Training Journal

Log the class while it is still fresh — the forms, the sparring, the techniques, and the opportunities you want to fix next time — and keep tournaments, eating, lifting, injuries, and ranks in the same book. The journal speaks your art's language: pick your art and the fields change to match it. A class takes under a minute to write down; the record lasts.

By art

Training by art — each art in its own words

Training rhythm

Your year on the mat

Every training day for the last year, one square per day — darker means more sessions that day. Filter it to a single art to see that art's rhythm on its own.

Setup

Your arts & settings

Pick from the list — every art brings its own training fields and rank ladder — or name your own.

Art profiles — rank ladders & extra fields, per art

Each art comes with the ladder and training fields its practitioners actually use. If your school's ladder differs — or your art has none, like Muay Thai — write your own here and the Ranks tab will pick from it. You can also add your own extra fields to an art's training form.

Added to the art's own fields on the training form. A list collects comma-separated items and feeds the technique index; a number is totaled on the Dashboard; a choice offers a fixed set of options and counts like a list. Changing a field's type never changes values already logged — totals simply skip values that are not numbers.

Everything is stored on this device first (localStorage) — no account needed, nothing is ever deleted by a plan limit. Sign in to back the journal up to the cloud.

Sharing

Share with your coach Pro

A share link shows your coach a read-only copy of this journal — dashboard, training history and technique index, in your arts' own words. They see it exactly as the journal stands; they cannot change anything, and opening a link is always free for them. You can revoke a link at any time and it stops working at once.

Templates

Session templates — your usual class, one tap away

Fill the form above the way a usual session goes, name it here, and the template remembers the shape — art, class type, minutes, effort, forms, rounds, techniques, drills and the art's own fields. Starting from a template fills today's form; the date, notes and opportunities stay yours to write fresh.

History

Training history

    Tournaments · Pro

    Your competition record, kept properly.

    Log every event — divisions entered, placings, medals counted for you, your match record, and the lessons you took home — and see the next tournament coming on your Dashboard. This tab is part of Pro.

    Tournaments

    Log a tournament

    The match numbers are your sparring record only. Every other kind of event — forms, weapons, breaking — lives in the divisions below, where each division carries its own type. A forms-only day needs no match numbers at all.

    Watching a number for this event? Set it as the goal weight and, inside 30 days, the Dashboard countdown shows your latest weigh-in and the plain distance to it. The journal reports numbers only — never diet advice.

      Tournament day

      Mat-side mode

      A big-button view for the day itself: pick your tournament, tap a result after each match, and the record updates itself. Made to work one-handed between matches.

      Eating · Pro

      Food and body weight, without the lecture.

      A simple daily food log — meals, optional calories and protein, water — plus body-weight entries with a plain trend line, so a competitor can see exactly where their weight is heading into a tournament. No diet advice, no warnings; just your numbers. This tab is part of Pro.

          Weight Lifting · Pro

          Sets, reps, and PRs that watch themselves.

          Log exercises as sets × reps × weight and the journal does the arithmetic — workout volume totals, and automatic personal records for heaviest set, best estimated 1RM, and best set volume, flagged the moment you beat them. This tab is part of Pro.

            Injuries · Pro

            Train around it, on the record.

            Record each injury — body part, severity, status, and the restrictions you are training under — and active injuries stay on your Dashboard where you will actually see them before class. This tab is part of Pro.

                Search & export

                Find anything, take your data with you

                Bring your history with you: a Strong or Hevy lifting export, this journal's own CSVs, or any training spreadsheet shaped like the template. You see exactly what will be added before anything is written. Importing only ever adds — it never edits or deletes what is here — and entries already in your journal are skipped, so importing the same file twice is harmless. Lifting imports land on the Weight Lifting tab, so they need Pro; training CSV imports are free.

                Free plan: Training, Ranks and Dashboard, the last 90 days of history, one art. JSON backup works on both plans — your data is yours. Pro adds the Tournaments, Eating, Weight Lifting and Injuries tabs, your full history and every art, CSV export, print, and all-time search.
