Competitions in martial arts can be confusing to a very young eye. Calling systems are just as popular as making calls, no matter how small or invisible. During a recent show, the Korea Taekwondo Association showcased some new technologies designed to make the game more visually appealing, by turning the competition into a real world combat game.
The system incorporates new wearable sensors that measure dynamic forces in every attack and reduce them to Fighters' health bars accordingly, much like a fighting game. Both competitors start with 100 health points, and the first to throw the opponent at 0 is the winner. It all comes with the greatest sounds and drawings. The result is something that looks like a combination of Olympic games too Tekken competition-except for bears and Jaguar-masked wrestlers.
My friends several ways earning points in a traditional taekwondo game, most of which revolves around a fighter's ability to attack a rival land. Participants in elite tournaments often wear special gear that tracks these movements and rewards points, even pieces that easily consume acceptable areas of attack. While this has been an incentive for judges to look relevant in their analyzes, some see this as a decline in traditional taekwondo strategies rather than a defense of excessive self-defense by competitors, which creates derogatory terms such as "the foot wall"Defining this slow-moving and practical style of approaching technology-sponsored games.
As such, the benefits of a game-inspired combat system are twofold. It also emphasizes the taekwondo sound skills that are reduced by the introduction of strike detection technology and makes the integration easier to follow – and consequently more enjoyable – for viewers. Everyone will not always understand the severity of every problem and attack but, as in fighting games, the presence of grinding information easily increases the number of people who can follow the matches at the base level.
According to South Korea & # 39; s Yonhap News, The Korea Taekwondo Association hopes to showcase the beauty of this scoring style with these shows, but it remains to be seen if the league will officially adopt new technologies for upcoming competition. What I do know is that, as someone very interested in martial arts, the video above affected me in a way no other war has ever experienced. An authentic, more motivated Taekwondo can deliver Tekken, better.
