The design of a striking dummy and the theoretical foundations of martial arts strikes

Purpose The aim of the research is to develop the design of a striking dummy and the theoretical foundations of martial arts strikes and to test its effectiveness in a pedagogical experiment. This article presents the design of a striking dummy and the foundational theories behind martial arts strikes. We used modern microelectronics, including a diverse range of sensors, for executing a multitude of electromechanical measurements. Furthermore, we developed a software package for collecting, analysing, and storing data from sports training. Methods The TaePunchBag program, part of this setup, integrates several combat sports including boxing, taekwondo, kickboxing, karate and hand-to-hand combat. It classifies and evaluates various types of hand and foot strikes, conducting specialized tests to measure attributes such as speed, response to signals, force up to 800 kg, and impact accuracy. Results The article details the tasks and operation of the "Software complex for measuring sportsmen’s blows". Additionally, the advanced range of microelectronic sensors supports various electromechanical measurements, further complemented by a software package that handles data collection, analysis, and storage from sports training. Conclusions The application of this sophisticated software system to martial arts strike measurements, particularly in conjunction with a novel punching bag apparatus, will significantly improve our understanding of impact kinetics. This integrated approach is expected to produce accurate and reliable data on punch and kick power, enabling coaches and athletes to refine training strategies and boost their output.
