Detroit martial arts AI coach
Detroit, Michigan, was incorporated as a city in 1815 and grew into the heart of American auto manufacturing. Today, parts of the city face access gaps to structured sports for adults and families. DOJUKU SHINGI provides an AI martial arts coach that works at home, in a community center, or in a park, with no need for a nearby dojo. Sensei DIADI guides karate, kung-fu, judo, taekwondo, aikido, MMA, and capoeira sessions, each twenty minutes long. The app costs 2 US dollars per month after a 7-day free trial, with no annual plan and no premium tier. The mission behind the product, set by ONLYMORE Group, is full reinvestment of profits into financial inclusion.
City context
Detroit is the largest city in Michigan. Incorporated in 1815, it became the global center of car manufacturing during the twentieth century, home of the Big Three (Ford, General Motors, Chrysler). Its industrial trajectory shaped the term Rust Belt. The city still carries a strong working-class identity and a deep musical heritage (Motown, founded by Berry Gordy in 1959).
Why we focus on Detroit
Three factors converge in Detroit and make our offer particularly useful:
- Significant geographic dispersion across neighborhoods, which makes access to structured sport difficult for many families without a car.
- A constrained household budget for a non-trivial share of residents, which makes a 2 dollar per month subscription credible where a club fee may not be.
- A strong heritage of physical discipline (boxing, judo, karate all have long histories in the city) which means martial arts are not a foreign concept but a familiar tradition.
How the AI coach works in Detroit
Open the app, pick a discipline, declare your level. Sensei DIADI opens the session with a short note in English. The session runs twenty minutes: warm-up, kihon or shadow drills, kata or combinations. You can record a single execution and receive three gauges (precision, timing, power) plus a written comment. The comment is short, structured in three parts: one strength to keep, one correction to focus on, one remediation exercise for next time.
Cost and trial
2 US dollars per month after a 7-day free trial. No annual plan, no premium tier. Card payment via Stripe. We do not lock you in; cancellation is one click in the app. The pricing rule is global across DOJUKU SHINGI and is the same in every country.
When a club is accessible
We recommend joining a club whenever possible. Detroit has a long list of dojos and martial arts clubs across its districts. The app is meant as a complement, not a substitute. When you train at a club, our role is to support practice between sessions and to keep your technique tight in the days off the mat.
Our mission
100% of profits across ONLYMORE Group (the parent company of DOJUKU SHINGI) go to financial inclusion. The founder, Florent Gibert, leads the group from France. The why behind the company is simple: people should be able to live and thrive where they grew up, without having to leave the neighborhood to access serious martial arts practice.
