What this app is not

The limits of the studio stated plainly: not coaching, not assessment, not medical advice, not a rulebook, not a partner, not a record of you.

Not a coach

The studies are solo rehearsal aids for movements you have already been taught. They show where a model's joints go. They cannot see you, cannot correct you and cannot tell whether a movement is right for your body, your range or your event. No coach has reviewed the model's movements; every study says so in its own scope note, and this page says it again because it is the most important limit of all.

Not a form assessment

Nothing in the app measures you. There is no camera, no sensor and no analysis of your movement. The measurements in the mechanical specs are of the model, and they exist so the model cannot drift from what was authored, not so that you can compare yourself to it.

Not medical advice

The warm-up page describes a common structure and the FAQ answers questions about the app. Neither is advice about your body. Pain, dizziness, an injury, a condition or a question about whether you should train at all belong with a clinician. The app will pause, log a partial session and get out of the way; it will not tell you what the pain means.

Not a rulebook

The rules primer describes what most rule sets share. It does not describe yours. Which strikes are allowed, how rounds run, what equipment is worn and how a decision is reached come from the organisation running your event, read with your coach. See the rules and scoring primer for what a primer can and cannot tell you.

Not a partner

Some studies draw a second figure: a pad holder where a pad is held, or an opponent held at one moment of a strike. It is an illustration of position. It does not move, resist, react or make contact, and the clinch, catch and sweep studies show your own frame with nothing in it. No partner technique is demonstrated anywhere in the app and none should be attempted from a diagram. See the training FAQ for why.

Not motion capture, and not a real athlete

The model is built from CC0 sources and posed by hand. No athlete was recorded, no likeness is used and no gym, promoter or federation is depicted or endorsing anything. The ring corner and the pads carry no marking on purpose.

Not a record of you

There is no account, no analytics and no server. What you save stays in this browser on this device, which also means the app cannot recover it for you. Export a backup from Settings before you clear the browser or change devices.

Not finished

The curriculum has thirty-six studies and a coach's review of every one of them is still the item that matters most. Until that happens, treat the app as what it is: a way to rehearse shapes you know, keep time, plan sessions and write down what you noticed. For how to do those things, see how to use the studio.
