Start by sharing your school's registration link. Each student enters their details and uploads a face photo. Authorize the instructors who will send class photos, then keep your class schedule up to date so the records can be matched to the right session. 1. The instructor gathers the class for a photo at the end of training, with faces visible and enough light. 2. The instructor sends that photo to the FaceDojo WhatsApp number from their authorized number. 3. FaceDojo identifies registered students and records attendance. The instructor checks the list and makes any manual corrections. The photo goes directly to FaceDojo. Students do not need to open an app for every check-in, and your school does not need a turnstile for this workflow. Agree on who checks the list when two instructors share a class. ## How do you manage several classes and programs? A school may teach kids' karate, adult BJJ and evening muay thai on the same mats. FaceDojo uses the photo's date and time to look up the class schedule. When the school offers several disciplines, it asks which one the class practiced. Give classes names your team recognizes and keep their times current. Reports let you review attendance by class and period, while an individual student's history shows the sessions they attended. Check that history before treating a change of class time as a drop in training. For gi, no-gi, kids and competition classes, see the [BJJ gym management workflow](https://facedojo.net/en/bjj-gym-management-software/). The attendance process stays the same; the classes you review reflect the way your school teaches. ## How do membership billing and attendance fit together? FaceDojo supports automatic credit-card membership billing and shows which students are current or overdue. The staff member answering a payment question can check the relevant membership record instead of rebuilding the answer from chat messages and handwritten notes. Attendance and payment status answer different questions. A student can pay on time but stop training. Another can attend regularly with a payment that needs attention. Review both records, then decide whether the next conversation concerns returning to class or resolving a billing issue. When changing systems, agree on the last billing period handled by the old process and the first handled by the new one. Keep previous records available during the transition and confirm a student's status before contacting them about an overdue membership. ## What can instructors and students review? Records for the school and the student | Record | How to use it | | --- | --- | | Attendance history | Review a student's classes or compare participation across a selected period. | | Class reports | Check which sessions a student attended before following up on an absence. | | Membership billing | Identify current and overdue payments before discussing a billing question. | | Student app | Let students consult their rank, class diary, class ranking and billing information. | Attendance history supports a belt review, but promotion remains the instructor's decision. Use the records alongside your observations in class. For children's groups, organize registration and guardian permissions with the FaceDojo team before starting the photo routine. ## How do you spot students who are training less often? After a month of attendance history, FaceDojo can alert you on your phone when a student starts missing more classes than usual. Open their history and check other class times before deciding how to follow up. A change in attendance is a reason to ask what changed. It does not tell you whether the cause is work, injury or a different schedule. Use the record to prepare a specific conversation and agree on a practical next step with the student. ## What does FaceDojo cost for a martial arts school?

No. FaceDojo connects student registration, class attendance, membership billing, attendance reports and absence alerts. Students can use the app to view their class diary, rank and billing information. ### Does it work for a school with several martial arts programs? Yes. FaceDojo uses the date and time of the class photo to find the class in your schedule. If your school offers several disciplines, it asks you to select the one taught. You can review attendance by student, class and period. ### Do we send the class photo to our WhatsApp group? The instructor sends the photo to the FaceDojo WhatsApp number from an authorized phone number. FaceDojo recognizes registered students and records attendance. Your school can keep its existing WhatsApp groups. ### What happens if a student is missing from the photo? The instructor can correct the attendance list manually. Ask students to face the camera in good light and check the recorded list after sending the photo. ### Does the software decide when students earn their next belt? The instructor makes promotion decisions. FaceDojo provides attendance history that helps you review how consistently a student has trained; attendance does not replace your technical assessment. ### How much does the martial arts school software cost?
