Abstract

Abstract A holder for breakable karate boards includes upper and lower spaced apart horizontal frame members secured to a vertical support for mounting the same on a wall. The free forward end of each frame member carries a track which faces the track of the other frame member for holding a karate board therebetween and in a vertical position. The width of the tracks are adjustable so that a plurality of boards can be held and each track is movable forwardly and rearwardly relative to the other so that the board or boards can be tilted either upwardly or downwardly. A bracket is provided for mounting the holder on a wall in any desired vertical position. The holder can also be removed from the bracket and mounted on various other pieces of equipment.
