I was looking at these video cameras

while they have been used for other sports, I was wondering if it would be possible or practical to attach it to head gear during sparring...one to analyise your fights, from both an attackers and a defenders first person.

 

What do you think?

Oh that could be the coolest thing..

 

You are with that thing on your head while sparring and you can watch frame by frame what happend to you after you get caught with that high roundhouse kick or that vicious right Cross..

 

You can watch the roof and the faces of your sensei and classmates trying to bring you from the other side..and see how everyone cares about you. lol

 

Now serious, i think it could be interesting. but i'll be afraid someone broke it with a strikes.

 

Also, can be unconfortable to wear while you spar.

Maybe if they had a smaller version, but that's not something I'd like to be messing around with while sparring.

Seems we had another thread running on this same thing ...

I closed that one since there were more posts made to that one (although that one was posted a day earlier!) You boyz do shop for some unusual gadgets!

 

I'm with submission as far as the "comfort" issue ... I just about manage with all the gear we are required to wear to move about effortlessly, but just for giggles it would be pretty neat to view some playbacks!

For a standing sparring match it might work. But for all the ground grapplers, it probably wouldn't help at all.

How much are they? £$£$£$£?

man that would be cool. but totally impractical! stil very cool idea, nice one Iron Arahat

I was think that they could be attached to a full face sparing helmet (like the ones sold by aries). I'm thinking that watching yourself fight from an opponents perspective may give you some insight to weaknesses, and openings you are leaving.

We will be trying this out...I'll post the footage when it's done.

 

Should be good for a laugh!

wow your accually gonna do it!?! wow im looking forward to it!
