Schedule a test, list who is testing for what, see who has met the stated minimums, and record how it went. A pass is recorded as the promotion it is.
Each day's classes and who checked in. Students check themselves in at the front-desk tablet, and staff can check anyone in here or remove a check-in made by mistake. Every check-in counts toward the student's next belt; nothing is recorded for a student who did not check in. Classes and the check-in tablet are set up in Schedule → Classes.
Every family who asked, what they asked for, and what happens next. Inquiries arrive from your offer pages and the contact form; nothing here is automated away from you.
Reports from members about comments. You see what was reported and why — never who reported it. Reports about your own content are handled by another administrator or by platform moderation.
The instructors shown on your public page. Name is required; title, rank, years and bio are optional. Order here is display order.
The classes your dojo teaches each week — the days, the time, how long they run and who teaches them. They appear on the Attendance screen and on your dojo’s calendars on the days they run, and each check-in to one counts toward the student’s next belt unless you say otherwise.
Set up an iPad or other tablet at your front desk and students check themselves in to class with a PIN. The tablet holds the authorization, not the PIN — a PIN on its own, away from your dojo’s tablet, does nothing at all.
The rules your coaches use in the Kumite Clock and your Rules page compares. Start from the platform’s AAU, NKF and WKF presets, or keep rulesets of your own — every save is a version, so a tournament scored under one keeps its rules.
Name the age and weight bands your dojo competes in, in the order you want them suggested. Coaches and competitors can still type anything.
The ranks your dojo awards, lowest first — this order is the progression promotions follow. Every school grades differently, so there is no default: until you add ranks here, members keep the belt already written on their profile and nothing changes.
What each rank on your ladder requires — the kata, kumite, self-defence and knowledge, with your own videos and study sheets attached. A member sees the requirements for the rank after their current one; promote them and their hub changes by itself.
Take tuition from families with a card, on your dojo’s own Stripe account. You are the merchant — the money lands in your account and you own the refunds.
Conversations with your dojo’s number, shared by your staff — so two people never answer the same family twice.

Wording used on your dojo's public home page.

Defaults applied to new profiles and videos, plus who may see this dojo's members.
Display preference only. Which coaches may reach this dojo is granted per coach by the platform owner.
Put an access code in front of this dojo's public pages. Your members, coaches and administrators never need it — they sign in as usual. Guests who enter the code see what the team is doing: the calendar, events, tournaments, seminars and travel. They never see competitors, results, comments or anyone's contact details.
Ending guest sessions stops any further reading immediately. It cannot reach a page somebody already has open, and it does not un-share a code that has already been passed on — set a new code as well if that matters.
Send team alerts into the GroupMe group your families already read. Write once here — GroupMe carries a short alert with a link back to the full details, and this site stays the source of truth.
An assistant that answers visitors’ questions about your dojo — in your voice, from answers you approve. It never guesses: a question you have not taught it goes to you instead.
Your crest, header mark and the photographs your pages show. Change or remove them here; every page follows.
Your Sensei is drawn from a reference photo in the KarateShowCase style. Visitors meet the drawing; the photo is never shown.
KarateShowCase
Getting in, getting on the competition team, putting a match on your profile, and how your coaches give you feedback on it.
Three ways people arrive. Which one applies to you depends on how your dojo runs its site.
The most common way in. A link arrives by email; you open it, sign in or create your account, and you are a member straight away — there is no request to make and nothing to approve, because the invitation was the approval.
Use Join at the top of this site (it is the same form as Log In → Sign Up). You will need your name, your belt, an email address and a password, and you will be asked to agree to the waiver and terms and to confirm your age. We email you a link; opening it is what makes you a member.
A code lets a visitor look around without an account: the calendar, events, tournaments, seminars and travel. It is not a membership, and it never shows competitors, results, coaching notes or anyone's contact details.
Match video lives on YouTube and your profile links to it. Three steps, and you only do the first one once per video.
Sign in at youtube.com with any Google account, choose Create → Upload video, and publish it. Then copy the link from your browser's address bar.
Set the visibility to Unlisted unless you want the video found on YouTube itself. Unlisted means anyone with the link can watch it, but it does not appear in YouTube search.
There are two ways in, and both open the same form:
Only the tournament is required. Everything else can be added or corrected later.
Then Add Match.
The match joins the Matches tab on your profile, grouped by tournament and division, newest first. Kumite matches also count toward your Kumite record — kata is shown but is not scored win or loss.
A new match starts visible to your coaches and dojo admins only — not to your teammates. That is deliberate: it gives you and your coach the first look. Your dojo can open it to the team.
Feedback is pinned to the moment in the video it is about, so there is nothing to guess.
When a coach starts writing, the note takes the video's current position and holds it while they type — so a note about 1:12 stays at 1:12 even if the video plays on. Now re-anchors it to wherever the video has reached.
Every note carries the time it refers to. Tap it and the video plays from there. Notes are listed in the order they happen in the match rather than the order they were written.
A coaching note is a conversation, not a verdict. You can reply underneath any note, and your reply sits with it at the same moment in the video.
Your dojo's coaches and admins, and you. A coach's note is marked as a coach's note so you always know which voice you are reading.
Competitor profiles, match video and coaching notes are private to the dojo and to a coach from outside it whom KarateShowCase has given access. This is enforced on the server, not just hidden in the page.
See nothing about any competitor — no profile, no match video, no results, no notes.
See nothing here. Membership belongs to one dojo, and there is no view across dojos.
See your profile, your matches and your coaching notes. They are the people running your training, and hiding your profile does not hide it from them.
See what you see, including a profile you have hidden from the team. Your dojo makes that link — up to four people.
See your profile unless you hide it. On your profile there is one checkbox — Hide my profile from other competitors — and it is yours to set; a coach cannot set it for you. Individual matches start coach-only regardless.
Only if KarateShowCase has given that coach access: to you by name, or to the whole dojo, which covers every athlete there. They see what they need to coach, coaching notes included. There is no way to share your profile with someone yourself — ask your dojo if you need this.
Anything about your team, your training or your place on it is your dojo's — ask your coach. If something on this site is not working the way this page describes, tell us.
They can replace it themselves at any time from their profile. Adding a competitor without a photo is fine — one can be added later.
Conversations with your dojo’s number, in one place your staff share — so two people never answer the same family twice.
Today’s classes, the videos waiting on you, your athletes and what’s coming up — the work of the day, in one place.
