Equipment

Strike measurements

the current gold standard for strike outout analysis. mounted and adjustable with research level tolerances. ability to measure speed, power and calculated real world 'impact force', along with endurance and reaction times from a wide range of strike types

PowerKube

sEMG

Muscle activity

Muscle activation can often be assumed, but sometimes it's best to quantify it. Surface electrodes confirm the extent as to which muscles are turning on and working- This can be used with exercise activation, and also ems to ensure adequate activity.

Multi-cam

BIOMECHANICS

Using fixed positions and angles, multiple cameras and stanfords opensim software, it's possible to convert strikes to basic anatomic movements, letting us look deeper and check their true effectiveness. Certainly a time consuming process, but worth it to diagnose issues.

Education

DEGREES & POSTGRAD

Studying at a range of unis, depending on my specific major at the time: Fitness training at AUT, then sport physiology at University of Auckland, with nutrition and sport nutrition at Massey University, and Biomechanics undergrad/postgrad at both Massey and Auckland

Experience

20+ YEARS - THai FIgher

25 years in muay thai, including extensive years and fight experience fighting professionally in thailand, reaching ranked positions in their most competitive weight classes. Signigicant time as a nutritionist, strength coach, and muay thai coach, and added research experience

Other

More tools available

depending on the situation a range of other equipment types and methods may be used- heart rate monitoring, blood glucose monitoring, ketone and urinalisis, body fat via b.i. or manual testing. Also looking to introduce lactic acid monitoring and oxygen exchange
