Australian Made High Tech Armour Could Reinvent Mixed Martial Arts
21st February 2021
ONE of sport’s most controversial categories, Mixed Martial Arts, could get an entirely new outlook if a competition based on Australian technology takes off.
UWM — Unified Weapons Master — plans to run competitions later this year between world-calibre martial artists, with a difference. That difference would be that unlike current MMA bouts, weapon use would be encouraged, because combatants would be clad in high tech armour designed not only to protect but also to register the real force behind each strike.
