Rank Progression

Belt Tracking and Promotion Readiness

Koaryu treats rank progression as daily studio work, not a disconnected chart. Attendance, manual approvals, and ordered belt ladders all contribute to a clearer promotion queue.

What this solves

Built for the decisions a studio owner actually makes.

Each section explains when the workflow matters, what changes in daily operations, and how it connects to the rest of Koaryu.

Configurable rank ladders

Different schools use different programs, stripes, tips, and promotion rules. Koaryu keeps that structure explicit.

  • Program-specific belt ladders for kids, teens, adults, or discipline-specific tracks
  • Ordered ranks with requirements for class count, time at rank, and instructor approval
  • Promotion history that follows the student record over time

Readiness without guessing

A good belt tracker gives instructors a shortlist they can trust before testing decisions are made.

  • See students who meet automatic requirements and those waiting on manual approval
  • Use attendance and time-at-rank signals instead of memory
  • Keep upcoming test conversations grounded in visible history

Built for the instructor-owner

Promotion work has emotional weight for families and students. The software should support judgment, not replace it.

  • Keep final decisions in human hands
  • Show why a student appears in the promotion queue
  • Preserve notes and history for the next instructor conversation
