ClassPacer for martial arts schools
Every requirement, from white belt to black
Seven belts with basics, kicks, forms, sparring, self-defense and knowledge. Instructors check off requirements in class, and belt tests are set, scored and celebrated in the app.
ClassPacer uses your words
A martial arts school starts with these. Change any of them on the Skill charts page.
In class and at home
Instructors tap, families see it
Instructors open their class on a phone and move each requirement from introduced to mastered. When a student has every requirement in their belt, award a certificate and move them up, or set a belt test day.
Teach a different belt order or stripes between belts? Add, rename and reorder belts to match your style.
