A shadowboxing trainer you play with your body. Stand in front of the camera, and the game reads your pose in real time: six distinct punches — jab, cross, lead and rear hook, lead and rear uppercut — plus slips, ducks, weaves and blocks, with a calibration wizard that measures your own reach so the classifier knows a hook from an uppercut on you specifically.

Fight a six-opponent career from Marshmallow Mike upward, each with their own patterns, telegraphs and weaknesses; some cannot be hurt the way the last one could. Rounds have a bell, stamina, knockdowns and a get-up you have to perform, a coach in your corner between rounds, and scoring that reflects what actually landed.

The camera is the controller, and the video never leaves your device. There are no accounts and no sign-in. Pose tracking runs entirely inside your browser; no image or video is ever uploaded. The privacy page sets out exactly what happens to the camera feed and which third-party servers the tracking model is downloaded from.
