A body held sparring device configured for either striking or being hit with the addition of a secondary target. The secondary target is offset from the sparring tool and designed to yield when struck, rather than transmit dangerous torque to the body part holding the sparring tool. Additionally, the sparring tool can further incorporate additional sparring tools, additional secondary targets and or additional control body points.
A body held sparring device comprising: a U-shaped structure, at least a first sparring tool, and at least a first target wherein the first sparring tool is configured to be controlled independently of the U-shaped structure and to simulate punches being thrown by an opponent such as jabs and crosses. Wherein the first target is configured to yield when struck to reduce the amount of torque received by the body part through the structure.
