Damn. This is good shit.
Why didn't this exist when i did karate?

It did, but it was very hard to find and not very marketable on the business end of dojos in the late 80s and 90s. I had to look for years before I found an Ishin-Ryu school and our attendance was always low, not many stayed for long. I started training martial arts when I was 16 at an "American Kickboxing" school, which was just watered down Shotokan. I didn't find Ishin-ryu til I was 23.

That's what Carnevale and I talked about during our interview. Rutten comments on Shotokan in America during the event, but many of the traditional Okinawan styles got phased out over the "McDojo" types people always think of when they hear the word "karate".

I think Karate Combat can truly be good for the art and remove the stigma folks have attached to it. I wrote about here too:

Karate Combat a Promotion with Potential

Pretty darn cool.

What's the bar under their names for though?

It measures heart rate during the action. If you watch the video interview with Carnevale, she explains it's a small sensor on the wrist portion of the glove about the size of a band aid.
