Progress Tracking
Stripes, levels and personal bests — on the record.
Progress tracking in DojoBeacon records belts, stripes, grades, levels and milestones on each member's profile, alongside their attendance. Progress is what members stay for, yet it is usually the worst-kept record in the building — a paper grading card, a coach's memory, a spreadsheet from last year. Kept on the profile, recognition is timely, consistent and easy to evidence.
How it works in practice
How is progress recorded?
For martial arts, the structure follows your discipline: belts and stripes in BJJ, grades in judo and karate, levels in taekwondo and Muay Thai programmes. Coaches record assessments and notes as they go, and a student's promotion history builds into a timeline that any instructor can pick up — including the context of what was worked on and what comes next.
For gyms, the same timeline holds a different shape of progress: programme levels completed, milestones reached, PT block reviews and the goals agreed with a coach. A member returning after a break does not start from a blank page, and a new trainer can see exactly where the work had got to — because it all sits on the same member record as their membership and payments.
Because attendance feeds the same record, readiness stops being a feeling. A grading list or a programme review can be built from sessions actually attended and milestones actually recorded — which is fairer to the member who has quietly put the work in, and easier to explain to the one who has not yet.
What's included
Progression, kept properly
- Discipline-shaped structures. belts and stripes where they apply; grades, levels or programme milestones where they do not. The platform adapts to your discipline rather than forcing one model.
- Promotion and assessment history. gradings, promotions and reviews recorded with dates and coach notes on the member's timeline.
- Attendance-aware readiness. sessions attended sit beside milestones, so eligibility conversations rest on evidence.
- PT programme progress. goals, block reviews and milestones for one-to-one clients, kept with the rest of their record.
- Notes that stay with the member. coaching observations recorded once, visible to the team — not lost when a coach is away.
Common questions
Questions about progress tracking
Which progression systems does DojoBeacon support?
The structure follows your discipline: belts and stripes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, grades in Judo and Karate, and levels in Taekwondo and Muay Thai programmes. For gyms, the same timeline holds programme levels, milestones and personal training progress.
How do coaches record progress?
Coaches record assessments, promotions and notes as they go, directly on the member's profile. The promotion history builds into a timeline any instructor can pick up — including what was worked on and what comes next for that member.
Does attendance affect grading decisions?
It can, because attendance sits on the same record. A grading list or programme review can be built from sessions actually attended and milestones actually recorded, which is fairer to the member who has put the work in — and easier to explain to everyone involved.
