Abstract
A striking device for use by a trainee in karate, boxing, etc., to simulate an opponent. Target elements are suspended by a cord from a fixed overhead position and pivoted rod-mounted response elements are balanced between the target elements. When the trainee strikes the target elements, the response elements move in an unpredictable manner to strike back at the trainee.
