EXCLUSIVE SOFTWARE

Build and Manage Your Curriculum with Dojo Manager

BMABA’s exclusive syllabus platform gives you the tools to build graded syllabi, manage your technique library, plan your curriculum visually, and collaborate with co-instructors — all inside your MyBMABA portal.

Professional curriculum tools, completely free with your BMABA membership

Dojo Manager gives every BMABA member a private workspace to build graded syllabi, manage a technique library, plan sessions with a drill bank, and collaborate with co-instructors in real time. There are no licences to buy, no approval processes to navigate, and no external body telling you how to teach your art. BMABA is a not-for-profit association. Every tool we build exists to serve our members, not to generate revenue. Dojo Manager is included as standard with your free membership — just log in to MyBMABA and it is waiting for you.

SYLLABUS BUILDER

Build a complete graded curriculum from scratch, your way.

The Kanban board gives you a column for every grade, from beginner through to black belt. Add techniques from your library, assign them as required, optional, or revision, drag them between grades, and build a structured pathway that reflects how you actually teach. No templates imposed, no approval needed.

TECHNIQUE LIBRARY

One library. Every technique you have ever taught.

Your technique library is global across all your syllabi. Add your own from scratch or import from our pre-designed collections covering nineteen martial art styles. Each technique carries its own description, coach notes, category, icon, and custom colour. Assign any technique to any grade in any syllabus, any time.

DRILL BANK

Stop reinventing your warm-ups. Build a session library that lasts.

Store every warm-up, drill, partner exercise, game, cool-down, and conditioning circuit in your personal Drill Bank. Tag by skill level, age range, duration, and equipment needed. Import from our pre-designed collections or build your own from day one. Your entire session toolkit, always one click away.

BELT PROGRESSION MAP

See your entire curriculum at a glance.

The Visualise tab generates a colour-coded map of every grade and every technique in your syllabus. Set per-grade transition targets — sessions, frequency, duration — and get a full journey estimate from first class to black belt. Spot gaps, rebalance grades, and share a clear visual overview with co-instructors or students.

AI DOJO ASSISTANT

An expert curriculum advisor, available every time you sit down to plan.

The built-in AI assistant understands martial arts. Ask it to suggest techniques for a grade, analyse whether your syllabus is well-balanced, draft an introduction or examiner notes, or generate pad combination drills for your next session. Scoped strictly to dojo management — it will not waste your time on anything else.

TEAM COLLABORATION

Build your syllabus together, in real time.

Invite co-instructors to edit any syllabus. See who is online, which tab they are working in, and get notified the moment they save a change. Manage invites, set collaborator limits by tier, and keep full ownership of your own work. Collaboration the way it should work — simple, live, and respectful of everyone’s time.

PEDAGOGY

Map how your techniques connect, build and progress.

The Pedagogy tab gives you an interactive canvas where you can draw relationships between techniques across your entire syllabus. Show which techniques are prerequisites for others, which combinations they build into, and which skills need to be refined before the next grade. It is a curriculum planning tool as much as a teaching aid — useful for identifying gaps, explaining your syllabus to co-instructors, and building a coherent progression that makes pedagogical sense.

416 TECHNIQUES READY TO IMPORT

A pre-built library covering 19 martial art styles, ready to use on day one.

Not starting from scratch. Dojo Manager includes 416 pre-designed techniques spanning Karate, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Boxing, Kickboxing, MMA, Krav Maga, Jujitsu, Aikido, Hapkido, Jeet Kune Do, Kung Fu, Kendo, HEMA, Capoeira, Self Defence, and Wrestling. Browse by style, search by name, and import any technique into your own library in one click. Once imported they are fully yours to edit, rename, and assign to any syllabus. We also include 75 pre-designed drills and exercises covering warm-ups, session drills, partner games, cool-downs, and conditioning.
