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