Platform
An append-only, gym-signed record of every promotion, ceremony, and significant event in your training career. Portable across gyms. The thing that makes "I'm a brown belt" verifiable.
Most martial arts have no real way to verify someone's claims. Belts are issued by individual instructors with no central registry. Walk into a new gym and say "I'm a purple belt" and the new gym just has to trust you.
CombatScore's verified training record fixes that. Every promotion, ceremony, and significant event you receive is signed by the issuing gym and locked into your record. New gyms can verify your history in one click. You stay in control of who sees it.
| Event type | Source | Signed by |
|---|---|---|
| Belt / stripe promotion | A ceremony or quick promotion | Issuing gym + coach |
| Notable session (competition, seminar) | Tagged in session metadata | Issuing gym |
| Coach attestation | A coach writes a formal recommendation | The coach + issuing gym |
| Drop-in visit | A visit at another gym in the network | Visiting gym |
Each entry is append-only. You can't delete or revise once it's recorded. A correction generates a new entry with a link to the original ("Corrected from previous record on 2026-04-15"). Gyms can't quietly rewrite history.
When you join a new gym, the new gym sees your verified training record (with your permission). They can:
You control sharing. By default, the new gym sees nothing. When you join, you opt-in to share the record with them. You can revoke later if you leave.
Your verified record follows you. Switch gyms, move to a new city, take a year off — the record stays intact and verifiable. This is one of the platform's most important guarantees.
If you train at a CombatScore gym you don't belong to (visiting another city, etc.), the gym can log your drop-in. That entry becomes part of your record — showing you've trained at multiple places — without a full membership.
See Joining a gym for the drop-in flow.
Your record persists. The shutdown gym becomes a "former gym" in your record; the signatures and entries are still cryptographically valid.
Settings → Privacy → Verified record visibility lets you toggle. Default: only your current gym(s) see it. You can make it fully private (only you see it) or fully public (anyone with the URL).
For athletes, it makes your training history actually portable and verifiable. For gyms, it cuts the risk of fraudulent claims. For the platform, it's the durable thing — sessions and streaks come and go, but the record is permanent, signed, and yours.
