An Invention for martial arts and boxing training but it can be used for many other sports as well. It addresses the problem of how to train using a multiple of suspended targets (6), without these targets getting entangled with each other, and without cumbersome devices to keep the suspension points or arms apart. Here in this portable device all this has been avoided by running suspending elastic through a light flexible, thick walled, narrow bored tube (5). The tube is in separate pieces. The tube allows the elastic to retain all its characteristics. There is a different arrangement at the top end of the cord than at the bottom to enable disentanglement to occur. The targets can move continually around each other or around a suspended punch bag. Dynamic chaotic movement occurs on all planes without obstructive entanglement occurring.

An apparatus for training or exercise comprising:
The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a punch object having a top and bottom and wherein the suspension means are adapted for connection to, or above, the top of the punch object.
The apparatus of claim 2 further comprising anchor means to effect the connection.
The apparatus of claim 3 in which the anchor means is selected from a group consisting of loop means, hook means, and a collar.
The apparatus of claim 3 in which the target members are remote from the anchor means.
The apparatus of claim 3 in which the anchor means are adapted to be detachably anchored to the suspension means.
The apparatus of claim 3 in which the suspension means comprise a cord and the inhibiting means comprise a sleeve on a core of comprising the cord, wherein the cord extends through the sleeve and is configured to attach to the anchor means.
The apparatus of claim 7 in which the sleeve is selected from a group consisting of a tube and pipe-wrap.
The apparatus of claim 7 in which the sleeve has a longitudinal split.
The apparatus of claim 7 in which the sleeve is configured with fastening means.
The apparatus of claim 7 in which the cord is overlapped at the anchor means such that the overlap extends into the sleeve.
The apparatus of claim 7 in which the cord comprises a thicker section at the anchor means such that the thicker section extends into the sleeve.
The apparatus of claim 1 in which the suspension means comprise a plurality of flexible arms.
The apparatus of claim 13 in which each arm independently of any other flexible arm is adapted to be anchored to, so as to be detachable from the suspension means.
The apparatus of claim 13 in which a target member is mounted to a flexible arm.
The apparatus of claim 13 in which an arm comprises an elastic cord.
The apparatus of claim 1 6 in which the target member is suspended on the elastic cord.
The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the inhibiting means comprises a sleeve and wherein each flexible arm in the plurality of flexible arms comprises a core member running through one or more sleeves wherein the core member is selected from a group consisting of an elastic cord and a chain.
An apparatus for training or exercise comprising:
