Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a martial arts practice device which includes a housing member adapted to be mounted onto a support and having at least one receiving portion, a striking member adapted to be mounted onto the housing member and a joint member positioned between the housing member and the striking member and having a first joining member captured in the receiving portion on the housing member and a second joining member mounted to the striking member. The second joining member of the joint member is deflectable relative to the first joining member of the joint member in all directions to provide the necessary tension both as for resistance of striking forces as well as for the return of the striking member to its original position after it is struck.
