The Martialarm is a Martial Arts training
device used to develop the entry and trapping skills of any student. Its
use in bridging the gap from boxing range into the appropriate trapping
position will increase safety when entering into your opponents space.
By using the Martialarm to practice in the
control of an opponent's arms will allow new, unique methods of entry to
be developed in attacks. It teaches control over the opponent's attack
and defence capabilities as it provides constant resistance to the center.
The Martialarm is designed to correctly implement
trapping techniques as it moves and reacts like a real opponent. The Martialarm
moves up, down, left, right and all variations in between, as a real arm
would. Any pressure placed on the arm will be distributed over the shoulder
and elbow joints for complete realism. It also twists for basic locks and
other set-ups.
Other similar devices are not readily usable
by the new student, as they are not a simple representation of an opponent
in an attacking or defensive position. The Martialarm teaches you to create
new techniques because of constant forward force, so it can strike back.
Its benefits are obvious to any strike-based Martial Arts system.
