Ways to use a karate sound effect

Make the board break hit on the frame

A board break on the exact frame the hand goes through gives a demonstration its payoff, in a short film, a game or a training video.

Keep a training montage going with no music

Gi sleeve snaps carry a long run of practice cuts, keeping a fitness video, an animation or a podcast clip focused and crisp.

FAQs

What is a karate sound effect?
Karate sounds are the real sounds of practice: a heavy cotton uniform snapping on a punch, kicks on pads, boards breaking and bodies hitting the mat. They are crisp and physical, which suits training scenes and grounded fights.
Where can I get karate sounds for a video?
With one short description Morphic generates karate sounds, so there is no need to dig through stock fight packs for a believable hit. Every sound on this page was made from the prompt printed beside it, so you can start from one and adjust it.
How do I make a custom karate sound effect?
Note down the move, what it lands on and how hard. A prompt like "a fast roundhouse kick landing twice on a thick foam kick pad, two deep loud slaps with a sharp crack" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until it fits.
What is the difference between karate and kung fu sounds?
Here the karate sounds are real training sounds: uniform snaps, pad kicks, board breaks and mat falls. Kung fu film sounds are exaggerated for the screen, with bright cracks and whooshes on every move. Pick the style your fight is shot in.
Can I use these karate sounds commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Because each sound is generated for you, you also avoid the clip turning up in someone else's video.
Why does my karate sound not sit right in the edit?
A hit landing a frame early or late is the most common issue, or a snap too big for a light move. Put each impact on the contact frame, keep sleeve snaps for full extensions only, and match the loudness of each hit to how hard it looks.
