Karate Dojo
Karate Dojo is a family-friendly 3D point-sparring game about restraint, spacing and timing rather than damage. Articulated athletes in white gis exchange controlled punches and kicks on a detailed tatami floor. Work through 48 seeded bouts: learn contact range, unlock long-reach kicks, read fake commitments, then choose quick or long stances in counter trials. Clean contacts reset the exchange. Stars, best scores and unlocked bouts are saved on this device. The UTC daily dojo gives everyone the same seeded opponent and awards a completion streak at most once per day.
How to play
- Hold STEP IN or STEP OUT to manage the gap. When the gold ring says IN REACH, tap STRIKE or KICK for one controlled contact.
- Wait for the opponent's GOLD commitment, then tap GUARD or SIDE STEP. Step back into range and attack during OPEN to earn a timed counter. Grey anticipation may be a fake.
- Kicks arrive in bout 5, FEINT in bout 9 and switchable QUICK/LONG stances in bout 17. Later trials require both the displayed points and timed counters. Arrow keys move; Space strikes, G defends, F feints and S switches stance.
Tips
- Do not swing from outside the ring. A clean contact is worth more than a flurry of out-of-range misses.
- A fake pulls back before the gold commitment. An early defense can still be recovering when the real attack arrives.
- Feints open an idle opponent's guard, but do not replace required timed counters. QUICK recovers faster; LONG offers extra reach and two-point kicks in later Sanbon bouts.
Questions
Is friends mode a live player-versus-player fight?
No. Friends independently face the same seeded AI in a single 60-second score race. Clean contacts, timed counters and fewer misses improve your score. The shared platform supplies the room, optional computer competitors and final podium.
Why did I reach the points target without finishing?
Counter trials also require the displayed number of timed counters. Defend after a real commitment, then land a contact before the counter window closes.
Are these official karate rules or instruction?
No. The Ippon and Sanbon labels introduce simplified original one-point and multi-point drill formats. This animated browser sport is not martial-arts coaching or an official rules simulator.
What happens if I change tabs or need a break?
The bout pauses when the page is hidden. Resume deliberately, retry the same seeded bout or return to the dojo menu. Unlocked bouts and earned stars remain saved; unfinished frame-by-frame bouts do not.
How does the daily streak work?
The daily seed changes at midnight UTC for every player. Only a completed winning daily bout advances the streak, at most once that UTC day. Replays and losses cannot add another day.
