ABSTRACT:
A freestanding training bag includes a pedestal having a lower surface on which the pedestal rests during normal use and an upper surface spaced above the lower surface. The pedestal defines a substantially vertical axis extending through a general central region of the pedestal and has a recess in the upper surface substantially symmetrically aligned with the vertical axis and extends from the upper surface at least partially towards the lower surface. A generally vertical post has a resilient portion in the region of the lower end of the vertical post extending into the recess and supported on the pedestal at a point below the upper surface. The post is normally substantially vertically aligned with the vertical axis prior to being struck by the user. A striking pad surrounds the post for being struck by the user. The recess serves as a limit stop to prevent excessive deflection of the post from the vertical deflection before the post bounces back after being struck by the user. In this way, the striking pad by the user causes the post to deflect a predetermined angle about the resilient portion without bending or deflecting the upper surface of the pedestal.
