[0001] 1. Field of Invention
[0002] This invention relates to a human being size device that a variety of wrestling moves can be practiced on.
[0003] 2. Description of Prior Art
[0004] A search in the Cleveland and Akron patent libraries in 1999 revealed no category for wrestling devices. Only an arm wrestling category was shown in the designated category. Prior to 1999 I had never seen a device that could be wrestled. Subsequent to 1999 I have never seen a device or any art work that could be wrestled other than the one that I have invented in 1999.
[0005] In accordance with the present invention a rigid structure resembling a human being on all fours that offers resistance as user applies pressure movements.
[0006] From the description above, a number of advantages of the wrestling moves training device become evident:
[0007] (a) affords the wrestler with no training partner the opportunity to wrestle.
[0008] (b) affords the wrestler the convenience of training in the privacy of a home.
[0009] (c) affords the wrestlers the opportunity to practice hundreds of moves without partner fatigue.
[0010] (d) affords the wrestler a method to lose weight without running.
[0011] (e) affords the wrestler the opportunity to build enduring strength at angles necessary to perform wrestling moves competitively.
[0012] (f) affords the wrestler the opportunity to rehabilitate an injured body part at their own pace without risking reinjury.
[0013] (g) affords the wrestler the opportunity to tournament train at home by wrestling for six minute intervals throughout the day.

[0044] Completion
[0045] This entire assembly is wrapped with a padding material
[0046] Additional Embodiments
[0047] These are not shown in any FIG. The addition to the calf area, of a foot could be added in another variation of the device. This also would be done in cylinders bolt, nut and endcap assembly procedure. This would allow other wrestling moves to be performed. A hand also could be added to the device. Repositioning the head so that it would exit the front area of the torso can be done. In this method if you laid the device on its back on the ground it would lie flat with no arch or wrestling bridge. In contrast, the preferred embodiment has a built in bridge or arch when it is laid on its back. The torso area can also be made out of a 8 inch pvc cylinder. The hips also can be made from 6 inch pvc cylinders. Mending plates would still be used to strengthen the structure. This would do away with the 2×4 wood and plywood.
[0048] Operation
[0049] The manner of using the wrestling moves training device is similar to the methods learned in the sport. A wrestler could turn it over and try to pin it. A wrestler could place the device over their shoulders and stand up with it. They could practice fireman carries. This means the wrestler has the option of not being attached to a padded mat. A wrestler has the option of using a padded board with holes. The chains or ropes
[0050] Conclusion, Ramifications, and Scope
[0051] Accordingly, the reader will see that the wrestling moves training device can be used by the athlete to train with in the sport of wrestling. Those skilled in the sport will see the device and the resemblance to an opponent that they would wrestle. They would recognize similar body parts and know how to apply wrestling moves. Although the description above contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the device but as merely providing illustrations of some of the presently preferred embodiments of this invention. For example, the torso could be made from a machined mold to more closely resemble a chest, shoulder and stomach. The head and kneck area also could more accurately look like a human. In fact the entire invention could have bulges and shapes more likely to resemble muscles. The device could be of a variety of sizes to accommodate different size athletes. The device could be made heavier through the use of gravel bags added to the cavities in the thighs, head and torso. Extension springs can be made so that they are more difficult to bend. Extension springs can be shorter or longer or of a smaller or larger diameter. Other embodiments may only require one extension where
