Need help in acquiring Martial Arts Kicking Dummy/Bag

[brett05]

My kids are now doing Karate and their Sensei wants them to practice their kicks against the wall or tree. Not happening. Do they sell somethnig like a kicking dummy or floor bag of some sort to practice kics and punches against?
Anyone know where I can find one reasonably priced?
Heck I don't even know the name of it, but I am hoping for some CCS help.

thanks!

They also have a dummy for $24.99, but it looks like a cheap blowup doll.

if you have 2 kids roughly same age / strength
one of them can hold a kick shield

while other kicks it

but for snap kicks, something like this works

one person puts on their hand and the other punches / kicks at it

got these images from AWMA http://www.awma.com/shopbycategory/training-exercise.html and http://www.awma.com/displayproducts/training-exercise/targets.html

prices seem a little high to me, so maybe you could shop around and find better prices

Kicking trees builds character.

why kick trees? Find a packer fan.

You might need to look into bungee-swing-seats, before your Sensei tells your kids to practice jumping off bridges.

Ever consider a Goodwill/St. Vincent DePauls :shrug:

Also garage sales.

Speaking of Goodwill, that's where I find vintage sports apparel once in a while...like the Bulls 98' threepeat locker room tee w/the NBA hologram tag still on it for $3.

Lots of Bears apparel in those second hand stores around here.
