Jujitsu club software, Jitsu Foundation ready
Built around the Jitsu Foundation's grading structure — including the Mon tabs at 7th and 6th Kyu that no generic club software handles correctly.
Jujitsu (also spelled Ju-Jitsu and Jiu-Jitsu, depending on where you trained) has a specific UK convention: the Jitsu Foundation’s grading ladder, with Mon tabs sitting between full kyu grades at 7th and 6th Kyu. Most generic club software either ignores Mon tabs entirely or forces them in as full promotions, which gets the timing wrong on every grading.
Club Forge handles the Jitsu Foundation structure correctly — including those Mon tabs — out of the box.
A note on naming: Club Forge is built around traditional Japanese jujitsu as taught under the Jitsu Foundation. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) clubs can use the configurable mode to set up their own belt structure, but the defaults here are the TJF ladder.
Jitsu Foundation grades, pre-loaded
The Jitsu Foundation kyu and dan ladder loads by default. Mon tabs are recognised as their own grade type — neither a full kyu nor a missing step.
- Full Jitsu Foundation kyu/dan ladder pre-loaded
- Mon tabs handled as discrete grades at 7th and 6th Kyu
- Time-in-grade tracked separately for Mon tabs and full kyu grades
- Editable for clubs aligned with other UK lineages
Junior grades, traditional structure
Most TJF-aligned dojos run a junior programme with its own progression — typically a slower, more structured ladder than the adult one. Club Forge supports a separate junior ladder per club, configurable to the dojo’s actual conventions.
- Separate junior ladder, configurable per dojo
- Junior-to-adult transition handled cleanly when members age up
- Full progression history preserved across the transition
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.
