Saw a similar Product, but with direct impact training. A partnership with https://joinfightcamp.com/ might be a great thing, especially, if you added sensor pads for the feet to record leg kicks.

With your product, I'm reminded of Wii Boxing.

Great comment, thanks for the suggestion. Fightcamp are actually another former YC company - they started as Hykso punch trackers before pivoting to Fightcamp more recently. They are approaching the more conventional fitness market - like Peloton but with boxing, and their prices and model reflect this.

With Quell we're more focused on the immersive gamification - using combat fitness alongside a compelling story to engage users who find existing fitness gamification falls short of what they need to motivate themselves.

We would love to add sensor pads for kicks - Check out our stretch goal for it on the Kickstarter page!
