Quiet software for a disciplined dojang.
Kyu and dan ranks, weapons classes, and seminars — NextKick keeps the records and the billing in order so you can keep your attention on the practice.
No contracts · No setup fees · Free data migration
Kyu → Dan, tracked automatically
Built for an art without a scoreboard
Most gym software assumes competition — brackets, records, fight stats. Aikido doesn't work that way, and neither does the version of NextKick your dojang uses. Progress is measured by testing and time on the mat, not wins. Ranks advance through your grading requirements, seminars are scheduled as their own events, and everything else — attendance, tuition, communication — simply stays out of the way.
Everything a dojang runs on
Kyu & dan rank tracking
Configure your rank structure, track each student's grade, and record promotion dates and testing results on a permanent profile.
Student & family accounts
Attendance, rank history, and billing status for every member, grouped by family so nothing slips through.
Tuition & keikogi fees on autopilot
Recurring tuition, testing and keikogi charges, and automatic reminders — no more chasing payments.
Weapons & randori scheduling
Beginner, weapons, and advanced randori classes on separate schedules, with app check-in and live attendance.
Aikido dojang questions
Can NextKick handle kyu and dan rank promotions?
Yes. Configure your dojang's exact rank structure, track each student's current kyu or dan level, schedule testing, and record results automatically against your own system.
We don't compete. Is NextKick still built for us?
Absolutely. Aikido has no tournaments, and NextKick doesn't force any. Ranks advance through testing and attendance — no competition record, brackets, or fight data anywhere.
Can I schedule weapons and randori classes separately?
Yes. Beginner, weapons (bokken and jo), and advanced randori classes each get their own schedule, capacity, and app check-in.
How does tuition billing work for aikido students?
NextKick handles recurring monthly tuition, family discounts, and testing or keikogi fees. Payments process automatically and members receive receipts in the app.
Does NextKick work for dojangs with multiple locations?
Yes. Multi-location dojangs get consolidated reporting, shared student profiles, and centralized billing from one dashboard.
