How to use the studio

The site has three parts: studies to look at, boards to put on a clock, and notes to keep. This is the order a first session meets them.

Open a study

The home page opens with the level change already in the viewer. Drag the picture to turn the athlete around, or use the four camera buttons under it: three-quarter, front, side and above. Each study has a recommended camera and starts there; Reset goes back to it. With the model focused, the arrow keys rotate it, plus and minus zoom, and R resets.

Step through the phases

Every action is four phases, each with a cue. Press Play to watch the loop at the pace the movement has: a sprawl falls faster than it recovers. Drag the progress slider to stop anywhere, or press a phase button to hold it. Half speed is there for the fast parts. The cue on the picture follows the loop; it can be turned off.

Read the panel

Beside the viewer is what the study is for, three faults to look for with what each looks like, the room cues, and a drill prescription of rounds, repetitions and rest. Under the phases is the honest scope note: solo, no partner, not coach-verified. On the two-figure studies the note says the position is an illustration, not a technique to copy.

Mirror it

The mirror option flips the whole scene, so a left-lead study becomes right-lead. The starting-position overlay draws a faint copy of the first phase over the current one, which is the quickest way to see how far the hips travelled. The movement path draws the route of the joint that drives the movement.

Follow the curriculum

The curriculum page puts the thirty-six studies in the order to work through: foundations, mechanics, chains, defence and recovery, conditioning, situational. The library groups them by position instead, with filters, search and favourites. Both are fine; the curriculum is the one for a beginner.

Put a board on the clock

A board is a list of blocks, each a study with a work time, a rest time and a repeat count. Twelve are provided, three of them four-week progressions with a printable sheet. Open one, change the times until they match how you practise, save it under your own name, and press Put this on the clock. The clock rings bells between blocks, shows the next cue and draws the round as a ring. Space pauses it. Switching away pauses it. Coming back resumes where it stopped.

Write a note

From the study page or the clock, Write a room note opens the journal with the study and the minutes already filled in. Write the cue that landed and the question it raised. The notes page keeps them, exports them as CSV, and counts a streak of days that only counts days with a note written.

Keep a backup

Everything lives in this browser. Settings exports a checksummed JSON file of all of it and imports one on another device. There is no account and nothing is sent anywhere, which also means nothing is backed up for you.
