Training bag

Abstract

The present invention provides a novel training bag means which can be positioned during use to provide consistent resistance over its entire surface impact area to impact from blows from punching and kicking and the like.

1 . A training bag means comprising, an enclosed resistance surface having two opposite ends; 
 a filling material situated within the enclosed resistance surface effective to provide a resistance force to a force striking or impacting the resistance surface and bag means; and    wherein the filling material is subject to varying density change relative to the training bag means' supported position; and    further comprising a training bag means supporting means situated on each end of the training bag means, and which are suitable for supporting the bag means during storage and in use during application of force thereto.
