Punches, kicks, knees and elbows read through one striking analysis.

In your pocket

## 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 Muay Thai?**

It will not hold Thai pads or replace your kru. What it gives you is the film review most fighters never get: a clear read on your sparring, from the teep to the clinch entry, and one habit to work on, so your gym time goes further.

**Does DARCE score my rounds like a judge?**

No. It is not a judge and keeps no scorecard or points total. It reads the exchanges in your sparring: what landed, what got checked and the habit to fix.

**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.

**What does it cost?**

Founding testers get free access through the beta. Pricing comes later, and early testers will have a say in it.
