摘要

This invention discloses means to increase striking power by applying the principal of progressive selectable resistance to a boxing and martial arts strike training device that allows users to select and pre-determine resistance as appropriate for striking with various body weapons such as arms, hands and feet. More particularly, this invention discloses means having a pivotal mast element, having a striking pad affixed thereto, a fixed tension anchoring assembly, and means to incrementally increase or decrease resistance by use of either compression or expansion resistance means such as springs, bands and the like. Selective positioning of said springs, bands and the like, along the plane defined by said pivotal mast and tension anchoring assembly, enables the user to pre-select resistance at the striking surface. This new and novel adjustable strike training device has a quick rebound into the start position for combination training and enables each user to customize force needed to duplicate the feel of striking opponents of various sizes and weight classes.
