HitBOX (Martial Arts Strike Trainer) 
 
Technology advancement has infiltrated all types of fields in recent years and the realm of martial- 
arts is no different. Instead of old training methods passed down from generation to generation, 
athletes are becoming more inclined to use effective tech-based training tools which is starting to 
impact the standards of international martial arts competitions. For developing countries, to be 
able to compete with these athletes on the international stages, there is a need for a cheaper 
alternative to their smart training tools. 
HitBOX(Martial Arts Strike Trainer) is an IOT-based training tool designed for modern combat 
athletes which senses and records user strikes and displays relevant strike parameters in real-time 
and in forms of graphs for comparison and contrast.  
A single-point load cell along with an HX-711 load cell amplifier is used for this project. Data from 
the sensor is sent to the microcontroller, i.e NodeMCU ESP8266 to process Impact Force, Reaction 
Time, and Strike Velocity. These values are sent to the cloud and displayed on a user interface that 
is designed using a personalized dashboard on Adafruit.io.  
The entire system starts once a player is detected using an RFID module. The project provides a 
cost-effective, alternative training tool that presents reasonably accurate data.
