## The unique challenges of managing a BJJ academy

After years working with Jiu-Jitsu academies, we know every challenge

### Complex belt and stripe system

From white belt to coral, with 4 stripes per grade. You need precise tracking of each student's progress, time at grade, and fulfilled requirements.

### Extensive technical curriculum

Guard, passing, sweeps, submissions, takedowns... BJJ has hundreds of techniques organized by position. Each student needs to know what to practice based on their level.

### Multiple class types

Fundamentals, advanced, no-gi, competition team, open mat, position-specific classes... Each class type has different attendees.

### Student retention

The path to black belt takes years. Keeping students motivated and preventing dropouts is crucial for your academy's success.

### Seminar and competition management

Organizing seminars with visiting professors, tournament registrations, and tracking your students' competitive results.

## Frequently asked questions

Have other questions? [Contact us](https://matgoat.com/en/contact/)

Yes. MatGoat supports all systems: IBJJF, CBJJ, national federations, and custom systems. Configure grades, stripes, minimum time at grade, and your academy's specific requirements.

You upload your videos and organize them by position, technique, and level. For example: 'Closed Guard > Sweeps > Blue Belt'. Students access from the mobile app and only see content for their level or below.

Absolutely. You configure different class types and MatGoat records attendance separately. You can see how many gi vs no-gi classes each student attends.

From the student's profile, you add stripes with one click. For belt graduations, you change the grade and MatGoat records the date, updates the history, and can send an automatic congratulation.
