It records each student's check-in at every class and builds an attendance history on their profile. Schools use it to see who is coming, who has stopped, and how close each student is to their belt requirement. 1club offers both front desk and self-service kiosk check-in.
Martial Arts Attendance Tracking
Martial Arts Attendance Tracking Software
Spot drop-off early and know who's ready to grade. Students check in at the kiosk app, and every class counts toward the next belt.
Two ways to check students in
Every check-in lands on the student's profile automatically, with no double entry.
- 01
Front desk check-in: staff check students in from the front desk app. The class is added to the student's profile automatically.
- 02
Self-service kiosk check-in: set up the kiosk app at your front desk and let students check themselves in. Your team can greet people and start class instead of managing a sign-in sheet. No lost cards, no paper sign-in sheets to read back later.
- 03
Check in by name: students type their name to find their profile.
- 04
Check in by PIN: Every student has a personal PIN.
- 05
Check in by QR code: every student has a personal QR code in their profile, in the member portal or mobile app. They scan it at the kiosk and the class is logged on their profile.
Attendance that counts toward the next belt
Set how many classes a student needs before grading. 1club counts every check-in toward that requirement, so you can see who is ready to test and who is still short, without a spreadsheet or a clipboard. Attendance, belts and family accounts live in one system, so nothing has to be copied between tools. Whether you teach BJJ, karate, taekwondo or another belt-based art, you set the class count for each belt.
- 01
Requirement progress sits on each student's profile, next to their current belt.
- 02
See who has met the class count and is ready to grade.
- 03
Parents follow their child's progress through family accounts.
Attendance is the earliest sign that a student is about to leave
Students often stop coming before they cancel. In a study of first-year gym members, about half had lost their attendance streak by week six, and only 20% still held it at week 17. With attendance history on every profile, you can reach out while a student is still coming, not after they have gone.
- 01
Smart tags flag students who haven't visited in a set number of days, so you know exactly who to contact. Run several tags at once, each with its own number of days. On the Grow plan, a smart tag can also trigger a message automatically with marketing automation, so a student who goes quiet hears from you without anyone having to remember.
