Take the register mat-side and track belts — for martial arts instructors

You teach in bare feet with no pockets and twenty students bowing onto the mat. The last thing you want is a paper register that you fill in afterwards from memory, or a laptop you have to walk off the mat to reach. ClassWolf lets you run the class from your phone, mark who showed up while it is still fresh, and keep each student's belt progress where you can actually use it.

Your class right now#

Students arrive, you start warming up, and the register waits. By the time the session ends you are guessing who came and who left early. Belt progress lives in a notebook at home, so when a parent asks how their daughter is doing toward her next grading, you say "she's getting there" because the real picture is at your kitchen table, not on the mat.

Where it breaks#

Memory is not a record. Two weeks later you cannot say for sure whether a student made the four sessions their grading needs, or whether the class pack you waved through still had classes left on it. When you cover another instructor's class, you walk in blind to who these students are and what grade they hold.

A register that fits in your hand#

Open the class on your phone at the edge of the mat and tap each student present as they line up. Attendance is recorded against their single student record in seconds — no clipboard, no shoes, no leaving the mat. If a student is on a class pack (bono), it decrements automatically as you mark them in, so you are never the one arguing about how many sessions are left.

Marking attendance should take ten seconds at the edge of the mat, not ten minutes at the kitchen table.

Belt progress you can read at a glance#

Every student's record shows their current grade and how consistently they have been training. Before a grading you can see who has put in the mat time and who has been missing the Thursday class they need. When a parent asks, you answer from the same screen the school runs on, not from a guess.

Group promotions without the paperwork#

After a grading, you are not the one re-typing a stack of certificates into a spreadsheet. Update the students who passed, and their records carry their new grade forward into every class they attend. The next instructor who teaches them — including you next term — sees the right belt straight away.

Covering a class you don't usually teach#

Step onto an unfamiliar mat and open the class on your phone: there is the roster, the grades and who is enrolled. You know in a glance that the back row are green belts and the two new faces are trial students, so you can pitch the session correctly from the first bow.

One mat, one record, one school#

What you mark mat-side is the same record reception sees at the desk and the owner sees in the reports. No double entry, no end-of-week reconciliation, no "did you ever log that?" Your students' attendance and belts flow straight into the wider picture.

It means you can spend the lesson teaching, not tracking — and still know that everything you and the whole martial arts school run on lives in one platform.
