Martial Class™ has the ability for you to track multiple styles with ease.
Martial Class™ tracks students based on the concept of a "home" or "current" venue (or training center). So on the student browser, you will see ALL students who primarily train at that venue regardless of which Style they study. You can then see at a glance who are prospects for introduction to other styles in your school.
In this example, Billy is a beginner in Boxing, and Matthew is a more advanced student, but Phil and Timmy are not ranked in that Style.
However, at the same venue, we can look at participants in Karate to discover that Phil is actually 10th Kyu in Karate, and the only student you have.
To configure styles for your organisation (be it one or many), you need to open the Options dialog from the Settings->Options... menu item.
From there, you can choose to alter one of the pre-defined Styles to suit, or to add new styles to the system. You can also hide styles you do not currently require in the system, or if you are sure they will not be of any use, you can delete them.
Each style can have a belt system, a name and logo. Each style may also have it's own rating system that helps you to track the eagerness of your students.
The belt system for a style includes the ability to use icons for easy identification of grade levels, a descriptive name, and a base color.
Martial Class™ has a function to recommend students for promotion. It achieves this by comparing student information and training/grading history with metrics you enter against grades in the Style Editor Window. You can specify that a student needs to train for at least 2 months after achieving their belt before they can be recommended for that belt, they must be at least 7 years old and they must have attended at least 40 hours of lessons (or however you wish to configure these metrics).
For more information on how to configure styles, including recommendation metrics and ratings, press F1 when you open the style editor from the Options Dialog.
