In the app · results and progress
01
Vertical jump
The explosiveness of your legs. The app sees how long you stay in the air and calculates your jump height, in centimeters.
02
Reaction + punch
At the signal, you punch. The app measures your reaction time and your punch time, in milliseconds.
03
Kicks in 10 s
How many kicks you throw in 10 seconds. The app counts them by itself.
How does the app measure?
The camera tracks your body, frame by frame, on the phone itself. For the jump, it measures flight time and uses the contact mat formula: height = g × t² ÷ 8. The footage never leaves your phone: only the result is saved.

But…
Is this for me?
“I’m not a competitive athlete.”
You don’t need to be a professional athlete to train like one. The method is for any karateka, beginner or advanced: the goal is to make you faster, stronger and more explosive, whether you compete or not.
“I don’t have any equipment.”
You train at the dojo or the gym with minimal equipment, such as a box, dumbbells or a resistance band. Tell the app what you have and it picks the exercises.
“I’m too old for this.”
It’s never too late to improve. The plan respects your level and your age, with safe, progressive training.

“Thanks to him, I’ve regained the excitement to train, keep learning, and compete again!! For me, one of the best—if not the best—courses I’ve ever taken in all my years in the world of Karate!! Everything is 100% scientifically proven!!”
“The perfect course. This is exactly what I was looking for. A few years ago, I was part of the Spanish National Team, and I’m sure my results would have been even better if I had had access to this knowledge.”
“I’m very happy with the results of my competitors, especially the cadets, as they’ve gained strength and speed. The results in this first part of the season have been excellent!!!!”

Are the camera tests accurate?
They’re for comparing yourself with yourself over time. Always do the tests in the same place, with the same phone, and with the phone firmly supported. The app warns you if the camera is too slow to measure properly.

No. You join with the dojo code and the app is included in your dojo’s plan.
