Software for judo clubs

Senior and junior grades, side by side

Judo clubs usually run two grading schemes at once: kyu and dan grades for seniors, and a junior scheme with its own steps between colours. Many junior schemes — such as British Judo’s mon grades — mark progress with tabs on the belt.

FightKit lets you set up both, side by side. Set your senior grades in your association’s order and colours, and set up your junior scheme as its own grading system, with the tabs between colours shown as stripes. Every player’s grade shows exactly as they wear it.

Gradings without the paperwork

FightKit lets you set the time and number of sessions each grade takes, and shows every player’s progress towards their next one — so you can see who’s ready before you plan a grading.

On the day, bring players together in a grading session, assess them against the throws, holds and breakfalls for their next grade, and send each one their grading notes afterwards.

Sessions wherever you train

Many judo clubs train in more than one place — a school hall one night, a leisure centre the next. Add every venue you use, set up your sessions once, and mark attendance in seconds wherever you are. Every session counts towards each player’s next grade.

From first session to member

Most new players start with a trial session. FightKit takes them from enquiry to paying member:

• Trial booking forms on your website, so parents and adults can book a session themselves
• Two-way email conversations — every email with a newcomer shows up in one thread
• Automated follow-ups when someone books a trial, or doesn’t turn up
• Pre-filled registration links — their details are already in, so they just pick a membership and pay

Memberships and payments

Create memberships for juniors and seniors, and take payments automatically with Stripe — or record cash and bank transfers. Members can manage their membership and billing in the FightKit app for iPhone and Android.
