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.

The present invention provides an exercise and training device. The exercise and training device is adapted to be removably mounted to a vertical structure. The exercise and training device includes a paddle member that provides target surfaces; a support member that facilitates in aligning of the exercise and training device when mounted to the vertical structure; and a mounting member that mounts the exercise and training device about the vertical structure.

A proximity training device for use in training of activities (FIGS. 2, 20 and 21), that anybody can use whether they are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced activity enthusiast (user) participating in martial arts or another partner-oriented activities. The user is able to utilize the training device safely allowing them to maintain their physical fitness activities. The user engages the training device maintaining an upright posture and initiates movement thereby activating the training device. It is held within the same proximity of an in-person training partner, allowing the user to practice the fundamental biomechanical responses and other skills required for their preferred chosen activities. The training device is lightweight and easy to store. The arms are easily removed and are adjustable for optimizing user comfort and training device functionality. The training device is easy to assemble and disassemble which allows for easy transport and storage of the training device.

In accordance with a version of the invention, a martial arts training device is provided which allows solitary training, particularly with regard to clinch training. In certain versions of the application, the martial arts training device generally comprises: a base assembly having a top; a primary spring affixed to the top of the base assembly, the primary spring having a top and a bottom; a torso body assembly; a vertical adjustment assembly adapted to vertically translate the torso body assembly between a downward position and an upward position; and at least one bidirectional spring-biased assembly for yieldably maintaining the torso body assembly in a default resting position.

A portable training device includes a first and second elongated members, a coupling device, a base, a holder device, and a member holder. An elongated slot is positioned between a distal end and a proximate end on at least one side of each of the first and second elongated members. The first elongated member and second elongated member are each received by the coupling device to form a post that extends in a system vertical direction. The member holder has an engagement portion and a member receiving portion. The engagement portion includes a resilient member and a trapezoidal portion. The resilient member and the trapezoidal portion are slidably received in the elongated slot of the first and second elongated members such that the member holder is positioned into a plurality of positions within the elongated slots of the first and second elongated members.

The football training device is a physical training apparatus. The football training device is configured for use with the sport of American football. The football training device trains an individual in the motions associated with a swim move. The football training device further trains an individual in the motions associated with a rip move. The football training device incorporates a stand and a training structure. The training structure attaches to the stand. The training structure further incorporates a plurality of cants. The plurality of cants form a series of spatial relationships between the components of the training structure. The plurality of cants emulate the position and motion of an opponent during training activities.
