Homemade Car Tyre (Tire) Punchbag/MMA Kicking Target

The perfect homemade solution to having no cash/access to a punchbag... http://oakstboxing.com/index.php

So here's a few of my solutions as to the 'how'
Tools required are a reciprocating/hack saw, power drill (HSS bits/Holesaw) and Quick clamps
And various sticky-together items such as; self-tapper screws, washers, bent angle brackets, metal strips for backing plates, nuts & bolts, untreated wood, some chain/rope, eyebolts, shackles
Not forgetting a couple of tyres... (tires) Most of the fixing solutions are interchangeable, modify as you see fit.

Wall/column mounted Punch/MMA Kicking Target
Basically a plywood backing board, 3x2 fixing blocks,
plenty of screws and half a dozen shield anchors
(oh and slightly more than half a tyre)


Swinging uppercut styly.
You'll need three tyres as the uppercut sections take a bit more than half a tyre each.
Tri-point hanger (more stable than 4 point spport) options:
X. Basic rope
Y. Chain & eyebolt with backing block/plate/washer
Z. Chain,shackle & snap carabiners
+1 Swivel joint/D-ring to hanger support - it's upto you.


Fixity Options:
A. Wood block spacers with screws
B. Fold-in tabs bolted/screwed with washers/backing plates
C. Metal brackets, fixings as 'B'
D. Fold-out tabs bolted/screwed with washers/backing plates
D2. Tab extended - gives better load spread
A further option would be tabs with enlarged holes allowing the use of rope to lash 'em together.

Cross-over piece cutting/folding.

Disclaimer->
Due to their very nature, tyres can snag/grab saw blades/drill bits - you've been warned!

Have fun!
