ShadowFighter

Audio Shadowboxing drills for different martial arts.

This program will use MacOS's speech command to call out random lines from a text file that you can use to drill different martial arts strikes/blocks.

It's designed to be customizable: Simply tweak the provided text files or add your own.

Requirements

Currently requires a Mac and the free say command-line utility.

Usage

$ ./shadowfighter [flags] < [drills/file.txt]

There are some example drills included in the drills/ folder. You can use them, copy them to .txt files:

$ cd drills/
$ cp boxing.txt.example boxing.txt

This is because they're .txt files are gitignored, so when you create your own, you won't accidentally commit them.

If you want to change the source code, edit it, then rebuild the shadowfighter binary with:

$ go build -o shadowfighter cmd/shadowfighter/main.go

Flags:

-combo
    Sometimes do combinations
-delay duration
    Delay seconds. (default 2s)
-jab
    Always jab first. Great for boxing
-speed
    Voice speed. (default "300")
-voice string
    Voice (default "Alex")
-wildcard
    Sometimes finish with whatever move you want

If you don't specify a filename, it will read from STDIN so you can dynamically input commands instead. For example, if you wanted to just create a random workout:

$ ./shadowfighter
jump
squat
lunge
^D

That last line ^D means type Ctrl+D on your keyboard to specify you're done inputting commands.

There are some default files to get you started. Feel free to edit them how you like on your machine:

• Boxing:

  ./shadowfighter -jab -combo < drills/boxing.txt

• Muay Thai:

  ./shadowfighter -delay=3s -combo -wildcard < drills/thai-boxing.txt

  For wildcard it will say "anything" last. So do whatever you want (e.g. Spinning Back Fist).

• FMA (Filipino Martial Arts, such as Kali/Arnis/Eskrima):

  ./shadowfighter -combo < drills/fma.txt

  Calls out angles of attack 1-7. Add more if you want.

  Tip: Alternatively think of blocking against those angles coming at you.

• Tai Chi:

  ./shadowfighter -delay=7s --speed=200 -voice=Victoria < drills/taichi.txt
