Yes, what your father is doing IS abuse. If he uses any object, stick, bat, paddle, hand, leg, fist, etc. in a violent manner towards you as what he would consider "disipline", it is illegal and he can be arrested for it.
Especially that it's leaving marks on your body, it's even worse. You should talk to your mother about it, because this IS illegal in EVERY state. Next time he does it, you should notify the autorities, what he's doing isn't right and should pay the price for abuse towards a minor.
