Manage your Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu members

Each practitioner has a record: current belt, stripes (degrees), seniority, head professor (lineage), affiliation, competitor or recreational status. Adult, kids, teens, fight team and women-only groups operate independently with their own pricing and slots.

Organize classes and schedules

Schedule fundamentals, advanced, gi, no-gi, open mat, sparring and competitor classes. Each slot has capacity, target audience (e.g. by belt) and prerequisites. The free trial-class public link is shareable on Instagram with photo and description.

Track attendance

QR check-in is fast at the mat entrance: 30 practitioners checked in within a minute. Per-jiujiteiro attendance stats inform your promotion decisions and stripe (degree) ceremonies. Your professors see at a glance who's training seriously.

Track belts

From white to black, track each belt with stripes, promotion date and the professor who awarded the belt. Kimono lists candidates by your criteria (attendance, seniority, technique). Transparency reassures students and limits frustration around promotions.

Streamline the admin

Class passes, monthly and annual subscriptions with installments, camp fees, seminar fees with a faixa-preta guest — all collected online via Stripe. Auto receipts. Email practitioners about competitions and closures.
