Takedown Defender Product Specifications
The Defender was designed to do what a human practice partner cannot. Wrestling has never had a training tool that will help wrestlers achieve so much in such a short period of time. Small gains in reaction time and an improved sprawl can completely shut an opponent down. Simply put, if a wrestler is effective defending against leg attacks, more matches will be won.
New Redesigned Body Balloons
We spent two years researching and developing the most durable and safest material for the Defender Balloon. The new Balloon material is absolutely incredible. It can support weights up to 2000 pounds. It is long-lasting, durable and safe to workout on.
Our new Balloon has been sized to accommodate wrestlers that weigh 100-220 pounds. We also have a new small size for wrestlers that weigh less than 100 pounds. There are many younger wrestlers around the country that can benefit tremendously from working on the Takedown Defender.
The balloon is attached to the Push Cart and held in place with 100 square inches of industrial strength velcro. The Body Balloon stays on the Push Cart while in use and will not move unless it is physically removed from the cart.
Safe and Extremely Durable
The Takedown Defender is made to last. It is safe to work out on and extremely durable. The high impact areas are protected with extra strong seams. This makes the Body Balloon more durable and longer lasting. The balloon is filled with air so it is safe to sprawl on and practice defensive takedown skills. The balloon will also support up to 550 pounds of direct weight.
Inflating the Body Balloon
The Body Balloon can be easily inflated with a shop vacuum in less than 60 seconds.
The Push Cart
The Push Cart is designed to last for many years. The wheels on the Cart will not damage standard Resilite Mats or wrestling mats made from comparable material. The Defender can also be used on carpet. The Cart weighs less than seven pounds and it is covered with a protective rubber safety barrier.
Very Little Assembly Required
There is very little to assemble. A team can be training on the Defender within minutes of opening the shipping box.
