COMBAT PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
FOR PROFESSIONAL KICKBOXING & MUAY THAI
Knowing how hard a Muay Thai practitioner or professional kickboxer
can strike is important for several reasons…
EFFECTIVE OFFENSE
Understanding one’s striking power allows a kickboxer to deliver impactful strikes that can cause damage to their opponent.
By knowing their capabilities, kickboxers can generate the necessary force and technique to maximize the effectiveness of their punches, kicks, and knee strikes.
This can greatly increase their chances of landing clean hits and potentially knocking out their opponent.
DEFENCE & STRATEGY
Knowledge of one’s striking power enables kickboxers to gauge the potential impact of their strikes on their opponents.
It helps them determine the amount of force required to defend themselves effectively.
For instance, if a kickboxer knows they possess significant power, they may opt for a more offensive strategy, relying on their striking ability to intimidate and deter their opponent from aggressive moves.
INJURY PREVENTION
Striking power is not only about attacking but also about minimizing the risk of injury. Kickboxers need to strike with enough force to be effective but not so much that they risk injuring themselves.
Understanding their power levels allows kickboxers to strike with control, minimizing the chances of over-extension or hyper-extension that could lead to injuries such as fractures or sprains.
TRAINING
OPTIMIZATION
Training optimization: Knowing striking power helps kickboxers tailor their training regimens accordingly.
They can focus on techniques and exercises that enhance their power, such as strength training, plyometrics, and heavy bag workouts.
By understanding their capabilities, kickboxers can improve their speed, accuracy, and striking efficiency.
PSYCHOLOGICAL ADVANTAGE
Confidence plays a significant role in combat sports. Knowing one’s striking power can boost a kickboxer’s confidence, giving them a mental advantage over their opponent.
This confidence can influence the kickboxer’s performance, decision-making, and overall mindset inside the ring.

What is the PowerKube Combat Performance Training center?
Researched and developed in consultation with sports scientists, professional athletes, and martial artists, the PowerKubeCombat Performance Training Center is the only system in the world that accurately measures and analyses striking performance, speed, and fighting endurance for fighters of combat sports.
The PowerKube itself is a tactile striking pad that incorporates controlled compression technology (CCT), which controls the compression of the pad up to 12cm, making it ideal for measuring all types of strikes, from a light strike to the hardest strike a combat athlete can throw.
Every type of upper and lower-body strike, from hooks, crosses, jabs, elbows, and uppercuts to roud-house kicks, side-kicks, push kicks and knees are programmed into the system.
Built into the tactile pad is an impact analysis technology that provides instant feedback on performance. Combined with custom-built, intuitive touchscreen interface, it allows athletes to get feedback in real time about their striking speed and power.
Using the precision data captured by the PowerKube athletes and coaches can measure and track every element of a striking technique and athletic combat performance.
3 KEY STRIKING PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR POWER
IMPACT POWER
The PowerKube measures the peak power generated at the point of strike impact. Measurements are shown in Watts (W). This is the initial impact measurement, which is related to the speed of the strike. Like a shock, it lasts fractions of a second.
KINETIC ENERGY
Human Force
All strikes are comprised of both power and energy but in varying amounts. The Franklin (f) is a metric developed based on an algorithm that combines both the power and energy of a strike to reflect its combined destructive power.
A strike with high Kinetic Energy and Lower Impact Power can have the same Human Force measurement as a strike with low Kinetic Energy and high Impact Power.
MEASURING STRIKING SPEED
The PowerKube Combat Performance Center can measure the reaction time in seconds. The feedback is instant. The PowerKube gives the athlete a visual and audible trigger and captures the Human Force, Impact Power to generate a speed index. In combat sports, an athlete’s ability to respond quickly and powerfully to stimulus is key to successful performance. There is no other technology that measures this accurately.
The PowerKube Speed Index is a measurement that reflects the reaction time and technical striking ability. Reducing the reaction time to stimulus in a combat situation is key to taking advantage of openings in the guard of an opponent and to counterstrikes effectively.
COMBAT ATHLETE PROFILING
Created by measuring performance in multiple techniques across the three power performance indicators, speed, and endurance. This allows athletes and coaches to monitor athletic ability over time.
A CAP Rating is generated for each user, which considers the athlete’s weight and fighting style, to create a rating for each of the KPIs, the sum of which is used to rate fighters based on a calculated Combat Athlete Performance (CAP) rating.
