What Kimono brings to your Aikido club

Kyu and dan grade tracking

Per-practitioner attendance history

Seminar and event management

Dedicated portal for each aikidoka

Manage your Aikido members

Each aikidoka has a record: current grade (kyu or dan), aikido passport, practice seniority, home dojo, primary sensei. Adult, teen, beginner and technical-keiko groups stay separate. Medical certificates and waivers live in one place.

Organize classes and schedules

Schedule regular classes, technical keikos, seminars with a visiting shihan and instructor training. Practitioners register online and receive reminders. For seminars, each participant can pay individually, simplifying ticketing.

Track attendance

Manual check-in by the sensei or QR code at the door, your call. Attendance stats per practitioner are essential to validate seniority before kyu or dan grading — a strong requirement at most aikido federations.

Track kyu and dan

From 6th kyu to 8th dan, log each promotion with date, jury and notes. Kimono prints lists of aikidokas ready for the next exam per your criteria (minimum attendance, seniority, techniques mastered). Grade certificates print in one click.

Streamline the admin

Annual dues, federation licenses, seminar fees — collect online via Stripe with one-time or installment payments. Receipts and certificates auto-generated. Email targeted segments about seminars, dojo closures or gradings.
