Unified Weapons Master, or UWM, is a hybrid martial art developed by the Australian start-up firm Chiron Global using Smart technology in a gladiator-style, carbon-fiber armored suit. UWM is the first sport that combines Gaming technology with weapons-based Combat sports. The armored suit technology, also known as “The Lorica suit”, completely protects its user's body while electronic sensors record an opponent's strike position and power on the body. Opponents use a variety of martial arts and weaponry to attack each other and software keeps score of the damage that would have been done to an unprotected body.
The Lorica suit derives its name from the Latin word Lorica literally meaning “body armor”. Also, the name references various armor types of the Roman army such as the Lorica segmentata.
