What do others customers say about StrikeMeter®?
"Our StrikeMeter has been an awesome investment both inside our gym and outside!" When used with our members, it's a great tool for teaching proper technique, where users can see improvement by hitting higher numbers when making proper adjustments. Outside, at our many expos and events, it's a big hit with the general public to bring out that competitive nature. One of the best features of our gym is our standup bags and as soon as we can get people to hit them, they're hooked. StrikeMeter has been that extra mile to bringing in more clientele. Definitely a tool to add to any gym or studio!"

"StrikeMeter is easy to use. The Velcro attachments work well and can easily be installed on the bag base in a few seconds. Children and adults in our classes get excited about seeing their scores in real-time on every strike.
I personally have found StrikeMeter to be a great training tool. After the initial fun of trying to get the highest score possible, you quickly realize that the real benefit comes from the opportunity to improve any striking technique through immediate feedback. Students will often ask me if there is a “trick” to getting a higher score. The “trick” is to improve your kicking fundamentals - proper chamber, explosive hips, range of motion, etc. Of course, these are the same lessons we teach in our classes!
We purchased multiple StrikeMeters so that we could add them into our camp activities and tournaments for greater excitement and value to members. Overall, it has been a great teaching and training tool!"

"I purchased a StrikeMeter a few months ago simply to allow my advanced karate students to measure the amount of power they were able to generate. And it effectively did that. But it also had two much more valuable benefits. First, it allowed my beginning and intermediate students to see the difference that executing their techniques with proper form could have on the power they generated. I would have them kick or strike the bag as they normally would and the StrikeMeter would measure the amount of power they generated. Then I would give them a few pointers and have them execute the same technique again, this time using proper form. Without exception, their scores rose significantly. This enabled them to feel what a properly thrown technique felt like so they could duplicate it in the future. But a second benefit also emerged. They loved using the StrikeMeter and regularly asked if they could kick or punch the metered bag in order to see if they were improving. So it had an effect on student satisfaction, student progress, and student retention. The StrikeMeter was money well spent."

“My staff and I love the StrikeMeter! We have used it in many ways. We have built many games around the tool, which is especially great for our advanced students and Black Belts to help keep them motivated. It is also a great tool that helps our more passive students learn how to build power in their strikes and kicks. The younger students are always asking to use the StrikeMeter because to them it is like a video game. It’s a creative way to get everyone to try even harder in class.”
“This is by far one of the best investments that you can make to spice up your classes and increase the overall skills and abilities of your students!”

"I recently purchased 2 StrikeMeters and I am extremely satisfied with this terrific product! I had previously tried another martial arts power measurement device that had interactive sensors and software requiring the use of a computer laptop and chargers — it was way too complicated. StrikeMeter is far better. Sometimes being simple to use is a good thing."

"Our students could hardly wait to get StrikeMeter out of the shipping box and on to the wave bag--they were so excited! StrikeMeter was the easiest thing in the world to install, we just peeled off the protective tape from the velcro strips, stuck it on the bag base and turned it on.
The kids in our program absolutely loved it--especially the teenagers. They were so excited using the StrikeMeter, they couldn't contain themselves! We have used several force measurement tools in our schools over the years, and StrikeMeter is the best yet."
"I absolutely recommend StrikeMeter to martial arts school owners!"

"I love StrikeMeter. It fits in with what we do in self-defense, and no one has to hold it. StrikeMeter is great to teach a technique for the cage, street, or ring—get their base line score from the first strike, and then show them how to hit harder. The StrikeMeter feedback proves to them that the instruction is working. I recently did a program at the Kiwanis Club. One brave attendee, allowed me to teach him some boxing skills. I continued to coach him as he struck the bag with the StrikeMeter. Boy, does StrikeMeter get people excited! With each higher number on the StrikeMeter, the whole group was cheering for him louder and louder!”

"I was amazed when I first tried StrikeMeter! What an improvement over anything that has previously existed on the market beforehand. First, being a computer processor, it is extremely accurate - giving precise feedback to the user. It is not a toy! In teaching, immediate feedback is essential to make corrections to technique. I have not seen anything more effective to providing immediate feedback in this manner. Second, it is simple to use. There is nothing to read or install. I just attach it to the bag-base and turn on the switch. It does not take any knowledge or maintenance. There is no time wasted for set-up or preparation -- it is extremely efficient! Lastly, StrikeMeter is fun to use! What a difference that makes for everyone. It keeps the students from getting bored. Just amazing!"

"I purchased the StrikeMeter back in March and have been playing with it ever since. It is a blast having the power of the strikes measured. What a great teaching tool since I am constantly stressing power with my students. Now we can see the results of the training. They really like it and last week I videoed them doing their most powerful strike while hitting the bag. It definitely helps motivate them to hit harder and harder. Great invention. I highly recommend."

I would highly recommend StrikeMeter to other martial arts groups!"

“The StrikeMeter generated a lot of excitement in our school. Students became (positively) addicted to using it and looked forward to their bag workouts. StrikeMeter is a great teaching instrument and it gives students feedback on proper form and technique. Students liked StrikeMeter so much that they offered to buy one to put in our school!”
“I recommend StrikeMeter for every martial artist!”

“Thank you so much for offering my school to test out your StrikeMeter. My students found it fun and challenging because they constantly wanted to perform better with each punch and kick. As an instructor, it was very useful in teaching the students how to increase their score by understanding the mechanics of their techniques and hitting with the correct part of the foot, and the importance of pivoting the foot and rotating the hip.”

“Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to field test the StrikeMeter with our classes. Our students love it! It's provided them with the chance to measure their power, and to compete - in a friendly way - with each other. Best of all, it's given them the chance to compete against themselves as they try to improve their accuracy, force, and technique.” “StrikeMeter is a terrific motivational tool - thanks!”
