Abstract
The invention involves a striking board for use in developing one's skill in the martial arts and comprises in its basic aspects in superimposed relation, a relatively flexible cushion member for striking with one's hand, supported by a relatively inflexible member, which in turn is supported by a relatively inflexible spacing member and a further relatively inflexible member, the latter member being of such a construction that the striking board can be held by hand or supported by a bracket support on a wall or other support surface. The bracket support supports the striking board of the invention by compression springs so as to offer suitable resistance to a striking blow. The striking board can be removed from the bracket support, if desired, and hand held by a training partner. The striking board is covered with leather or leather-like plastic coated fabric so as to present a pleasing appearance to the striking board, and less abrasiveness to one's hand in use.
