Skill Tracking & Curriculum

Overview

For martial arts programs and any discipline with a defined syllabus, GymPoint lets you track individual skills, not just belt ranks. You build a curriculum of techniques under a program's rank system, then score each member on how well they have learned each skill.

Skill tracking sits alongside rank tracking. Ranks measure overall level; the curriculum measures specific techniques. See Ranks & Belt Systems for setting up rank categories, and Belt Promotions for promoting members between ranks.

How the Curriculum Is Structured

A curriculum belongs to a program's rank system and has two levels:

• Skill categories group related techniques — for example "Guard Passes", "Submissions", or "Forms".
• Skills are the individual techniques inside a category, each with an optional description.

A program with no rank system cannot have a curriculum. Set up the program and its rank system first under Schedule > Programs.

Building the Curriculum

1. Go to Schedule > Programs.
2. Open the program whose curriculum you want to edit and find its Curriculum view.
3. In the Skill Categories panel on the left, click Add Category, type a category name, and save.
4. Select a category to open the Skills panel on the right.
5. Click Add Skill, enter a skill name and an optional description, and save.

Each category shows a count of how many skills it contains. You can add as many categories and skills as your syllabus needs.

Editing and Deleting

Use the pencil icon to rename a category or edit a skill's name and description. Use the trash icon to delete.

GymPoint protects scored data. You cannot delete a category that still has skills, and you cannot delete a skill that already has member scores attached to it. Remove the scores or reassign first if you need to delete.

Scoring Members on Skills

Skill scores are recorded on each member's profile.

1. Open the member's profile and go to the Ranks tab.
2. Below the member's rank card for a program, find the skill scoring section.
3. Each skill shows a star rating. Click the stars to set the member's score for that skill.
4. Clearing a score back to zero removes it.

Scores are saved as you set them. The rating reflects how well the member has demonstrated that technique, so instructors can update it over time as the member improves.

Reviewing Curriculum Progress

The member's Ranks tab shows their skill scores grouped by category, so an instructor can see at a glance which techniques are strong and which still need work. This is useful when deciding whether a member is ready for a promotion.

Members can also see their own skill progress. When they log in to the member portal, the Progression page shows their ranks, belt levels, and skill scores. This keeps members motivated and gives them a clear picture of what they are working toward.

Tips

• Build the full curriculum before you start scoring, so categories and skills stay consistent across all members in the program.
• Keep skill names short and specific. A description field is available for longer explanations of the technique.
• Group skills into categories that match how you teach class, so scoring during or after class is fast.
• Review a member's skill scores alongside their rank progress before promoting them. Curriculum coverage is a strong signal of readiness.
• Because scored skills cannot be deleted, plan category and skill structure carefully up front to avoid leaving unused entries.
