Elevate the Student Experience with Mat-Side Technology

The perceived value of your academy is directly linked to the student experience. By using smart TV panels, you transform your space into a high-performance training center.

Why use TVs on the mat?

Visual feedback is a powerful gamification tool. When students see their names climbing the leaderboard or the remaining time of an intense round, motivation skyrockets.

What to display on the screens?

  • **Round Timers:** Essential for HIIT and sparring sessions.
  • **Live Rankings:** Showcase the most consistent students or those with the most progress.
  • **Announcements:** Communicate belt promotions and events without interrupting class.

Implementation Steps

1. **Hardware:** Choose a 50-inch or larger Smart TV with an articulated wall mount. 2. **Connectivity:** Ensure a stable Wi-Fi connection on the mat. 3. **Software:** Use Dojo10 to project dynamic dashboards integrated with your management system. 4. **Placement:** Install the TV at an angle where all students can see without obstructing training flow.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • **Information Overload:** Keep the design clean and focused.
  • **Glare/Brightness:** Adjust settings for your gym's lighting.
  • **Manual Updates:** If the ranking isn't automated, it loses credibility.

How Dojo10 solves this

Dojo10 automates data display. The dashboard syncs with student check-ins and attendance, updating the leaderboard automatically on the screen without any manual effort.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the ideal TV size for the mat?

We recommend at least 50 inches to ensure visibility in medium-sized academies.

Do I need a computer connected to the TV?

With Dojo10, you can use a streaming device like a Chromecast or Fire Stick, or the Smart TV's built-in browser.

Does this distract students?

On the contrary, when properly configured, the panel focuses attention on round times and goals, increasing training intensity.
