## Description

Movements Karate is an innovative Chrome extension designed for practitioners and enthusiasts of Shotokan Karate. It offers a comprehensive interactive database of over 160 motion-captured karate techniques, rendered in 3D, allowing users to view, slow down, and rotate animations for detailed study across all belt levels—from white to black. The extension acts as a virtual Karate sensei, supporting character development alongside physical training.

Additional features enrich the training experience, including a habit tracker to build muscle memory, a competition scoring app for kumite and kata, augmented reality to bring virtual masters into your environment, and an evolving library of games and guided visualizations that enhance mental and physical coordination. Customizable characters and environments add personalization, with in-app points enabling users to unlock premium content without a subscription. Movements Karate is a robust, free-to-try tool that complements dojo practice and supports Karate training anytime, anywhere.
