For martial arts schools

Martial arts school software with a memory.

Class scheduling, family billing, and rank and promotion tracking, plus an IGNIFY™ progress record after every class that shows families exactly how their student is advancing toward the next belt.

The week you actually run.

The frictions generic booking software was never shaped for, where studios quietly lose time and families.

Belt tests, tracked on paper

Promotion criteria, readiness and test prep live in a binder and your head, re-built from memory every cycle.

Retention you can't see coming

A student stops progressing, a parent stops seeing value, and they quit before anything told you something was wrong.

Attendance as a checkbox

Your software treats class attendance as check-in and out. To you, it's the clearest signal of who's about to drop.

Many programs, one operation

Kids and adults, BJJ and karate, after-school and weekends: different schedules, one school to run.

The record

The lesson stops disappearing.

After every class, IGNI drafts a short record the family reads. Rank readiness is fed by that record plus attendance, not a binder you update by hand.

Recap

What the class drilled this session, in plain language for the family at home.

Report

What the instructor noticed: stance, guard, control, the technical detail that earns the next stripe.

Memory

What to practice before next class, so progress continues off the mat.

Story

Readiness for the next belt or test, and the path the student is on toward it.

Attendance as a retention signal

See who's missed two weeks running and might be about to quit, before the parent decides for you.

Family progress records

Parents see the curriculum journey, so they understand exactly what they're paying for and stay enrolled.

Questions martial arts studios ask.

Does it track belts and promotion criteria?

Yes. Belts, stripes and promotion criteria are carried automatically and fed by the lesson record plus attendance, so readiness for the next test is visible without a binder.

How are belt tests and events managed?

Promotions, tournaments and seminars are run inside IGNIFY, with each student's readiness visible in advance so test day isn't a scramble.

Can I migrate my rank data from Kicksite or Zen Planner?

Yes. We move your students, ranks and history over by hand, so switching takes about a week and you keep every record.

Does it work for both kids and adult programs?

Yes. Kids and adults, multiple disciplines and locations run as one operation, each with its own schedule and billing under one roster.

How does the progress record help retention?

When a parent sees, every week, how their child is advancing toward the next belt, they understand the value and stay. Attendance trends also flag a student who's drifting before they quit.
