In active development · Frame Kids
The Duolingo of jiu-jitsu — made for kids.
Frame's kid sibling: quizzes, streaks and teacher-awarded badges that make showing up feel like a game, and a weekly report card so you always know how training's going — without ever making it a competition between kids.
We're building it now, at the direct request of our founding partner academy.
Their belt Yellow
The day they're promoted, the app changes colour with them.
01 — What it is
Frame Kids is a separate companion app, built by the same team as Frame, made specifically for young students — not a "kids mode" bolted onto the grown-up app. Same trustworthy bones (the belt-accent identity, the navy-and-Space-Grotesk feel), same team behind it — just warmer, louder, and built entirely around how kids actually stay motivated: short quizzes, visible streaks, and a coach who notices.
Meet Roli — the panda who reacts to answers, cheers on streaks, and hands over the report card. Roli encourages, never scolds: a wrong answer is "Almost — look at the top arm," never a red X. And Roli is warmth, not authority — the badges and notes that really matter still come from their actual coach.
Roli
"You showed up 3 times this week — that's the streak, not the belt. Nice work."
02 — The identity
Frame's whole signature is that the app wears your belt. Frame Kids inherits the exact same idea on the kids ladder — grey, yellow, orange, green. Whatever belt they're on drives the whole app's colour, so a grey belt sees a grey-accented app that turns yellow the day they're promoted. The promotion is the rebrand — try it in the picker above.
Same near-black, near-white surfaces as the grown-up app underneath — the warmth comes from the belt colour, the type and the motion, never from repainting the whole screen "kid".
Kids read short — bigger type, a friendlier system face, and celebration-first motion. Every quiz, streak week and badge lands with an actual moment, not a toast notification.
A missed answer is "not yet," shown in their own belt colour — never red, never a loss. Nothing in Frame Kids is designed to make a child feel bad about showing up.
03 — How they learn
Picture quizzes, terminology flashcards and belt-knowledge sets built from what they're actually drilling at the gym — a couple of minutes, not a homework assignment. Portuguese and Japanese terms are treated as cool words to collect, not jargon to memorise.
A streak for classes-per-week — but kids don't control their own schedule. Holiday weeks and injury weeks are protected, not broken. A family holiday should never wreck a month of showing up.
Auto-badges mark milestones (10 classes, first stripe) quietly in the background. The one that matters is awarded by their actual coach — effort, helping a partner, technique of the week — kept deliberately scarce, so it's the one they talk about.
And it's never a ranking. There's no leaderboard putting one kid above another — streaks and badges are about their own showing-up, not a scoreboard against the rest of the class. The only public surface is celebration: a shout-out on the gym feed, and only when a teacher chooses to give one.
04 — For parents
Parents get their own view — not the playful kid screen, Frame's standard, grown-up styling. That visual switch is deliberate: the playful thing is theirs; the trustworthy thing is yours.
Every week, a short report card: classes attended, the streak, any badges earned, quiz progress. Once a month, a short note from their actual coach — what's going well, what to work on next — the same "invisible progress causes people to quit" problem Frame solves for adults, aimed at the person who's paying the membership.

05 — What you get
What parents get
For coaches: the same badge-award moment that means something to a kid is one tap on your side — no admin, no extra login, part of the dashboard you'd already use for the room. That dashboard is free forever, same as the rest of the coach side of Frame. If you run a gym and want to hear about the pilot, Frame for academies is the place to start.
06 — Coming soon
It's in active build now — our founding partner academy asked for it directly, and we're building it alongside them and the rest of Frame's pilot gyms. It isn't ready to try yet. Leave your email and we'll let you know the moment it is — no spam, just the one message when it ships.
