A martial arts practice device that includes a standard and a means for supporting the standard in a substantially vertical position. The invention provides a system of inter-fastened pads to mount a striking pad to the standard. The standard has a front side and two lateral sides. An elongated pad is positioned on the standard so that its two longitudinally oriented cushions cover the two lateral sides of the standard. The two longitudinally oriented cushions define an opening through which the front side of the standard is accessible. Several protective pads are mounted to the longitudinally oriented cushions to cover the opening and fix the elongated pad to the standard. At least one striking-pad plate is mounted on the standard and each such plate is used to mount a striking pad to the standard. The striking-pad plate has a fitting for receiving a flexible member. Each striking pad has a central bore with a fabric collar around the top of the central bore.

A martial arts practice device essentially comprises an I-beam having a plurality of striking pads selectively positionable along its vertical height. The pads are cylindrically shaped and are attached to the I-beam by resilient springs so that they can flexibly move when struck by a user. A plurality of the devices may be interconnected so as to encircle a user to thus give the user the opportunity to strike in many different directions while improving his martial arts skills. Velcro attached padding may be positioned around the I-beam to prevent user injury, and various types of abrasive surface covers may be positioned over the pads to toughen a user's hands and feet.
