Martial Arts Instructor Skill — Generates N-grid martial arts storyboard posters and video prompts in one sentence, covering martial arts, fighting, cultivation, opera, mecha, and other genres

About this skill

Recently, I created an AI martial arts instructor skill called martial-arts-director-cy, so I’d like to share it.

The reason is that more and more AI creators are working on martial arts themes, but most of the output is still amateurs: staggered action without rhythm, 16 characters changing faces per panel, and half of the moves automatically omitted by AI during video generation. There’s also a hidden issue of compliance: making mechas, superheroes, and classic wuxia often leads to IP pitfalls, with platforms at best limited in traffic or at worst taken down.

The working method of skill is simple: one sentence requires input, two prompt paragraphs appear. One is an image prompt (4×4 = 16-panel storyboard), and one is a video prompt (15 seconds, using images as reference).

It includes over thirty authentic move corpora for martial arts, combat, weapons, cultivation, and opera, more than a dozen camera language and rhythm features from film and TV martial arts directors, a set of dramatic beats for “initiation, conflict, resolution, entanglement, subdue, and conclusion,” industrial-grade movement arrows and camera label icons, and an i2v protocol that ensures tight video and key moves never miss the shot.

There are two layers of compliance treatment. The first layer automatically avoids specific IP character names (no real names, anime character names, or movie protagonist names), using generic visual keywords to replicate that feeling, resulting in images “like those classic works but not any specific IP.” The first layer is automatic softening of violent descriptions, using standard action vocabulary (shock repelling, removal, sparks flying) instead of bloody terms, ensuring no platform is a landmine.

Installation

Trigger Keywords

“Martial Arts Direction”, “Martial Arts Breakdown Poster”, “Martial Arts Storyboard”, “Move Breakdown”, “N-Grid Martial Arts Moves”, “Martial Arts Routine Poster”, “Martial Arts Choreography Poster”.

It is also suitable for rewriting existing dance/movement breakdown poster prompts into a martial arts version.

Workflow (5 Steps)

1. Information Collection — Collect fields such as characters, martial arts systems, styles, costumes, scenes, palace grid specifications, weapons, and film references through tables
2. Move Arrangement — Based on grid specifications + martial arts system + whether you bring weapons, select the corresponding skeleton and make substantial customization according to the “dynamic generation principle.”
3. Assemble Multi-Grid Poster Prompts — Output Chinese prompts that can be fed directly to drawing tools (700-1050 characters)
4. Generate Video Prompts — Output a 15-second video prompt (600-800 characters), including the “Reference Image Reading Protocol” + “Storyboard Execution List”
5. Compliance Self-Check — Automatically review IP pitfalls, violent descriptions, and platform neutrality

Real Cases

Here are 7 real cases, each created by a single prompt.

Tai Chi Grandmaster vs. Foreign Boxing Master

The black-clad boxer sat down and stared at the white-robed master, annotating six words: “Defeat breeds respect; the heart is already broken.”

Many people think that when AI builds martial arts storyboards, at most it’s “punch one, kick two, defense three.” When making this skill, I deliberately stuffed in something: the philosophy of the style.
