Real Owner Voices

Hear from school owners who have transformed their operations and growth with NextKick.

We've been using MAS9 for our Taekwondo school, and it has truly simplified how we run our business. What we like most is that everything is in one place. Student management, billing, belt testing, staff tools, student and parent app, website, and even marketing support. Before MAS9, we were using multiple systems that did not connect well, which created extra work at the front desk. Now everything is organized and our daily operations run much smoother. One of the biggest advantages for us is the Korean speaking customer service. Communication is clear and fast, and they truly understand how Taekwondo schools operate. This makes a huge difference, especially when setting things up or asking detailed questions. MAS9 is clearly built for martial arts schools, not generic software. We highly recommend it to school owners who want one platform that covers everything with reliable support.

We've had a great experience using NextKick to help manage our martial arts school. The software is intuitive, reliable, and has made day-to-day operations much more organized. From attendance tracking and student management to scheduling and communication to Face ID that you can't find in most martial arts platforms, everything is easy to access in one place. The onboarding process was smooth, and the support team has always been responsive whenever we've had questions or needed assistance. It's clear they're continually improving the platform and listening to customer feedback. Overall, NextKick has helped streamline our operations and save time, allowing us to focus more on our students and less on administrative work.

NextKick is one of the easiest software platforms I've ever used. Throughout my career, I've worked in accounting, e-commerce, education, and several other industries, and most software systems I've encountered were complicated, required frequent maintenance downtime, and came with expensive monthly subscription fees. In contrast, NextKick is simple, intuitive, and straightforward while providing everything gym owners need to manage their business effectively. Their customer support is exceptional—the staff is always kind, knowledgeable, and responsive. Whenever I have a question, I typically receive a response within one or two hours, whether I contact them by text or email. I highly recommend NextKick to gym owners and martial arts school owners.

Really enjoying NextKick (formerly MAS9) as my martial arts software. The student and admin apps for your phone allow easy communication between parents and the school. The online store available through the app makes it really easy for students and parents to purchase gear. The communication from NextKick is really great. Fast and very willing to listen to ideas for improvement.

The auto billing and payment error follow-up alone probably saves me a few hours a month—I'm not chasing parents down about failed cards anymore. Setting up events for rank testing is so much easier too; I set it up once and students sign up themselves in the app instead of me texting everyone individually. The auto-generated certificates and scoring papers save even more time. Support has been really good, they'll actually pick up the phone or text back. We also switched partly because of the fees—credit card processing and the overall monthly cost were both lower than what I was paying with my old setup of separate billing and management software.

I really like NextKick for its student tracking and management features for my Taekwondo school. The billing system is particularly great as it makes it easy to collect and schedule monthly membership payments. The belt testing system is also a standout because it allows me to create and send or print certificates immediately and share evaluation scores for students. Additionally, the member app is a big plus, as it lets students practice with our curriculum videos, sign up for events, and buy merchandise from home. I also appreciate the awesome customer support and how quickly they update things. The initial setup was pretty easy with their help on data transfer, and I find the features better and more powerful than those of Kicksite and AMS, with a better user experience than Spark.
