hello, i’m trying to research information for my next game project, i’m trying to find martial arts mocap files.

all mocap that i have found about martial arts, karate files, i want to show many styles of martial arts in my next game, that is why i came here with this question:

is there a site on the web where i can buy martial arts mocap by style (karate, kung fu, kenpo, taekwondo …)

if not, is there any workaround ?

thanks in advance for all the help.

Hire a bunch of martial arts practitioners and take them to a local mocap studio?

Or do the animations the old fashioned way by hand.

Or, if you have a large room somewhere, pick up a couple Kinects or Sony PS Eye cameras on eBay and a 3-month subscription to iPi Mocap. Go to a mixed style martial arts tournament and ask some of the forms competitors, not the fighters. The forms folks focus on looks, which is what you want in a game.

Just wanted to add: By this I mean a western-style tournament (forms, point sparring, etc.) that’s open to any style of traditional martial arts, not a mixed martial arts (MMA) event.
