Every program, belt and promotion rule, the way your academy runs them.
Separate belt catalogs, curricula, belt tests and promotion logic for each program, lesson plans and videos your students can see, and a promotion day you can run in one sitting.
Programs
One academy, many programs.
Each program has its own belt catalog, curriculum, belt test requirements and promotion logic. Sub-programs, for example Little Warriors or Mini Grapplers inside Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, group classes and students and share the parent program's setup.
- A student can hold a belt in every program they train
- Copy a setup from one program to another instead of starting over
- Programs without belts work too
Belt catalog
Your belt catalog, in your order.
Set up every belt you award, in the order you award it, separately for adults and kids.
- Belts and their colors
- The number and color of stripes per belt
- Adults and Kids divisions
- An archive for belts you no longer award
Curriculum
A curriculum your students can see.
Build the syllabus as sections and positions for each program and division. Add as many sections and positions as your syllabus needs; every program has its own. Coaches mark each position Excelling, Needs Work or Not Assessed and leave notes.
- Students see their progress in the portal
- Students add their own notes
- An email when a coach leaves a note or rating
Belt tests
Belt tests you define.
For every belt and division, list the categories and techniques a student must demonstrate. A kids white belt test, for example, might cover Escapes, Takedowns, Guard and Submissions.
- Categories and techniques for every belt and division
- Copy tests between programs
Promotions
Promotion rules that do the counting.
Set the classes and time at rank required for each stripe and belt, choose which class types count, and show students how many classes and how much time remain until their next promotion. Promotion Alerts flag every student who qualifies each night.
On promotion day
Open the Promotions page under Attendance, select everyone who is ready, and release the promotions now or at a scheduled time such as your belt ceremony, with undo if you need it. Every promotion is recorded in the student's promotion history.
Lesson plans
Lesson plans students actually see.
Plan any class date from the class itself: the topic, the curriculum position it covers, and prep notes only coaches see.
- Students see the plan on their Lesson Plans page
- It also appears under Today's classes on their portal Overview
