Adding a Non-BJJ Student

This tutorial walks through adding a member who trains a non-BJJ discipline — say a Muay Thai student — so they're tracked for attendance and billing without ever showing up on your grading screens. For the full picture, see the Disciplines & Non-BJJ Members reference.

Prerequisites​

  • You need the non-BJJ discipline to exist first. If you haven't created it yet, do that in Settings → Programs & Classes → Disciplines. See Setting Up a Discipline.

1. Create the Discipline (Once)​

In Settings → Programs & Classes, find the Disciplines section and click Add Discipline. Pick a colour, type the name (e.g. Muay Thai), and click Add.

You only do this once per discipline — every future student and class can then be assigned to it.

2. Add the Student​

Open Students and click Add Student. Fill in their name, contact details, date of birth, and start date as usual.

3. Set Their Disciplines​

In the Disciplines field, deselect BJJ and select the discipline they train (e.g. Muay Thai). If they train both, leave BJJ selected and add the other.

A student with no BJJ won't appear on any grading surface — the belt and stripe fields no longer apply to them.

4. Save​

Click Add Student. Back in the roster, your new member shows their discipline's coloured pill where BJJ students show a belt.

5. (Optional) Give Them Classes to Attend​

For the member to book and be checked into the right classes, tag those classes with their discipline. In Schedule → Template view, open a class and set its Discipline dropdown. Non-BJJ members are only offered classes that match one of their disciplines.

See the Disciplines & Non-BJJ Members reference for how attendance, the kiosk, and the student portal behave for non-BJJ members.
