Belt progression
Set your own belt and stripe requirements, and see who's ready for their next one.
Why it matters. Promotions often live in a coach's memory or on paper. People get missed, and students lose motivation.
How it works
- For each belt, set the minimum classes and months to the next belt, the classes and months per stripe, and how many stripes.
- A new academy starts with IBJJF-based minimums for adult belts (white to black) and kids belts. Change any of them to suit your academy.
- Combat Control counts classes and months at the current belt, leaves out time spent on an approved injury freeze, and shows who has met the requirements for a belt or a stripe.
- The promotions page lists who's ready for a belt and who's ready for a stripe, shows exactly where each person stands, and lists recent promotions, with each student's full belt history kept on their profile.
- You decide every promotion. Each one is recorded with who awarded it and when, and the student gets a congratulations message.
Who uses it
- Owner or head coach. Sees who's ready, awards belts and stripes, and keeps the full history.
- Students. See their own progress toward the next stripe and belt in the app.
Questions
Can I set my own requirements instead of IBJJF ones?
Yes. The IBJJF numbers are only a starting point. Every minimum for every belt and stripe can be changed for your academy.
Does time off injured count against belt time?
No. Days on an approved injury freeze aren't counted, so nobody is held back for being injured.
