Multi position freestanding training bag

Abstract

A training bag comprising a bag removably attached to a base, where the bag may be a foam cylinder with a cover and the base may be pre-filled with sand. The bag may attach to the base via hook and loop material. The training bag may be used for all standing strikes, high and low, as well as for ground work, and requires no assembly and no installation.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A training bag comprising:
 a bag, were the bag has an elongated shape with a first end and a second end; and   a base with a top and a bottom, where the bag removably attaches to the top of the base at the second end of the bag.   
     
     
         2 . The training bag of  claim 1  where the bag comprises a foam cylinder. 
     
     
         3 . The training bag of  claim 1  where the bag comprises a vinyl cover. 
     
     
         4 . The training bag of  claim 1  where the base is cylindrical and has a larger diameter than the bag and a shorter height than the bag. 
     
     
         5 . The training bag of  claim 1  where the base is pre-filled with sand. 
     
     
         6 . The training bag of  claim 5  where the amount of said in the base is adjustable. 
     
     
         7 . The training bag of  claim 5  where the bottom of the base is capable of deforming during use due to the sand in the base. 
     
     
         8 . The training bag of  claim 1  where the bottom of the base is flat. 
     
     
         9 . The training bag of  claim 1  where the base has a strap attached to a side of the base, where the strap has two ends and is attached to the base at both ends, forming a loop. 
     
     
         10 . The training bag of  claim 1  where the base has a strap attached to a side of the base, where the strap has a first end, a second end, and a middle and is attached to the base at both ends and at the middle, forming a first loop between the first end and the middle and a second loop between the second end and the middle. 
     
     
         11 . The training bag of  claim 10  where the middle of the strap is attached to the base at a higher level than the first end or the second end, such that the first loop angles downward from the middle to the first end and the second loop angles downward from the middle to the second end. 
     
     
         12 . The training bag of  claim 1  where the bag attaches to the base via grommets and lacing. 
     
     
         13 . The training bag of  claim 1  where the bag attaches to the base via hook and loop material. 
     
     
         14 . The training bag of  claim 13  further comprising a ring of hook material extending upward from the base such that the bag fits within the ring, where the ring has hooks projecting radially outwardly therefrom. 
     
     
         15 . The training bag of  claim 14  further comprising a ring of loop material extending downwardly from the bag near the second end of the bag such that the ring of loop material covers the ring of hook material of the base when the bag is in place within the ring of hook material of the base, where the ring of loop material has loops projecting radially inwardly therefrom such that the loops of the ring of loop material of the bag may engage with the hooks of the ring of hook material of the base to removably attach the bag to the base. 
     
     
         16 . The training bag of  claim 15  where the bag comprises a cover and where the ring of loop material is attached to the cover. 
     
     
         17 . The training bag of  claim 15  where the ring of loop material of the bag has hooks projecting radially outwardly therefrom, the training bag further comprising a plurality of tabs of loop material extending upward from the base adjacent the ring of hook material, where the tabs have loops projecting radially inwardly therefrom, such that the loops of the tabs may engage the hooks of the ring of loop material of the bag when the ring of loop material of the bag is in place engaged with the ring of hook material of the base. 
     
     
         18 . The training bag of  claim 17  further comprising a flap extending downwardly from the bag adjacent the ring of loop material of the bag such that the flap covers the plurality of tabs of the base, the ring of hoop material of the bag, and the ring of hook material of the base when the bag is in place removably attached to the base. 
     
     
         19 . A training bag comprising:
 a bag with a first end and a second end, where the bag comprises a foam cylinder and a cover;   a base with a top and a bottom, where the bag removably attaches to the top of the base at the second end of the bag and where the base is pre-filled with sand;   a ring of hook material extending upward from the base such that the bag fits within the ring, where the ring has hooks projecting radially outwardly therefrom;   a ring of hook and loop material extending downwardly from the bag near the second end of the bag such that the ring of hook and loop material covers the ring of hook material of the base when the bag is in place within the ring of hook material of the base, where the ring of hook and loop material has hooks projecting radially outwardly therefrom and loops projecting radially inwardly therefrom such that the loops of the ring of hook and loop material of the bag may engage with the hooks of the ring of hook material of the base to removably attach the bag to the base;   a plurality of tabs of loop material extending upward from the base adjacent the ring of hook material, where the taps have loops projecting radially inwardly therefrom, such that the loops of the tabs may engage the hooks of the ring of hook and loop material of the bag when the ring of hook and loop material of the bag is in place engaged with the ring of hook material of the base; and   a flap extending downwardly from the bag adjacent the ring of hook and loop material of the bag such that the flap covers the plurality of tabs of the base, the ring of hook and hoop material of the bag, and the ring of hook material of the base when the bag is in place removably attached to the base.
