ABSTRACT:
A life-like striking dummy as an attachment to a punching bag for use in boxing, martial arts, and the like, is disclosed. More specifically its purpose is to augment and improve realism of training utilizing a punching bag as a mounting device. The striking dummy is sculptured three-dimensionally and comprises a first portion configured to anatomically resemble a human head, and is connected by a neck to a second portion configured to anatomically resemble a human torso. The total embodiment is detailed with facial, muscular, and skeletal features as targets to be struck by the user. The head, neck, and torso are homogeneously connected by construction preferably utilizing an integral skin flexible polyurethane foam material. The integral skin of the polyurethane is a near solid resilient protective outer layer which serves to prevent injury or damage to the striking dummy or user. The cellular foam core is homogeneously distributed throughout the entire inner structure of the embodiment and is human-like in density, providing a realistic feel of striking an opponent. The striking dummy is configured with mounting straps for the purpose of attachment to a punching bag. The striking dummy may be configured with a radiused vertically positioned recess at the back, to allow a contoured mating surface to a punching bag.
