Aikido club software, BAA-ready
Built around the British Aikido Association's grading structure, with the typical 6th Kyu through 1st Dan adult progression pre-loaded.
UK aikido has multiple lineages — Aikikai, Iwama, Yoshinkan, Tomiki, and others — each with their own slight variations on the standard kyu and dan ladder. The British Aikido Association sets out a structure most UK clubs align with, and Club Forge defaults to that.
For dojos that follow a different lineage’s conventions, every grade name and every time-in-grade requirement is editable.
BAA grades, pre-loaded
The standard BAA kyu and dan ladder is loaded by default — 6th Kyu through 1st Dan and beyond, with the typical kyu progression UK aikido dojos use.
- BAA kyu and dan ladder pre-loaded
- Editable to match Aikikai, Iwama, Yoshinkan, or other lineage conventions
- Time-in-grade tracked per member, per grade
- Configurable belt colour conventions where lineages differ
Junior grades, separately tracked
Many UK aikido dojos run junior classes with a simpler, more encouragement-focused grading structure than the adult ladder. Club Forge supports a separate junior ladder per club, configurable to whatever progression you actually use.
- Distinct junior ladder per dojo
- Custom grade names and intervals
- Clean junior-to-adult transition with full history preserved
Family-friendly billing
Most martial arts clubs run on family memberships. Two parents and a child, three siblings, a parent who started training when their kids did. Club Forge handles any composition with one bill, with each profile keeping its own rank and training history.
Check-in built for the dojo door
Kiosk mode sits by the door for PIN check-in, family check-in, and a short student portal. It auto-locks after each session — designed for shared use, not personal use.
GDPR-compliant by design
Club Forge is built for UK data law from day one. Consent versioning, retention rules, soft anonymisation, and admin data export are part of the product, not paperwork. Read about GDPR.
