Head target for martial arts practice

Abstract

A head target may feature realistic eye targets and a rearward handle for use in martial arts practices. The handle may be constructed in a manner to also allow the use of a wall mount with a plurality of support spurs to support the head target in a realistic posture in a manner to withstand multiple blows from the training individual. A mounting plate, upon which the wall mount is positioned, aids in a secure mounting to a wall.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A practice head target for striking practice comprising:
 a target body shaped in general conformance with a human head and having an outer surface;   a plurality of internal squeaking targets contained within the target body in a manner to approximate eyes of the head target;   a handle opposite the squeaking targets and recessed within the outer surface of the target body for manual manipulation of the head target during practice sessions; and   two opposed recesses defined within the target body, proximate the handle.   
     
     
         2 . The practice head target of  claim 1 , further comprising a wall mount structure configured to interface with the handle of the head target and support the same. 
     
     
         3 . The practice head target of  claim 2 , the wall mount structure further comprising:
 a wall mount body with at least two spurs positioned to interface about the handle of the head target in the opposed recesses;   a wall mount plate located on a side of the wall mount body opposite the plurality of spurs; and   at least one spring positioned between the wall mount body and the wall mount plate.   
     
     
         4 . The practice head target of  claim 3 , the target body further comprising a third recess beneath the handle and the wall mount structure further comprising a third spur to interface therewith. 
     
     
         5 . The practice head target of  claim 1 , further comprising eyewear grooves located proximate structures of the head target which approximate ears. 
     
     
         6 . The practice head target of  claim 5 , further comprising a wall mount structure configured to interface with the handle of the head target and support the same. 
     
     
         7 . The practice head target of  claim 6 , the wall mount structure further comprising:
 a wall mount body with at least two spurs positioned to interface about the handle of the head target in the opposed recesses;   a wall mount plate located on a side of the wall mount body opposite the plurality of spurs; and   at least one spring positioned between the wall mount body and the wall mount plate.   
     
     
         8 . The practice head target of  claim 7 , the target body further comprising a third recess beneath the handle and the wall mount structure further comprising a third spur to interface therewith. 
     
     
         9 . A practice head target for striking practice comprising:
 a target body shaped in general conformance with a human head and having an exterior surface which presents a human face analogue;   a horizontal handle recessed within the exterior surface and opposite the human face analogue for manual manipulation of the head target during practice sessions.   
     
     
         10 . The practice head target of  claim 9 , further comprising a wall mount structure configured to interface with the handle of the head target and support the same. 
     
     
         11 . The practice head target of  claim 10 , the wall mount structure further comprising:
 a wall mount body with a plurality of spurs positioned to interface about the handle of the head target;   a wall mount plate located on a side of the wall mount body opposite the plurality of spurs; and   at least one spring positioned between the wall mount body and the wall mount plate.   
     
     
         12 . The practice head target of  claim 11 , the target body having at least two recesses proximate the handle, having at least one above the handle and at least one below the handle, and the wall mount structure spurs interface therewith. 
     
     
         13 . The practice head target of  claim 12 , the target body further comprising a distal recess beneath the handle and the wall mount body further comprising a distal spur to interface therewith. 
     
     
         14 . The practice head target of  claim 9 , further comprising eyewear grooves located proximate structures of the head target which approximate ears. 
     
     
         15 . The practice head target of  claim 14 , further comprising a wall mount structure configured to interface with the handle of the head target and support the same. 
     
     
         16 . The practice head target of  claim 15 , the wall mount structure further comprising:
 a wall mount body with a plurality of spurs positioned to interface about the handle of the head target;   a wall mount plate located on a side of the wall mount body opposite the plurality of spurs; and   at least one spring positioned between the wall mount body and the wall mount plate.   
     
     
         17 . The practice head target of  claim 16 , the target body having at least two recesses proximate the handle and the wall mount spurs interface therewith. 
     
     
         18 . The practice head target of  claim 17 , the target body further comprising a distal recess beneath the handle and the wall mount body further comprising a distal spur to interface therewith.
