What to film for karate feedback
Start with 20–60 seconds of a familiar kata sequence, kihon combination or controlled kumite exchange. Keep your full stance and the transitions between techniques in view. Get your partner's permission before recording and upload only footage you have permission to use.
Style and ruleset affect the intended movement. Ask your instructor to assess a correction against the form you are learning. AI feedback can be wrong; replay the reported moment and ask your coach about any correction you cannot verify.
Compare karate training apps. For a school, see the Academy video review workflow. Read our footage privacy policy before uploading.

An AI karate coach, on demand.
Karate rewards precision, and most of what holds a karateka back is small. A gyaku-zuki that starts in the shoulder instead of the hip loses most of its power before the fist moves. A mawashi-geri with a lazy chamber telegraphs itself a beat early, which is all a kumite opponent needs. Stance transitions in kata collapse at the moment the weight shifts, so the form looks strong in the freeze frames and soft in between them. From the inside of the movement, none of this is easy to feel, and an instructor running a full dojo cannot watch every rep of every student.
mmaGPT is an AI karate coach that reviews a 20 to 60 second clip of your training. It checks hip rotation and the connection from the floor through the hips on gyaku-zuki, the knee position and pivot on mawashi-geri, the distance and timing you work at in kumite, and the depth, balance and weight transfer of your stance transitions in kata. It returns timestamped notes on what went wrong plus a drill to fix it, written for your grade rather than for a competition squad. It works alongside your instructor, never instead of one: it is a second set of eyes for the kata you practice at home and the rounds your sensei did not get to watch. Film on your phone, upload in the browser, and bring the drill to your next class.
It works as an AI karate trainer between classes: you film, it reviews, your coach stays in charge.
What mmaGPT coaches in karate.
Gyaku-zuki hip rotation
Whether the punch starts from the hip and the back foot, or from the shoulder. Power in a reverse punch comes from the floor through the hips, and the hips are where it is usually lost.
Mawashi-geri chamber
Knee height and the pivot on the standing foot before the kick opens. A tight chamber hides the roundhouse; a loose one announces it.
Kumite distance (maai)
The range you hold, and how you step in and out of it. Most scoring exchanges are decided by who controls distance a beat before the attack.
Kata stance transitions
Depth, balance and weight transfer between stances. Kata is usually strong in the stopped positions and soft in the movement between them.

How mmaGPT's AI reads your karate.
mmaGPT is karate AI built on computer vision. The model watches your clip frame by frame, tracks body position, balance and timing through each movement, and compares what it sees with how the technique should look for your discipline and skill level. Every correction is pinned to the second it happens, so you can replay the exact moment and check it yourself.
You get one priority fix, the reason it matters and a drill to train it, usually in under a minute. Phone footage works. A side angle with your whole body in frame gives the AI the clearest view.
Built by a world champion.
