The software for Swiss karate.
Paak already runs your members, CHF payments (incl. TWINT) and teams. For the SKF (Swiss Karate Federation, a WKF co-founder) it goes further: full Kyu-Dan progression, integrated Dan Register, 20+ styles, Kata + Kumite. Complementary to Sportdata and Sports-ID, never a substitute.
- Kyu-Dan tracking + Dan Register —
skfDanRegisterEntryfield on the profile, linked to the public register danregister.karate.ch - Multi-style under one roof — Shotokan, Shitō-ryū, Gōjū-ryū, Wadō-ryū and 16+ more, tagged per dojo and per athlete
- CHF (incl. TWINT), nLPD-compatible hosting — data in the EU, on the Swiss adequacy list
Free up to 100 members. Live in Switzerland · CHF + TWINT.
Swiss karate, in one club tool.
Less admin, more karate.
While you are in the dojo, the club keeps running: members register online from your club’s public page, pay their fees and sign their waivers — and everything lands in your dashboard, with nothing to re-type.
Included from the free plan — public page and member portal on every tier.
- Online registration from your club’s public page — no more paper forms
- Fees by card or SEPA direct debit, in one or several instalments per your plans
- Waivers and image-rights consent signed online, timestamped
- A member portal with no account, no password: schedule, payments, documents
- Automatic reminders and follow-ups — fees, licences, certificates
- One-tap roll call, attendance tracked session after session
The SKF runs two federal platforms — Paak complements, doesn't replace.
Sportdata (Herisau, official WKF partner) runs competitions, the Swiss Karate League and rankings since 2009 at sportdata.org/skf. Sports-ID (deployed in 2025) runs members, the smartcard ID and events at sportsid.org. You keep both.
Stay your official reference
- WKF competitions, Swiss Karate League, rankings, brackets (Sportdata, since 2009)
- SKF member management, smartcard ID, events (Sports-ID, 2025)
- The SKF keeps sovereignty over member data
The club layer Sports-ID doesn't cover
- Mollie payments in CHF (incl. TWINT) (dues, camps, courses, sponsors)
- Multi-style on one platform, live kumite + kata scoring
- Parent communication, club accounting, volunteers, training planning
- Individual performance and Kyu-Dan tracking on the athlete profile
From white belt to the 10th Dan, linked to the Dan Register.
9 or 10 Kyu grades (white → brown, colour progression varies by style) then 1st to 10th Dan. Source: karate.ch + danregister.karate.ch, verified 2026-05-07.
Variations: the Kyu colour progression varies by style (Shotokan, Shitō-ryū, Gōjū-ryū, Wadō-ryū). Examinations are managed per style section. No medical certificate required at grassroots level. Kyu exam fee: CHF 15 (free under 13).
Public SKF Dan Register
Official digital register of Dan holders, public and searchable by name / section at danregister.karate.ch. The skfDanRegisterEntry field is tracked on the athlete profile in Paak.
SKF categories & formats
U12, U14, U16 (Cadets), U18 (Juniors), U21 (Espoirs), Elite. Two formats: Kata (form, judged) and Kumite (combat, WKF arithmetic scoring). Source sportdata.org/skf.
The fight is scored by WKF points, live.
Unlike SJV judo (count-based, non-cumulative): the WKF sums yuko (1) + waza-ari (2) + ippon (3). Every action on a button, from the tatami. The live tracker is part of Paak Pro.
Sonderprivatauszug recommended for sensei.
Switzerland has no direct equivalent to the French law of 8 March 2024, but Swiss Olympic — of which the SKF is a member — recommends the Sonderprivatauszug (special criminal-record extract) for anyone in regular contact with minors, as part of the joint programme with the BASPO/OFSPO "No sexual abuse in sport".

Frequently asked
Is the SKF Kyu-Dan system tracked?
Yes. Full progression 9-10 Kyu + 1st to 10th Dan. The skfDanRegisterEntry field is tracked on the athlete profile, linked to the public register danregister.karate.ch. Kyu exam fee CHF 15 (free under 13).
Does Paak replace Sportdata + Sports-ID?
No. Sportdata for WKF competition + Swiss Karate League; Sports-ID for members + ID card. You keep both. Paak is complementary: multi-style, CHF/TWINT off-licence payments, parents, club accounting, club performance.
Is there a public SKF API?
None. Sportdata and Sports-ID expose no public developer API. Dan Register web-only. Bridge today: CSV import.
Are SKF age categories supported?
Yes. U12, U14, U16 (Cadets), U18 (Juniors), U21 (Espoirs), Elite. Kata + Kumite.
Are the 20+ SKF styles managed?

Can Paak handle belt gradings?
Yes. Create a "Grading" session: the candidate list comes from the roll-call, and the exam sheet prints with your club's own criteria and scale (session and sheet available on every plan). From Paak One, each candidate is pre-filled to the next grade and one click updates every successful candidate's grade, with per-member history — previous grade, date, examiner.
