Empty-hand · Weapons
The class, empty-hand or with weapons
You first choose the form: taijutsu or buki-waza. With weapons, the bokken, the jo or the tanto are added, with the kind of work: suburi, awase, kumitachi, kumijō.

- Throws · 8
13 techniques, by family
The pins from ikkyo to gokyo on one side, the throws on the other: irimi-nage, shiho-nage, kote-gaeshi, kaiten-nage… You tick several per session, and the list stays open for a syllabus your club names differently.

Passed · Not passed
The grading, and its result
The grade presented and the result are logged with the grading session; a passed grading offers to add the grade obtained to your history. A failed grading leaves its trace, with what the panel noted.
-
Hours by grade
Your hours, grade by grade
Each grade has its sessions and its hours: those of the current grade count from the day it was earned. Only sessions with a logged duration count toward the hours, and the logbook says so.
-
- Participant
- Assistant teaching
- Class instructor
- Exam uke
The role you played that day
Participant, assistant teaching, exam uke, or class instructor: the hours taught are read apart from the hours practised.

Training camp · Embukai
Training camps and their instructor
A training camp, an embukai or a grading is an event, with its sessions inside it. The instructor is chosen from your people: you find each instructor again, and the hours done with them.
More than 500 ways to read your aikido
12 ready-made analyses, and custom analysis: 23 indicators to cross with 26 criteria, as a breakdown or over time, with whatever filters you like.

Tap a bar, a slice or a point: the sessions behind it open up. And every figure says how many sessions it is based on.
A class: the form first, the detail after
A date, the duration, the people you trained with, and the form of practice, empty-hand or weapons: that is all you need. The rest unfolds under “More details”.
Empty-hand (taijutsu), 1 h 30- The date, the time and the duration, and the people you trained with.
- The form of practice, empty-hand or weapons, with the weapon and the kind of weapons work.
- Under “More details”: the technique and the attack, one or several, the working position, group class or private lesson, the instructor.
- At a grading: the grade presented, passed or not passed.
From the Tuesday class to the weekend session
Each line gives the form, the weapon or the grade presented, the type of class and the instructor. A class has no result to look for: what counts is what was worked on.
- The form, the weapon and the instructor at a glance, with the day’s form.
- The season filters at the top: 2026-2027, 2025-2026, 2024-2025 or the whole history.
- Training camps, embukai and gradings sit under their event, with “By event”.
- “Class” and “Grading” filter the list with one tap.
One date, and that is all
A session counts with its date: the form defaults to empty-hand, and the duration, the technique, the instructor or the role played come when you feel like it.
A white belt is not a beginner
Belt colours between the kyu are left to each club: a white belt worn for a long time does not signal a beginner. The grade is noted with its date, and it is added to your history in one tap when a grading is passed.
