For practice in my unfinished basement, I took a cheap plastic exercise mat, rolled it up, wrapped it with several layers of duct tape, slipped a bungee cord through it and hung it from a floor joist. You can use a crosspiece at the bottom to secure the roll or simply hook the bungee to a layer of the roll.
You can get it swinging to simulate movement and practice multiple strikes on it. It is best used with four or five inch blades as anything much larger can easily go through the roll and sever the bungee.
Two of three of these hanging at different distances swinging at different timings and in different directions can provide an interesting experience.
