Abstract
Karate practice apparatus includes a target pad mounted on a horizontally extending arm, the arm being adjustably mounted on a vertical shaft which is anchored at its lower end in a base housing, and a resistance system in the base housing yieldingly resists rotation of the shaft when the target is truck from either side either by kicking or punching so as to return the target pad to its neutral position. The target pad is composed of a high density foam material which is molded around the support arm and is readily interchangeable so as to conform to the level of skill of the athlete.
