The "Sensei Scientist" Introduction

What if your phone or webcam could help you see movement the way a lab does?

The “Sensei Scientist” Introduction is a practical, beginner-friendly course that bridges martial arts, sports coaching, and biomechanics science using simple AI-powered, browser-based tools. You do not need expensive motion-capture suits, coding skills, or advanced math. All you need is a camera, a small space to move, and curiosity.

This course introduces a new mindset: the Sensei Scientist — someone who combines experience, intuition, and measurable feedback. Instead of relying only on the naked eye, you will learn how to film, measure, adjust, and repeat to improve technique, balance, and overall movement quality.

You will explore how AI computer vision can help you observe:

• Joint angles and alignment

• Balance and weight shifting

• Symmetry and coordination

• Timing and movement patterns

• Early signs of risky form that may lead to injury

The examples often use martial arts techniques, but the ideas apply to any sport, fitness activity, or rehabilitation exercise. Basketball shooting, soccer kicks, strength training form, posture work, and recovery exercises all follow the same universal principles of physics and biomechanics.

Throughout the course, you will be guided through:

• Real-time camera feedback using simple web apps

• Offline video analysis and frame-by-frame review

• Practical camera setup tips for better tracking accuracy

• Basic biomechanics concepts explained in plain language

• A repeatable improvement loop you can use for life

This is not a deep mathematical or medical course. It is a hands-on introduction designed to give you tools and awareness, not perfect scores. AI acts as a force multiplier, not a replacement for coaches, therapists, or personal judgment.

By the end, you will have a clear framework for turning everyday devices into a personal movement lab and a new way of thinking about performance, safety, and continuous improvement.

Whether you are a martial artist, coach, student, rehab professional, or simply someone who wants to move better, this course gives you a practical starting point to become your own Sensei Scientist.
