Judo club software, with BJA grades built in
Built around the British Judo Association's grading structure — including the full 18-Mon junior ladder, ready to use the moment your club is set up.
UK judo runs on a specific structure: the British Judo Association kyu and dan grades for adults, and the 18-Mon junior ladder for members under 16. Most generic club software doesn’t handle either properly — Mon grades get squeezed into a flat “belt” list, and the BJA’s structure has to be rebuilt manually.
Club Forge has the BJA’s ladder pre-loaded. You don’t configure it; it’s already there.
BJA grades, ready to go
The British Judo Association adult kyu and dan structure is loaded by default. The grades, the names, and the standard time-in-grade expectations are all there from the start.
- Full BJA kyu and dan ladder pre-loaded
- Each grade tracks time-in-grade and last-promoted dates automatically
- Editable per club for those who deviate from the standard progression
The full 18-Mon junior ladder
The BJA Mon structure runs from Mon 1 (just starting out) through Mon 18 (ready to move into the adult kyu ladder). It’s specific, it’s detailed, and it’s critical for tracking junior progress accurately. Club Forge supports the full ladder, with each Mon as a discrete grade.
- All 18 Mon grades pre-loaded as separate ranks
- Time-in-Mon tracked individually per member
- Clean transition from Mon 18 to the adult kyu ladder when a junior ages up
- Junior history preserved alongside adult progression — no data loss on the move
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.
