provide additional stability against wind load. Garb for participants includes headgear, coveralls, gloves, and boots. Headgear comprises a mask having full face, ear, temple and throat area protection for use with and without eye glasses.
