I've been looking for a martial arts notation system for a very long time and have never found anything suitable. I end up seeing a lot of drawings and a lot of stuff that is difficult to follow in writing. Thoughts:
- Is it possible?
- Is it worth it? We have video and body-tracking software/hardware now.
Is it possible?
It's difficult for me to assess whether or not martial arts is too complex for a notation system. While I have seen a lot of dance notation it is still very difficult to chart all the movements of a human body, especially when it interacts in-time with another body or multiple other bodies.A blogger who goes only by GG has made a great few posts about notation in martial arts. He/She's got some good ideas about what could be done.

I wonder if it would even be possible to use labonotation for this purpose? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labanotation -- if you're unfamiliar with it)
Hey Jesse -
There's been lot's of progress on notation since the last time you left a comment. You should take a look when you have a moment.
@aikifox85: The system which I'm developing borrows the notion of a vertical staff from Labanotation, but I've simplified it down into only 3 sections from the original 7 or so.
