ABSTRACT:
A training bag for boxing and the like includes two separate anatomical sections, namely a section representing the head and a section representing the body, supported on an elongated rod and mounted so that their positions can be relatively adjusted as desired. Each of the anatomical sections has a configuration including four vertical side surfaces and corresponding oblique surfaces which slant inwardly in the downward direction. Each of the head and body sections is formed of an inner rigid shell over which a layer of rubber covered by leather or canvas is provided. The physical characteristics of the bag can be varied by repositioning the head and body sections and by adding and deleting weights with a view toward the physical characteristics of the particular opponent of the boxer using the bag. Blows can be directed to both the front and lateral side surfaces of the bag to improve a fighter's timing and accuracy and, moreover, uppercuts and upwardly-directed hooks can be directed to the front and side oblique surfaces of both the head and body sections without the risk of injury to the fighter's hands. The body section has an enlarged lower portion which serves to enhance the fighter's leg and foot positioning abilities with respect to his opponent's.
