Smart target system for combat fitness and competition training

A combat scoring system, comprising:

• a user access point;
• an analytic system;
• one or more target systems, wherein each of the target systems includes
• a plurality of impact targets, wherein each of the impact targets is associated with a specific location to strike, wherein each of the impact targets includes a sensor matrix embedded within that includes a plurality of sensor systems that are interconnected spatially and logically with respect to each other for a corresponding impact target, to generate one or more sensor signals when struck for detection of impact and motion with respect to a specific sensor system of the plurality of sensor systems of the sensor matrix of the corresponding impact target;
• and
• a control box, including a processor, wherein the control box is linked to the analytic system;
• wherein the analytic system is enabled to:
• establish a user account that corresponds to an athlete, through interaction by a user through the user access point,
• allow the athlete to access the corresponding user account through interaction with a selected target system, and
• allow the athlete to initiate a session at the selected target system through the accessed corresponding user account;
• wherein during the initiated session, the processor is enabled to provide feedback to the athlete corresponding to interaction between the athlete and one or more of the impact targets, wherein for each of the corresponding impact targets, the feedback includes impact information and accuracy information corresponding to the interaction between the athlete and the specific sensor system of the plurality of sensor systems of the sensor matrix of the corresponding impact target;
• and
• wherein, responsive to interaction between the athlete and one or more of the impact targets during the initiated session, impact data responsive to the session is acquired and stored at any of the control box or the analytic system, wherein the acquired and stored impact data is associated with the user account for the athlete, and wherein the acquired and stored impact data can be retrieved by any of the athlete and the user.
