What Kimono brings to your Karate club

Belt and grading progression

QR-code attendance

Kata and kumite level tracking

Online billing and payments

Manage your Karate members

Centralize each karateka's record: current grade, last promotion date, attendance count, medical certificate, parental consent for minors. Adult, teen and baby-karate groups stay separate so levels don't mix. Your sensei see at a glance who's ready for the next shiai.

Organize classes and schedules

Build your kihon, kata, kumite and self-defense classes with their recurring slots. Members register online, you manage capacity and announce special seminars (grading prep, koshukai). Trial classes are public-link based, ready to share on Instagram or Facebook.

Track attendance

Check-in takes three seconds: your senpai scans student QR codes on a phone at the start of class. Per-karateka attendance history is instantly available — essential to validate eligibility for grading and to provide federation paperwork.

Track belts (kyu and dan)

From 9th kyu (white) to 10th dan, log each promotion with date, examiner and technical notes. Kimono shortlists candidates ready for the next exam based on your criteria: minimum seniority, attendance count, kata mastered. No more spreadsheet to maintain.

Streamline the admin

Memberships, annual dues, term passes, installments — everything is collected online via Stripe. Payment receipts and practice certificates are generated automatically. Email your karatekas about gradings, dojo closures or seminars, with targeted lists per group.

Why choose Kimono for your Karate club

Kimono was built with traditional martial arts clubs, so it speaks your language: kyu, dan, kata, kumite, sensei. Start free up to 50 members, no credit card, and your data stays yours. See our features or pricing.
