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. At least on elongated stanchion is operatively disposed in a substantially vertical, upright position and 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.

1 . An assembly structured to facilitate the practice of martial art techniques, said assembly comprising: 
 at least one elongated stanchion and a supporting base connected thereto,    said base disposed and structured to facilitate a freestanding, substantially upright orientation of said one stanchion on a supporting surface,    a plurality of support assemblies each comprising an elongated support arm connected to and extending outwardly from said stanchion and adjustably positionable along the length thereof,    a plurality of mounting structures each fixedly connected to an outer end of a corresponding one of said support arms of said plurality of support assemblies,    at least one of said support arms structured to support more than one of said plurality mounting structures,    each of said plurality of mounting structures dimensioned and configured to removably support a striking target on said stanchion in a fixed position, and    said support arms of said plurality of support assemblies and corresponding ones of said mounting structures cooperatively structured to position a plurality of striking targets in different, fixed, exposed, accessible locations and at predetermined orientations to facilitate selective striking thereof.    
   
   
       2 . An assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein at least said one support arm is structured to support at least three mounting structures thereon.  
   
   
       3 . An assembly as recited in  claim 2  wherein said three mounting structures extend outwardly from a distal end of said at least one support arm at different angular orientations relative to said at least one support arm and in fixed, parallel, spaced relation to one another.  
   
   
       4 . An assembly as recited in  claim 3  further comprising a fourth mounting structure connected in depending relation to at least one of said three mounting structures.  
   
   
       5 . An assembly as recited in  claim 3  wherein said at least one support arm comprises a distal end with a substantially branched configuration defined by a plurality of arm segments, each of said arm segments connected to a different one of said three mounting structures.  
   
   
       6 . An assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein at least one of said plurality of support assemblies comprises a plurality of elongated support arms having a substantially common proximal end adjustably connected to said stanchion, each of said plurality of support arms having a distal end fixedly connected to a different one of said plurality of mounting structures.  
   
   
       7 . An assembly as recited in  claim 6  wherein at least some of said plurality of support arms include a collar disposed in surrounding relation to said stanchion, said collar adjustably connected to said stanchion and selectively positionable along the length thereof at different heights relative to the supporting surface.  
   
   
       8 . As assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein said base is structured to support at least two stanchions in a substantially upright orientation.  
   
   
       9 . As assembly as recited in  claim 8  wherein at least one of said two stanchions is removably connected to said base.  
   
   
       10 . An assembly as recited in  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of auxiliary connectors secured to said stanchion and at least one of said support assemblies.  
   
   
       11 . An assembly structured to facilitate the practice of martial art techniques, said assembly comprising: 
 at least two elongated stanchions and a supporting base connected thereto,    said base disposed and structured to facilitate a freestanding, substantially upright orientation of each of said stanchions on a supporting surface,    at least one support assembly connected to one of said stanchions and including a mounting structure secured thereto,    said one support assembly and said corresponding mounting structure cooperatively structured to movably dispose a striking target in an exposed, accessible location and in a depending orientation relative to said mounting structure and said one support assembly to facilitate selective striking thereof,    said at least one support assembly comprising an elongated arm extending transversely outward from said one stanchion, said mounting structure associated with said at least one support assembly comprising a deflecting structure disposed in overlying relation to said a corresponding striking target and in periodically confronting relation thereto,    a second one of said two stanchions comprising a plurality of other support assemblies each including at least one elongated support arm extending outwardly from said second one of said two stanchions,    a plurality of rigid mounting structures each fixedly connected to an outer end of a different one of said support arms of said plurality of other support assemblies    said plurality of support arms and corresponding ones of said rigid mounting structures cooperatively structured to fixedly position a plurality of striking targets in different, exposed, accessible relation and at different orientations to facilitate selective striking thereof.    
   
   
       12 .- 15 . (canceled)  
   
   
       16 . An assembly as recited in  claim 11  wherein at least one of said two stanchions are removably connected to said base.  
   
   
       17 . An assembly as recited in  claim 11  wherein said two stanchions are relatively disposed on said base to facilitate concurrent use thereof by different users.  
   
   
       18 . (canceled)
