Taekwondo Lajust Electronic hogu casual testing (part 2/2)

Seems like competitions should ditch these. They just seem so unreliable.

another question, there's no point using hands?

[silvioroberto15]

Hi Thanks for the video. Our state tournament as well as the national qualifiers and nationals of course are requiring use of this system but we have had no way to actually use of even see the system. My daughter is a 71 pound 11 year old who will have to move up to the 12-13 year black belt division this year. She is fast and strong but obviously does not have the weight behind the kicks and she tends to use spinning kicks, axe kick and back kicks alot. How well do you think this will work.

Why do sensors need to be installed on the foot wear and gloves? I thought Piezoeletric materials sense pressure (independent of the source) and convert it to voltage. Also, metal-metal contact is harder than metal-muscle contact. if my first conjecture is true, then that could be why back kicks you showed do not score or you really have to make them hard and "snappy".

[mjantube]

The other question, have you looked into the correlation between the contact area and the likelihood of scoring? I mean, double the force and reduce the kicking area to half,... also, again if my first conjecture is right, then hitting it with a piece of dense wood (not metalic) should score more easily than a back kick. If so, then TKD practitioners may want to consider running on asphalt with no shoes on :) Just getting my mind around it!

Cheers and thanks for the great demonstration.

It sounds like you know much more about these hogus than I. It seemed to me that people were scoring with hard punches at world championships with sensorless gloves, so it is either a completely pressure system, or a hybrid between pressure and conductivity.

The qualities making a back kick harder to score, whatever they are, are not cool. Back kick has been hard enough to get the judges to score as it is.

[mjantube]

Well! I have never seen or touched one of these hugos!

I have another question for you. If the whole thing about conversion of pressure to an electric signal is correct then you have to generate a signal greater than a "SET" signal to score! I think these thresholds are set manually. If they are, do coaches check these set points before the fight or I could score easer against you just because my friend in the judges panel has set my set signal higher than yours? u know ...

Cheers!

thanks i like your videos

[Chicago714]

good stuff

[Beetles163]

LOL there is no senor on the ball of your foot!

and btw lajust was announced official the only approved electronic chest guard by wtf and will be in used in this up coming world championships and was already used in the world cup this year. by the way if you want to know where the senors are you need a current detector beeper and will beep when connect to the senors. also you need to turn your hips more to horizontal your kicking in an angle upwards

[TKDFighterJoe]

The bottom of the foot pad did display electronic conductivity, one of my students is an electronic engineer, and I had him test it.

other hogus are in the process of gaining wtf approval.

also, this video was not intended to display proper kicking technique, nor speed and power. simply the bare minimum force to kick. I explained that in the video.

to everyone else, I'm glad you liked it, I hope I can provide more information in the future.

[rulesco17]

hey had you had problems with the conections of the lajust equipment, because mine has the connection for SERial connection and no computer nowadays have this kind of connection anymore, i really need your help please

[TKDFighterJoe]

I have no idea how to sync it with a computer, sorry I only had it for a day.

[beachie77]

Hey Mate, I competed at the last Olympics and will be at the next world champs, cheers for posting this as its hard to get info like this or hold of lajust pads where I live! Cheers

[cody93rox]

i dont even rekon they sould use these new chest gards they sould just stick with the old ones

[XtremeGRacer]

You know your suppose to use the blade of the foot when your doing a step behind side kick

[TKDFighterJoe]

thank you for the ancient technique advice

If I ever do one, I'll be sure to do one with the weakest part of my foot

[XtremeGRacer]

No problem. Im just saying because when your using the bottom of the foot, your just pushing the target. When you do that, people think the attack is more powerful than it really is. Just saying ^_^

[vnct]

interesting! (: I was trying the adidas ones and it was really nice to see how the power varied do much between different techniques. Never tried those Lajust ones though
