The 55 years old UFC commentator and famous podcaster, Joe Rogan, trained in Kickboxing and Taekwondo. Although not a professional fighter himself, he knows the techniques inside out. In an episode of Rogan’s podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, his record on PowerKube was talked about. PowerKube is a machine that measures the human force or, to put it in simple words, it measures impact power.

Rogan’s kicks are known to have a gunshot noise. The PowerKube recorded his roundhouse kick to have a potent force of 152 thousand franklins. Recently, a group of martial artists attempted to break the beloved commentator’s power-kicking record.
