Using an anchored, adjustable position Powerkube and recording your starting points, we can accurately quantify your power output while performing the majority of significant standing strikes. The Powerkube uses both Joules and Watts, but also its own unit which is much more appropriate in regards to the realistic impact of a strike on the human body.
As well as testing the effective power of a single strike, we also measure reaction time, which takes into account muscle activation & recruitment speeds and cognition/mental response, and also effective muscular endurance, through power decrease over multiple similar strikes.
This gives real baseline output values, to then give evidence of results of any changes in training protocol, whether it be strength and power training, diet changes, changes in technique, biomechanic adjustments, or coming back from injuries. This lets us know what's working, what isn't, so we know what not to waste time on and where to really focus. It's a great, forward thinking, result-based tool that integrates well with any of the other performance work offered.
Who it's for
Anyone training, wanting real number-based feedback to see improvement.
Incredibly effective for fighters increasing their power with strength programs, as it quickly tells us if the program is efficient or not (a real time saver).
Experienced beginners experimenting with their technique, trying to work out power optimisation.
Elite fighters, looking for that last bit of refinement in power output, or (perhaps more significantly) reaction time and power output combined, revealing both muscle activation and ideal recruitment patterns.
