1. A martial arts training device with scoring system, said device comprising:
a padded device designed to be struck by a participant; and
a scoring system attached to said padded device, said scoring system comprising:
at least one impedance-based impact sensing mechanism that detects a source of said impact comprising at least one impedance changing mechanism that changes impedance as each of said conductive material is moved towards and away from said impedance changing mechanism as the first participant delivers the impact;
at least one impact sensing mechanism for which mechanically detects the force of said impact creating electrical charges;
at least one impedance-based impact measuring scoring system determining the source of the impact that occurred based on a change in impedance electromagnetically in said impedance changing mechanism; and
at least one impedance changing rate determination engine configured to determine a rate at which the impedance changes in said impedance changing mechanism; and at least one impact force determination engine configured to determine a magnitude of a force of the impact based on the rate at which the impedance changes in said impedance changing mechanism and the impedance changing a rate data.
