How the Recommendation Algorithm Works
The For You feed is powered by a personalisation engine that learns from your belt level, technique history, watch time, saves, follows, and the patterns of athletes with similar profiles.
Belt level matching25%
Reels tagged for your belt level appear first. As you progress, the algorithm adjusts automatically.
Technique interest22%
Techniques you have saved, watched fully, or searched for are weighted heavily in what you see.
Watch completion rate20%
Reels you watch to the end signal strong interest. Skipping in the first 5 seconds sends the opposite signal.
Creator relationship15%
Reels from creators you follow, like regularly, or have enrolled with appear more frequently.
Trending in your style10%
Reels trending within your declared style (Shotokan, Kyokushin, Goju-ryu, etc.) get a boost in your feed.
Save and share actions8%
Saving or sharing a reel is the highest positive signal you can send — the algorithm weights it strongly.
Privacy note: Recommendation data is processed on-platform only. No data is sold or shared with third-party advertisers. You can reset your preference profile at any time in account settings.
