What do you think of this, AI assisted kicking force calculation?

I used help from an online AI to calculate the real kicking force I was hitting the 225lbs standing water bag with at 20 years old, based on the fact I could send it airborne across a room by 10 feet of length, and I used to think it was 2800 pounds based on my own calculations plus input from a military retired EOD member.

With help from the bot, I instead found that the minimum kicking force I was applying to the bag was 6000 foot-pounds force, assuming a 0.2 second contact time with the bag. If the contact time is less than that, the force is even higher. Since this was a penetrating "Thrust Kick" I assume 0.2 seconds is a good contact time for the kick, as it's inconceivable that a 0.05 second contact time could be "penetrating" the target.

You could always exercise your brain instead of having the AI do it. Every time you use the AI, or even a calculator, it means you were not using your brain, which in turn means you are losing the ability to use your own brain.

Think it falls under the category of “why would anyone need to know that?”

For starters it's useful to track people's progress on whether they are getting better at their techniques.

I find it strange that you wouldn't understand the value in tracking your punching or kicking power. Don't you count the number of pushups or situps you do each day? Or don't you count how long it takes for you to walk or run a mile when exercising? Metrics help you know whether you are training correctly and often enough.
