Abstract: An articulated cervical spine and neck protection system including an articulated cervical shroud assembly made of a rigid material and including an inner cervical shroud being approximately funnel-shaped and having a funnel portion and a neck portion, the inner cervical shroud is configured to be worn around a neck of a wearer, and the funnel portion configured to cradle a head of a wearer from below such that movement of the head of the wearer causes a corresponding movement of the inner cervical shroud; and an outer cervical shroud having a lower portion and an upper portion including a wall and is sized to sit concentrically around the neck portion of the inner cervical shroud so that the inner cervical shroud is partially nested within the outer cervical shroud that, when worn together, forms a ball-and-socket style articulation with the upper portion of the outer cervical shroud.

Abstract: An articulated cervical spine and neck protection system for protecting the cervical spine and the soft tissues of the neck, and for reducing related injuries including concussion. The invention has been developed primarily for use in full combat scenarios, including weapons-based combat, and combat-training scenarios, including in the defence forces, for law enforcement, or in martial arts competition or training including those involving weapons. The articulated cervical spine and neck protection system comprises an articulated cervical shroud assembly that allows good movement while protecting the cervical spine and soft tissues of the throat and neck against risks commonly associated with full contact sports and real combat scenarios, including weapons-based combat.

Abstract: An electronic scoring system for use in a variety of martial arts (including traditional styles of martial arts, mixed martial arts, weapons based martial arts or the fighting arts generally). The scoring system allows an objective determination of the force, location and effectiveness of forces applied during competition, without the need for electric weaponry.
