Frequently asked questions

Yes. TKD Companion is free for the casual tournament family: a couple of tournaments a year, with up to two athletes and unlimited rings and teams. Pro is for families chasing the season, with unlimited athletes and tournaments, school tools and AI-powered features.

Yes — a free account with an email and password. Everything you record is private to your account and synced across your devices, which is also what makes rings shareable with family and available on the web.

The ATA tournament calendar is built in — pick your season, find your tournament, and set up your rings.

Yes. An account can hold multiple athletes — built for families with more than one competitor, and for coaches.

All of them. Traditional forms and weapons, sparring, combat weapons sparring, creative forms and weapons, and extreme (XMA) forms and weapons — plus One Steps for younger competitors, and team sparring, team combat and team sync forms and weapons. Judged events and matches are each scored their own way, and a ring holds whichever events your competitor is in.

Judged events — traditional, creative, and extreme forms and weapons — use three-judge scoring with live rankings and tie detection. Sparring tracks match by match, with win/loss records and standings. Team sparring and team combat track each match between teams, and team sync forms and weapons use three-judge scoring too. Season totals follow the official per-event caps by tournament class, so what you see matches how the season is actually scored.

Yes. Keep scoring when the signal drops. TKD Companion saves every score on your phone and syncs it as soon as you are back online, and a banner shows when changes are still waiting to sync.

Yes, with Pro. Share a ring with a friend who uses TKD Companion, and they see every score as you enter it, wherever they are.

Yes. With Pro, TKD Companion tracks both: the points you record at the ring, and the athlete’s official points from the ATA. Official results can take a few weeks to post. Seeing the two side by side is an easy way to check that the official points match what the athlete earned, and to catch a mistake while there is still time to have it corrected.

Yes, on every plan. Record a form, a sparring match or a team fight right from the ring, and the video stays with that result so you can find it later.

Team points belong to the team, not to its members. Team sparring, team combat, team sync forms and team sync weapons each have their own standing. The best five regional results and the best two national results count, one result per tournament. Teams are new in TKD Companion, and we would love to hear how they work for you.

Yes. The web app at companion.tkdringside.com runs in any browser — no download required.

Email support@tkdringside.com with the tournament name and date and we’ll get it in.

Yes. Rep Forge is free to start your practice: build your move bank, count your reps and practice your forms. Pro is for martial artists ready to grow, with an unlimited move bank and uploads to the community library.

No. They are separate apps with separate accounts. Neither one requires the other.

Yes — your move bank is yours to build, and you assemble your own forms from it. Pro members can also share to, and download from, the community library.
