Martial arts practice assembly

Abstract

An assembly structured to facilitate the practice of various martial art techniques by an individual such as kicks, punches and other physically delivered blows associated with various forms of the martial arts. An elongated stanchion operatively disposed in a substantially vertical upright position comprises a plurality of support assemblies extending outwardly therefrom and adjustable at various heights along the length thereof. Each or a predetermined number of the support assemblies include a mounting structure secured to an outer end thereof at a predetermined orientation. Each of the mounting structures is dimensioned, disposed and configured to have a striking target, such as a Thai pad, or like structure disposed in an exposed, accessible location to facilitate the delivery, by the individual, of different types of martial art blows.

       9 . An assembly as recited in  claim 7  wherein said mounting structure is fixedly maintained in a non-adjustable substantially angular relation to said stanchion.  
   
   
       10 . An assembly as recited in  claim 7  wherein said mounting structure is fixedly maintained in a non-adjustable substantially perpendicular relation to said stanchion.  
   
   
       11 . An assembly as recited in  claim 7  wherein said mounting structure is fixedly maintained in a non-adjustable substantially parallel relation to said stanchion.  
   
   
       12 . An assembly structured to facilitate the practice of martial art techniques, said assembly comprising: 
 an elongate stanchion and a supporting base connected thereto,    said base disposed and structured to facilitate a freestanding, substantially upright orientation of said stanchion on a supporting surface,    a plurality of support assemblies connected to and extending outwardly from said stanchion and adjustably positionable along the length thereof,    a plurality of mounting structures each fixedly connected in a non-adjustable relation to an outer end of a different one of said plurality of support assemblies,    each of said plurality of mounting structures dimensioned and configured to removably support a striking target on said stanchion,    each of said mounting structures being fixedly disposed and maintained in a substantially common orientation as a corresponding striking target, relative to said stanchion, and    said plurality of support assemblies and corresponding ones of said mounting structures cooperatively structured to position a plurality of striking targets in different, exposed, accessible locations and at fixed predetermined orientations to facilitate selective striking thereof.    
   
   
       13 . (canceled)  
   
   
       14 . An assembly as recited in  claim 12  wherein at least one of said mounting structures is fixedly disposed at an angular orientation relative to said stanchion.  
   
   
       15 . An assembly as recited in  claim 14  wherein at least one of said mounting structures is fixedly disposed in a substantially perpendicular relation to said stanchion.  
   
   
       16 . An assembly as recited in  claim 15  wherein at least one of said mounting structures is fixedly disposed in substantially parallel relation to said stanchion.  
   
   
       17 . An assembly as recited in  claim 12  wherein at least one of said mounting structures is fixedly disposed in substantially perpendicular relation to said stanchion.  
   
   
       18 . An assembly as recited in  claim 13  wherein at least one of said mounting structures is fixedly disposed in substantially parallel relation to said stanchion.  
   
   
       19 . An assembly as recited in  claim 12  wherein at least one of said plurality of support assemblies comprises a single, elongated, rigid support arm having a proximal end adjustably connected to said stanchion and a distal end integrally connected to a corresponding one of said plurality of mounting structures.  
   
   
       20 . An assembly as recited in  claim 19  wherein at least one of said plurality of support assemblies comprises a plurality of elongated, rigid support arms having a substantially common proximal end adjustably connected to said stanchion, each of said plurality of support arms having a distal end integrally connected to a different one of said plurality of mounting structures.  
   
   
       21 . An assembly as recited in  claim 20  wherein at least two of said plurality of elongated support arms have correspondingly disposed inner ends.
