Abstract: An arrangement for supporting from a wall or column a martial arts dummy. The dummy has a vertically-extending, cylindrical body member that carries outwardly-extending arms and a leg to generally simulate a person for martial arts training and practice. A mounting bar that can be secured to a wall or column supports a pair of parallel, horizontal rods that carry a horizontal slat that passes laterally through the vertically-extending body of the dummy to allow side-to-side movement of the dummy along the slat. The outer ends of the rods include a stop member. Respective first and second springs are positioned between the slat and the mounting bar and between the slat and the stop members to allow forward and backward movement of the dummy in response to blows applied by the user.
