Karate club & dojo management software

From spreadsheet to connected tatami. Karate, properly understood.

Paak already runs your members, payments, classes and compliance. For karate it goes further: 5 styles natively configured, live kumite scoring (yuko, waza-ari, ippon), kata, grades and belts.

  • 5 styles, 5 configurations — Shotokan/WKF, Kyokushin, Shitō-ryū, Gōjū-ryū, Wadō-ryū: each with its own scoring, sanctions and weights
  • Live kumite — aka/shiro split-screen, yuko / waza-ari / ippon buttons, sanctions, from the edge of the tatami
  • Child-safeguarding compliance — instructors tracked, reminders before expiry

Free up to 100 members. No credit card. 30-second setup.

01 · Live kumite

The fight is scored on the tatami, not afterwards.

One tap on the + / − buttons adjusts each fighter's score in real time, from your phone. Aka (red) / shiro (white) split-screen, per-fighter sanctions, ippon detection for an instant win.

  • Aka / shiro split-screen — each fighter, their score and sanctions side by side
  • Yuko, waza-ari, ippon — buttons that adapt to the configured style
  • WKF sanctions — chukoku, keikoku, hansoku-chui, hansoku tracked per fighter

02 · Karateka profile

A profile that speaks karate — belt, kumite, kata.

Every fight feeds the karateka's profile: belt, style, discipline (kumite, kata or both), weight category, and metrics computed automatically. The columns are karate's, not a team sport's.

  • Belt & progression — 20 levels, from 10th kyu (white) to 10th dan
  • Average points per fight, win rate, average kata score (technique + athleticism)
  • WKF weight categories — youth (-30 to +55 kg) and senior (-60 to +84 kg)
  • Style configurable per athlete — each karateka keeps their style's scoring

The scoreboard

Kumite scoring, in karate's own terms.

No invented stats: exactly the techniques and sanctions of WKF competition. Every action tapped on a button weighs on the fighter's score.

Yuko
+1 pt
Punch (tsuki) to the torso
Waza-ari
+2 pts
Kick to the torso (chudan geri)
Ippon
+3 pts
Kick to the head (jodan geri) or throw followed by a strike
WKF sanctions
Chukoku
Warning (1st)
Keikoku
Warning (2nd)
Hansoku-chui
Penultimate warning
Hansoku
Disqualification
Kyokushin scores differently: full-contact is scored by knockdown and tameshiwari, not by WKF points. That's why Kyokushin has its own configuration — and its own dedicated page.
One software, five karates

5 styles, 5 different configurations.

It's not just a label. Each style has its own scoring, sanctions, stats and weight categories. Pick a style, and everything adapts in the app.

Shotokan / WKF — points scoring

WKF points scoring (yuko 1, waza-ari 2, ippon 3), Olympic categories, senshu (first point) advantage, counter-attacks.

In Paak: WKF weights (-60 to +84 kg), preferred competition kata, level from club to Olympic.

Kyokushin — full-contact

Full-contact, no punches to the head. Win by ippon (KO or two waza-ari), hantei or shikkaku. Tameshiwari as a tie-breaker.

In Paak: Kyokushin weights (-60 to +90 kg), tameshiwari record, dojo, kata mastered.
See the dedicated page

Shitō-ryū — 60+ kata

WKF scoring + a unique stat: number of kata mastered (60+ repertoire). Kata lineage tracked (Itosu, Higaonna, or both).

In Paak: Kata repertoire tracking, Itosu / Higaonna lineage, standard WKF scoring.

Gōjū-ryū — close-range

Throws allowed (2 pts), Sanchin assessment, close-range strikes, sweeps, body conditioning. 2-minute matches.

In Paak: Gōjū weights (Open, -70, -85, +85 kg), Sanchin level, 12 core kata, throw rate.

Wadō-ryū — evasion + jujutsu

WKF scoring + unique stats: tai sabaki (body evasion), paired-kata score. Exclusive formation: paired kata (tori/uke).

In Paak: Paired-kata partner, jujutsu form, tai sabaki rate, average paired-kata score.
Kata

Technique is scored too.

Kata is tracked with its own scores: technique (precision, power, rhythm) and athleticism (speed, balance, coordination), both individual and team.

Individual kata

  • 1 performer, separate technique and athleticism scores
  • Precision, power, rhythm assessed
  • Average kata score tracked on the profile

Team kata

  • 3 karateka, synchronisation assessed
  • Bunkai (combat application) on top
  • Combined technique + athleticism scores
