Abstract: A physical training apparatus for use in striking training, the apparatus comprising: a frame having a perimeter member extending substantially along a perimeter member plane and a support assembly for supporting the perimeter member above a ground surface such that the perimeter member plane is substantially horizontal, the perimeter member surrounding a central space for receiving an instructor; and a plurality of striking targets suspended from the perimeter member, the striking targets being positioned around the central space to allow a user positioned radially outwardly from the frame, adjacent one of the striking targets and facing inwardly towards the central space, to interact with the striking target while maintaining visual contact with the instructor when the instructor is positioned in the central space.
