CompuBox, the company that brought punch statistics to Boxing, is now offering its latest program, CompuStrike, to the Mixed Martial Arts industry.

The CompuStrike computer program counts and categorizes strikes thrown and connected during mixed martial arts fights, breaking down standing and ground stikes, as well as takedowns and submission attempts. Tallied arm and leg strikes produce a “total strike” count.
