Martial arts exercise apparatus

Abstract

An exercise apparatus includes a frame which includes a first pair of tracks and a second pair of tracks. A first handle is received in the first pair of tracks, and a second handle is received in the second pair of tracks. A motion-resistant assembly is connected between the first handle and the second handle. A base member is provided, and a frame-to-base pivot assembly, which lies in a vertical plane, is connected between the frame and the base member. When the frame and the base member move relative to each other around the pivot assembly, they move in a horizontal plane. The frame-connected bracket assembly can include a first bracket member connected to the frame, a second bracket member received by the first bracket member and adjustable longitudinally therewith, and a bracket lock connected between the first bracket member and the second bracket member. A kick target assembly can be connected to the frame. The frame-connected bracket assembly can include a vertical orientation adjustment assembly which pivots around horizontal pivots and moves in a vertical plane. A tank-containing base assembly can be provided which includes an annular tank and a reception well for receiving the first vertical adjuster member of the frame-connected bracket assembly. Water is added to the annular tank to provide a floor-supported base for the exercise apparatus.
