Combat score explained

Combat score is the single number on your dashboard hero. It summarizes your training trajectory — not your absolute skill, but how much momentum you've built recently.

What it measures

Your combat score is recomputed nightly from the last 90 days of:

Sessions logged. Every session counts; type and duration both matter.
Rounds. Sparring rounds and recorded drilling reps weight heavier than just clocking time.
Coach feedback. Stars and positive tags from coach ratings push the number up.
Promotions. A new stripe or belt is a one-time bump.
Streak. Long streaks add a small consistency multiplier.

What it does NOT measure

Wins or losses in competition.
Other people's combat scores. It's not a leaderboard score; comparing yours to a teammate's tells you very little.
Lifetime experience. Your 20-year background doesn't show up here — that's what your belt timeline and training history are for.

Why a 90-day window?

Because the platform's job is to help you train now, not to commemorate what you did five years ago. The 90-day rolling window means combat score reflects what you're putting in right now.

If you take three months off, it'll drop. That's intentional, not a bug.

What if it suddenly dropped?

Three possible causes:

You skipped a few sessions. Most likely — the window is rolling. Climb back in and it'll recover within a week.
An old session aged out. A 91-day-old session falls off the back of the window; if you were near a milestone, you might dip.
The platform recalibrated. Rare, but if we tune the formula we announce it in the changelog.

Multi-discipline scoring

If you train more than one discipline (BJJ + striking, say), each contributes to a single combat score. The platform doesn't penalize you for cross-training — the opposite, actually. Variety is a small positive weight.

Why it isn't on your public profile by default

Because it's a private momentum signal, not a flex. You can make it public from Profile → Visibility, but most athletes leave it private.
