ABSTRACT:
A punching device comprised of a first component device and a second component device that closely simulates actual boxing by challenging a user with the combined tasks of striking at least one pad device while avoiding or preventing being struck by a rotating striking device. The first component device has an upstanding support that is mountable on a floor or to a wall with at least one pad device attached to the upstanding support. There may be six pad devices with three pad devices attached to the upstanding support in a generally horizontal row to form a top group and three pad devices attached in a generally horizontal row at a distance below the top group to form a bottom group. Each pad device has a spring extending from a back of a pad portion to the upstanding support. When struck by a punch, the pad devices compress and then spring back. The second component device is comprised of a motorized arm with a striking device such as a boxing glove attached to an end of the motorized arm. The motorized arm is attached to a motor pipe device that rotates the motorized arm at any desired speed of rotation including a random setting. The arm is capable of swinging 360 degrees into and out of proximity with the top and bottom groups of pads of the first component device. Ideally, a user of the punching device will seek to avoid being struck by the striking device as it rotates while the user is punching the at least one pad device.
