In short awesome protective TRON suits full of sensors to gauge impact and damage. Full contact weapon fighting is here! I for one would love to test my weapons skills in something like this! I hope it gains momentum. I'm really curious to see how styles of weapon use would evolve in a full contact, resistive environment. I foresee grappling being a big deciding factor initially as it's always played a big role in weapon combat, the suits will pretty much negate the impact of most striking, and there are plenty of wrestling and mma schools around. It kind of worries me to some extent though as you'll get similar issues to modern sport fencing. Near mutual hits possibly scoring for whoever hits first, ignoring attacks because they don't cause significant damage, not accounting for bruising/broken bones/limb injury... But it will probably still be fun to watch. http://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/unified-weapons-master-future-fighting/
That is the coolest thing I've come across in a long time Cough ... Cough ... Future Map meet ...cough
