## Abstract

A padded punching surface incorporating elastic roping connected to a frame which allows the punching surface to be struck with a force of impact by a user so as to minimize swinging of the punching surface. The apparatus is an improvement on existing punching bags which enables easier convenient and more realistic combat training for athletes and users. The amount of swing for the punching surface can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the elastic roping. The punching surface can include an attached head shaped surface for more realism.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A punching surface, comprising:
a. a first surface;
b. at least one of front padding, edge padding, and back padding covering the first surface;
c. a mounting frame constructed to mount in a doorway;
d. two or more elastic mounting straps, each of which has two ends, a first end affixed to the first surface and a second end attached to the mounting frame, such that the first surface is suspended taut within the mounting frame;
e. wherein the mounting frame is constructed of four corners and four sides, the four corners constructed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and the four sides of the mounting frame constructed of PVC piping and metal piping, such that the metal piping is sized to slide snugly inside the PVC piping and multiple holes in the metal piping marry to a set of matching holes in the PVC piping with a lock pin connection so the mounting frame's size can be adjusted, the mounting frame's PVC corners further comprising suction cups to assist the mounting frame to remain fixed into a door frame.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The punching surface of claim 1, wherein the edge padding is configured to protect edges of the first surface.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The punching surface of claim 1, further including a head-shaped portion on a top of the first surface.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The punching surface of claim 1, further including an independently moving head surface mounted near a top of the first surface such that the first surface and the independently moving head surface can move individually when struck by a user.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The punching surface of claim 4, in which the independently moving head surface is mounted with additional mounting straps to the first surface and the mounting frame.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The punching surface of claim 1, in which the mounting frame can adjust in size to fit different doorway sizes.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The punching surface of claim 1, in which the straps comprise a user-adjustable length.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The punching surface of claim 1 in which the mounting frame is constructed of polyvinyl chloride tubing in a rectangular shape and comprises suction cups at the frame's corners to assist the frame in mounting into a door frame.
