Well, some fitness focused developer might read this and think "mission accomplished."
I think there's tremendous potential for a combination of real-time strategy and fighting games with this interface. Already, fighting games are about deploying "moves" which play out in a certain time frame. Fighting games which deploy moves based on forms from martial arts are an obvious first step. Increasing strategy elements and departing from close correspondence to hand-to-hand combat would open up an entire new genre of games. Perhaps adapt the rules of Magic the Gathering to real-time play and parameterize the strength of cards according to the correct execution of forms from martial arts? I think the result could look like the magic battles from "Big Trouble in Little China."
