AI Boxing Coach
DARCE is an AI app to analyze sparring video. Upload a round from your phone and it reads your technique and footwork, from punch selection to defense, then gives you a coach’s breakdown and the one habit to drill next.
From sparring footage to your next fix.
- 01
Film
Record a sparring round on your phone, or pick one already on it. One video upload from a single fixed angle is enough: no rig, no markers, no sensors.

Breakdown

Weakest: telegraphed cross

It hands you the one fix to drill next, tied to the moment it happened, before your next session.

Key facts about DARCE
- DARCE analyses a filmed round of live sparring, read position by position across the whole round, in BJJ, wrestling, striking and MMA, and the same four analyses read sparring in Muay Thai, kickboxing, judo, sambo, no-gi grappling and other martial arts.
- The analysis is not limited to a technique list: it names what happens in the round from a vocabulary of 260+ positions, moves and finishes across the four martial arts, while the 90+ technique library is a separate step-by-step reference you can read free on darce.app.
- A DARCE breakdown has four parts: a round summary of who controlled the round and where it turned, a position timeline mapped to the second, the key moments that decided it, and up to 3 fixes, each tied to the moment it happened with one line on why.
- A breakdown is usually ready one to two minutes after the upload finishes.
- Film on your phone from a single fixed angle, in landscape, at about chest height for stand-up and higher, angled down, for rolling; no rig, sensors or markers are needed, and a round of up to 2 minutes can be analysed.
- DARCE is a mobile app for iOS and Android with no web or desktop version; it is in private beta, onboarding the first 50 founding testers from the waitlist at darce.app/join, and is not yet publicly downloadable.
- DARCE is free for founding testers during the beta, and pricing after the beta has not been announced.
Questions before you start.
Can an AI really coach boxing?
It will not hold pads or replace your trainer. What it gives you is the film review most amateurs never get: a clear read on every sparring round and one habit to work on, so your gym time goes further.
What footage do I need?
Just your phone. A single fixed angle of a live sparring round is enough. No rig, no sensors, no markers.
When can I use it?
DARCE is in private beta and we are onboarding 50 founding testers first. Join the waitlist and you will get the launch email the moment it opens.
What does it cost?
Founding testers get free access through the beta. Pricing comes later, and early testers will have a say in it.
