The BULGARIAN BAG was created with one purpose in mind: RESULTS! Based on his own experiences as an elite athlete and then a Gold-Level Coach in the United States Olympic Training Centers, Coach Ivanov realized that the metal weight equipment typically used in traditional training centers was neither practical nor functional enough as a complete training tool to build the type of core rotational strength required for wrestling and other combat sports, and this led to Coach’s first great training innovation!
Designed to be safely used in any wrestling and/or combat sports training room with the ability to simultaneously train an entire team with up to 30 wrestlers or more, the truly functional core training functions of the BULGARIAN BAG make it an absolute MUST!
JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE STRONG IN A WEIGHT ROOM DOESN’T MEAN YOU CAN HANDLE THIS!
After inventing the signature BULGARIAN BAG in 2005, nine years later, world-class athlete and coach, Ivan Ivanov, discovered another revolutionary training idea: The SUPLES BALL. As Coach Ivanov says, “The SUPLES BALL is just another evolution of the highly effective training system that brought you the original BULGARIAN BAG.”
The core training exercises used with the SUPLES BALL are almost identical to the signature exercises designed by Coach Ivanov for the BULGARIAN BAG, which makes the learning process for the SUPLES BALL to be a much faster adaptation for those who are already familiar with the BULGARIAN BAG routines. Additionally, the SUPLES BALL is specially designed to perform longer range muscle-endurance exercises without exhausting your grip, which allows you to elevate your training to the highest levels!
Coach Ivan Ivanov built the High Intensity Rope Training System during his experience working as the head wrestling coach at the United States Olympic Training Center in Marquette, Michigan from 2002-2009.
While developing his elite Olympic athletes, Coach Ivanov used this system for training applications such as muscular endurance, strength, conditioning, speed, power, muscle activation, flexibility, and also as a method of recovery. Coach Ivanov often used the H.I.R.T.S. Single-Bands for dynamic exercises that are so important for mastering techniques in wrestling or other combat sports.
After seeing the success of the single H.I.R.T.S. model, Coach Ivanov continued to make new innovations and now, is proud to offer eight individual H.I.R.T.S. training Packs! Each pack is specifically designed to meet your individual training needs– whatever they may be!
Suples Dummies were the very first in our product line of world-class training devices created in 2004 by world-class athlete and coach, Ivan Ivanov. The Suples Dummies were originally designed to take wrestling performance to a new level of excellence then later adapted to be used effectively in other sports like: Judo, MMA, Grappling, and yes- even American football!
Training with Suples Dummies is NOT like training with any ordinary dummy-- Suples Dummies were expertly designed by Coach Ivanov through his own years of training and studying of athletes to ensure precision and functionality. The expert design of our Suples Dummies was NOT created just to practice basic techniques or to sit passively in the corner of your practice room like all other dummies, but to actually IMPROVE & ADVANCE your skills by giving a realistic feel & response while training, which makes this entire Suples product-line of sure to be used in your daily practice and training routines to provide the best outcomes!
The SUPLES ATTACKER is the most innovatively designed training dummy available. Suples offers three different models of Attacker (Attacker 1, 2, 3). Each model provides athletes with the tools to practice, perfect, and sharpen their techniques, set-ups, back steps, throws, leg attacks, etc.
Remember, the ATTACKER is YOU, not the DUMMY!
“Every time I open a gym, the equipment I always install first, is the GLADIATOR WALL. This is the ‘backbone’ of the complete Suples Gym!”
The Suples Wall is designed to be used for a wide variety of functional training options such as: Flexibility (Suples Supple); Isometrics (Suples ISO); and Strength & Conditioning (Suples SC).
The patented design of the Suples Wall allows it to be installed very closely to the building wall, which saves space and fits in perfectly with the innovative equipment featured in the rest of the Suples Training Systems.
The vast assortment of available GLADIATOR WALL accessories will allow you to create a total gym system which can be geared for training the most intense, world–class athletes, while also still safe enough for introducing school-aged students to strength development exercises.
With the addition of its available accessories, the workouts on the GLADIATOR WALL can be easily designed and modified to suit every type of training need, whether it be for sport-specific training for any sport or just overall general fitness!
The Suples Path of Glory training system is designed for group or personal workouts for WORLD CLASS ATHLETES training for performance all the way down to FITNESS ENTHUSIASTS, YOUTH ATHLETES, and CHILDREN.
The warmups on the Suples Path of Glory *Foam can be beneficial not only to combat sports but also to other sports, including physical education classes, and overall physical development for children. The Suples Ball is the ideal training tool to be paired with the Suples Path of Glory *Foam for an even more useful training system.
Along with this, the Path's soft foam padded mat elements offer a safe foundation for a variety of different tumbling and acrobatic exercises.
The Suples Path of Glory *Foam is also created to be used for the following:
The main purpose of the SUPLES ARENA is to improve wrestling performance in all three styles, but can also be of great benefit to other combat sports, such as Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Sambo, etc. Because of the limited amount of space within the ARENA, athletes are encouraged to perform more OFFENSIVE THROWS and ACTIONS.
The SUPLES ARENA also provides a safer environment for such actions due to its 8-inch thick foam perimeter.
It is available in two different sizes. The S Suples Arena, which is 13ft/4m by 13ft/4m with a diameter of 6.5ft/2m, and the L Suples Arena, which is 19.5ft/6m by 19.5ft/6m with a diameter of 13ft/4m. Both sizes of the SUPLES ARENA are anti-slip and made of durable, high-quality foam and vinyl that will withstand being put to use every day.
Coach Ivan's goal is to turn wrestling rooms into PERFORMANCE CENTERS.
For this reason, he has divided the wrestling room space into 2 zones. SUPLES COMBAT ZONE and SUPLES STEEL ZONE.
The Suples Frame, Barbells, Bumper Plates, and other steel equipment, are designed to provide athletes and coaches with more training opportunities within one gym.
Many of the Suples Steel Equipment can be trained with ON AND OFF the mat. With high-quality rubberized plates and barbells, the following exercises can be performed: Hang Cleans, Power Cleans, Front Squats, Back Squats, and Deadlifts. Along with that, there is the benefit of being able to roll the loaded barbells on the mat for a variety of exercises offering further supplemental core training.
