Idea: Krav Maga "Game"

[tdw]

Hello All,

Since I just had this idea and I have no idea if this has ever been mentioned before (tried to search for it but didnt find anything) I’ll explain my idea…

I am an absolutely fan of Krav Maga and also of videogames. A mate of mine has this game for the Xbox called UFC Personal Trainer, which i think is awesome.

The current state of technology has advanced up to a level where the consoles can track every limb’s movement, even nudges and seperate fingers.

Therefore I thought that it might be an amazing idea to have something similar to the UFC:PT game for consoles, either for practicing techniques, refreshing memory or as a warm up for an upcoming exam or just a nice workout at home…

Thought i would throw this into the open and would love to hear how everybody feels about such a “game”…

Cheers and kind regards,

Aat

I’m not a video game kinda guy so I’m probably not the target audience for that, so take this with a grain of salt.
But I don’t think the KM community in general is large enough to support a KM personal trainer / fitness video game in and of itself. It could work, but the key is what differentiates it from the UFC version and others out there like it.

Sounds like it could be fun except for the fact you’d need a training partner, hard to practice gun from the front without someone attacking you with a gun. 🙂

Think there was a game at one time for one of the consoles that taught self defense.

That’s absolutely true…
Depending on how good the motion recognition software is, it might be “ok”… but indeed, nothing feels like the real deal in this case. It would provide a nice feel for the basics though.
