In a preferred embodiment, a karate kick-board target member including an elongated sheet member at-least about five inches wide and at-least about seven inches long, sufficiently rigid to maintain linear shape against gravity when supported uprightly, laterally or horizontally, having sufficient flexibility and resiliency to be resiliently bendable and thereby resistant to breaking responsive to major force struck thereagainst, the sheet member including a first linearly-extending plastic sheet having first forward and rearward opposite faces and including a second linearly-extending plastic sheet having second forward and rearward opposite faces, spaced-apart flanges being mounted on and secured between at-least one of the first forward and rearward faces and at-least one of the second forward and rearward faces with the flanges extending substantially perpendicularly to at-least the faces on which they are mounted. The sheet member is secured to a rigid support member and a pair of suction cups include axially extending necks which engage the support member at spaced positions. The cups are shaped to engage a surface at any of a plurality of positions. The target member flexes, in response to blows to the sheet member, at the sheet member, and the necks of the suction cups.
