A striking bag features a resiliently flexible foam tube, and a striking surface that is connected to an end of the flexible tube to hang therefrom in an exposed position strikeable from below. A threaded rod projects from an upper end of the flexible tube for coupling with a surface mount that is fastened to a ceiling or other suitable overhead surface. The surface mount features a rigid portion into which the threaded rod is threaded. The foam of the tube and the threaded rod solely define a resiliency by which the tube flexes and returns to a normal straight position relative to the ceiling mount. A fabric loop at a bottom of the striking surface allows selective connection of a stretchable tether between the striking surface and a ground based tether point to change a responsive character of the striking bag and enable two distinctive modes of use.

A boxing speedball includes a fixed base detachably connected to a solid object, a ball body, a rebound device arranged at the upper part of the ball body, and a connector configured to connect the rebound device to the fixed base. The fixed base and the connector are adjustable and fastened through a fastener. A frictional resistance device is further provided between the fixed base and the connector, and is configured to increase the frictional force area between the fixed base and the connector. The boxing speedball increases the frictional force area at the connection, increases the friction force itself, improves the security of the connection, and is less likely to be twisted and damaged.

A boxing bag mount includes an attachment plate for attaching the boxing bag thereto. The attachment plate includes a central post extending upwardly from a central point thereof. The central post includes an attachment formation for mounting the boxing bag mount to the structure, such as an attachment point for a chain, link or similar. The boxing bag mount additionally includes a pivot mounted to the central post in a rotatable manner. The pivot includes socket formations extending in opposing lateral directions thereof.
