FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is BJJ academy management software?
+
BJJ academy management software is a specialized platform for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools that handles class schedules, member payments, belt and stripe tracking, and check-in. ActiveJoin is an all-in-one solution for iOS, Android, and Web, built by people who actually roll.
How does digital belt and stripe tracking work?
+
ActiveJoin records every mat hour, every stripe, and every belt promotion per student. Professors see attendance history and promotion eligibility live in the app, no spreadsheets or paper. Stripes can be celebrated publicly in the community feed.
Why do BJJ academies need dedicated software instead of generic fitness apps?
+
Generic studio software like Mindbody is built for yoga, Pilates, and CrossFit. It does not know belt systems, stripes, federation rules, or roll check-in. ActiveJoin is built specifically for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and ships with all of that out of the box.
What does ActiveJoin cost?
+
ActiveJoin starts with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required. Current pricing and plans are listed in the pricing section on the homepage.
How does the 14-day free trial work?
+
Sign up at backoffice.active-join.cloud/register, set up your academy, and use every feature with no restrictions for 14 days. No credit card required and you can cancel anytime.
Which payment methods does ActiveJoin support?
+
ActiveJoin collects member payments directly, and payouts go to your academy, not through us. Supported methods include SEPA direct debit, card payments, and common regional payment options.
Does ActiveJoin work for a single academy or only for federations?
+
ActiveJoin works for both. A single academy uses scheduling, member payments, and belt tracking. Federations and associations get an additional multi-gym layer with shared promotion standards, cross-academy leaderboards, and portable memberships.
Which platforms does ActiveJoin run on?
+
ActiveJoin is available as a native app for iOS and Android and as a web app in the browser. Students mostly use the mobile apps; academy owners typically work in the web back office.
In which languages is ActiveJoin available?
+
ActiveJoin is available in six languages: English, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and French. The app detects the system language automatically.
Who built ActiveJoin and who is it for?
+
ActiveJoin is built by BJJ practitioners for BJJ academies. The target users are students, professors, academy owners, and federations, with a tailored view for each role inside the same app.
How does ActiveJoin differ from Mindbody or generic studio apps?
+
Mindbody and similar studio software is built for yoga, fitness, and Pilates. ActiveJoin is built specifically for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with belt and stripe tracking, federation structure, competition stats, and roll check-in. These are features that generic fitness apps do not provide.
Is there a free alternative to ActiveJoin?
+
Some academies start with spreadsheets or WhatsApp groups, but these do not scale and make belt politics harder. There are only a few specialized BJJ platforms; ActiveJoin offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card so you can test it without risk.
