🥋 Find Your Weak Side—Then Strengthen It

How the sKOre PAD™ Helps You Measure Striking Symmetry and Train Smarter

Let’s be honest: your right side is stronger than your left (or vice versa).
It’s not a flaw—it’s just human nature. But when you’re throwing punches, kicks, elbows, or knees, that imbalance matters.

Why?

Because asymmetry in striking leads to inconsistent technique, slower reaction times, and higher risk of injury.

The good news? Now you can measure it.

The sKOre PAD™ gives martial artists, coaches, and athletes the power to track and correct striking symmetry—in real time.


⚖️ Symmetry = Performance + Protection

Research from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) shows that athletes with a side-to-side strength imbalance of more than 15% are significantly more likely to experience overuse injuries and suffer a decline in performance under fatigue.

That means your dominant side could be working overtime, while your weaker side lags behind—and over time, your body pays the price.

The sKOre PAD™ solves that by letting you see the difference, not just feel it.


📲 How the sKOre PAD™ Measures Striking Symmetry

Here’s how it works:

  1. Mount the sKOre PAD™ to your preferred striking surface
  2. Connect via Bluetooth to the sKOre App
  3. Select a Symmetry Drill (e.g., 10 right punches vs. 10 left punches)
  4. The app captures and compares:
    • Power output
    • Speed
    • Reaction time
    • Accuracy
  5. Your symmetry score is displayed instantly in the app

You’ll know exactly how much stronger, faster, or sharper one side is—and what needs to be done to balance it.


📊 Small Gaps Make a Big Difference

You might think a 10–15% gap between your left and right side isn’t a big deal. But in a fight, it’s the split second that makes all the difference.

A study in the Journal of Sports Sciences found that even a 10% discrepancy in striking force between limbs can affect timing, coordination, and accuracy in competitive fighters—especially in later rounds when fatigue sets in.

Imagine your left side reacting just a beat too slow...
Or your roundhouse kick lacking the pop it needs...
Or your combos falling apart when switching stances...

That’s why striking symmetry isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about effectiveness.


đź§  From Measurement to Muscle Memory

The sKOre PAD™ doesn’t just expose your imbalances—it helps you correct them.

Once you’ve identified your symmetry gap, you can build custom training routines to strengthen your weak side:

  • Targeted repetition drills
  • Speed and timing challenges
  • Reaction-based combos
  • Isolated side-specific strength work

The app tracks your scores over time, so you can watch your symmetry improve with every session.

“I was shocked to see my left side was 22% slower than my right. I would’ve never known without the sKOre PAD™. Now it’s a focused part of my training.”
— Coach A., Competitive Muay Thai Trainer


đźš« Reduce Injuries Before They Happen

Imbalanced striking puts stress on joints, hips, shoulders, and core. Over time, it leads to breakdown—especially in high-volume athletes.

The sKOre PAD™ helps prevent this by identifying small problems before they become big ones.

Symmetry isn’t optional—it’s injury prevention.


🥇 Train Like a Complete Athlete

A great striker is fast, powerful—and balanced. The sKOre PAD™ gives you the insight and tools to train both sides equally, build resilience, and compete with confidence.

Whether you’re prepping for a tournament, running a class, or just trying to get better every day—striking symmetry is the edge most athletes are missing.
