Abstract: A sonic paddle is a hand held device used for Martial arts striking practice. The sonic paddle is formed of layers of dense foam, rigid plastic, and plastic film resonating sheets. A cushioning layer is positioned on an outer surface of each of the resonating layers. The rigid center, supporting layers, resonating layers, and cushioning layers can be coupled to one another in sandwiched relationship. The part that the person strikes is the cushioning layers on either side of the paddle which are smaller in circumference than the resonating sheets leaving the resonating sheets protruding in order to resonate upon impact and thereby creating a loud sound when hit.
