A striking bag apparatus which is easy to manufacture, assemble, transport or move, and adjust in height, and which is effectively self-supported such that no sparring partner is needed. The striking bag apparatus is composed of a hollow base, hollow cylindrical column, and striking pad. The striking pad is preferably a foam sleeve covered by a smooth striking surface installed around the upper portion of the cylindrical column which is held in a substantially vertical position by the base. Both the column and base may be filled with water, sand, metal shot, or other suitable weighting substance to provide for increased stability and support, via easily accessible fill apertures in the column and base. The height of the striking surface may be easily adjusted, without disassembly, by rotating the column within the base, in a simple &ldquo;corkscrew&rdquo; fashion. The base is provided with wheels to aid in moving the apparatus.

Adjustable striking bag training apparatus

Combination one-piece hand/forearm paddings and shin/foot paddings are disclosed, preferably, for use during martial arts events. The one-piece construction provides for a greater area of protection, and prevents the forearm and shin portions of the paddings from sliding up or down the wearer's arms and legs, respectively.

Martial arts protective gear

A Boxing glove having an inner mitt into which a boxer's hand is placed. The inner mitt utilizes a two layer palm lining which forms the front of the mitt and opposes a waterproof Taffeta pad lining which forms the back of the mitt. The inner mitt is attached to a padded outside covering and cuff so that the palm lining is exposed to the outside. The inner mitt is arranged so that in use as the boxer's hand perspires the first layer of the palm lining wicks away the sweat and the second layer allows it to dry and escape to the outside. Additionally, the waterproof Taffeta lining does not allow sweat to be absorbed by the boxing glove so that it maintains it's intended weight. The inner mitt incorporates grip bars and reinforced sections.
