Reflex enhancing punching and kicking apparatus

Abstract

A martial arts practice apparatus is described which is comprised of a punching and kicking pad secured by spring loaded connectors to a board to which is also attached a timing light that blinks intermittently at irregular intervals. The board is rigidly connected to a wall. The user of the apparatus practices punching and or kicking the pad each time and as soon as the timing light blinks on. Such practice improves the user's martial arts punching and kicking reflexes. The punching and kicking pad may also be used without the timing light being turned on.
