Run gradings, attendance, fees and safeguarding from one place, so the sensei spends less time on paperwork and more time teaching. Everything about your dojo, and every karateka in it, in one system.
Purpose-built for karate dojos, from kids classes to dan grades.
From the first enquiry to dan grade, BeltRise holds the moving parts of a karate club together so you spend less time on admin and more time on the mat.
Keep a clear profile for each student with their kyu or dan grade, contact and parent details and training history, all in one searchable place instead of scattered spreadsheets.
Get a public page for your club with class times and an enquiry form built in. New leads land straight in BeltRise, so a parent asking about kids classes becomes a follow up you can actually track.
Build courses with video lessons and quizzes on kata, kihon and dojo etiquette. Students revise terminology and technique at home, and you see who has done the work.
If you teach across more than one hall or town, manage all of them under a single account. Compare sites, move members and see the whole organisation without logging in and out.
Post updates, gradings and events to a members only club feed, and message individual students or parents directly. No public group chats, everything stays inside the dojo.
See attendance week by week, how full each class is and how many new members joined this month. Clear numbers on the health of your club in one view instead of a gut feeling.
Import members from a spreadsheet, with grades mapped to your belt system automatically.
Start from a built-in syllabus or your own, and tune grading requirements per grade.
Give students and parents portal access. Take your first register the same night.
Most software treats every club the same. BeltRise understands kyu and dan grades, shinsa cycles, licence books and the junior parents you answer to.
BeltRise measures each karateka against your own syllabus and training-hour requirements, so you can see who has met time-in-grade and earned your recommendation for their next kyu or dan grade. Run shinsa and issue new obi without a spreadsheet.
Take the register in seconds across juniors, cadets and adults while you are teaching. Hours accumulate on their own and unlock grading eligibility automatically, so you never hand-count attendance before a shinsa again.
Handle recurring memberships, family and sibling discounts, drop-ins and one-off grading and competition fees in one place. BeltRise shows who has lapsed and sends the reminder, so you skip the awkward conversation on the floor.
Track DBS and PVG checks with expiry reminders, store medical conditions and parental consent for junior karateka, and keep sensitive records staff-only. Nothing valid slips out of date, nothing gets lost in a folder.
Dashboards flag the students who have quietly stopped attending, the familiar drop-off after white and yellow belt and through the teenage years. BeltRise AI even drafts the come-back message for you to send.
Parents get grading dates, fees, the class schedule and their child's progress in the app, alongside a private club feed and direct messaging. No more drowning in individual WhatsApp and text threads.
Ask BeltRise anything about your club in plain English, and let it handle the quiet, easy to forget jobs that keep a dojo running.
No menus to learn. Ask who owes fees, who has not trained this month or which belt is due, and get a straight answer drawn from your own club data.
Each morning BeltRise names the one thing worth doing, from an unanswered enquiry to an event that still needs numbers, so nothing important slips through.
Karateka get a coach that points them to the next kata, drill or quiz to work on, keeping progress moving between classes.
Ask for a class cancellation notice, an event reminder or a welcome note for a new starter, and BeltRise writes a first version in your voice, ready for you to check and send.
Much of the dojo is children, so safeguarding is built in, not bolted on. Consent, medical notes and parent details are held securely, and role based access means instructors only see what they need to.
Safeguarding and background checks, DBS and PVG for UK clubsSafeSport in the US, DBS and PVG in the UK, with expiry reminders, plus photo and medical consent, first-aid consent and authorised collectors, kept on each member's record.
Medical and safeguarding details are staff-only, never shown to other members. A child's consent can only be set by a parent, guardian or your staff.
Member photos are stored privately and only appear where photo consent has been recorded, so an image is never shown without permission.
strong data protection, a privacy notice you can read any time, export everything whenever you want, and no lock-in.
BeltRise is built for martial arts, not adapted from a generic gym tool, and shaped by working closely with instructors and club owners. If something doesn't fit how your club runs, we want to hear it and put it right.
Years of teaching hold lessons worth passing on. Whatever your art, karate, jiu-jitsu, taekwondo, judo, Muay Thai and more, take a few quiet minutes to set down your journey and your wisdom, for the students who come after you. It's yours to keep or to share.
Yes. BeltRise reads each student against your syllabus, their accumulated training hours and time-in-grade, then shows who is eligible and ready for their next shinsa. You keep the sensei's recommendation in your hands, and the instructor-controlled grading workflow handles new obi and licence endorsements once they pass. This is proper belt and kyu grade tracking, not a generic tick box.
Yes. BeltRise handles recurring memberships and direct debits, family and sibling discounts, pay-as-you-go drop-ins and one-off charges like grading and shiai entry fees. It shows exactly who has paid and who is behind, and sends reminders when a fee or licence is due. That is the awkward chasing done for you without a face-to-face on the floor.
Yes. The fast register is built for a busy sensei, so you can mark juniors, cadets and adults in seconds. Hours accumulate automatically and feed straight into grading eligibility, so when shinsa comes round the training-hour evidence is already there. It works as a simple attendance app for your karate dojo across every class you run.
Yes. BeltRise tracks licence book renewals, DBS and PVG background checks and photo and medical consent, with expiry reminders before anything lapses. Medical conditions and safeguarding records are kept staff-only through role-based access. It is a straightforward way to manage karate club parental consent and licences across every member and instructor.
Yes. You can run several classes and age groups, and the multi-location HQ lets you oversee more than one dojo under one head office with a shared starting syllabus and read-only oversight. Each dojo keeps its own roster and gradings. It suits anyone running a karate club with multiple classes or growing beyond a single site.
Yes. Dashboards surface who is drifting, and a daily briefing from BeltRise AI names the one student to reach out to today. The re-engagement drafter writes a come-back message for you to review and send. It targets the classic drop-off points, after white and yellow belt and through the teenage years, before a cancellation lands.
Yes. The parent and student portal shows progress, the class schedule, the kata and combinations to practise next, achievement badges and a training diary. Parents pay fees online and get grading dates, competition entries, closures and event updates through the club feed and direct messaging. Your dojo also gets its own public website with an enquiry form that drops new leads straight into BeltRise.
