Frequently Asked Questions
What is martial arts software?
Martial arts software is a management platform built specifically for martial arts schools, martial arts schools, and gyms. It handles student enrollment, belt rank tracking, tuition billing, class scheduling, and parent communication — all in one system. Unlike generic gym software, martial arts software understands the rank structures, testing traditions, and family dynamics unique to martial arts schools.
What makes NextKick different from other martial arts software?
NextKick is the only martial arts software that combines school management, a branded student app, a professional website, AI-powered tools, and marketing automation in a single platform. Most competitors require you to stitch together multiple tools. NextKick is built specifically for martial arts schools — not adapted from generic gym or fitness software.
Which martial arts styles does NextKick support?
NextKick supports all martial arts styles including taekwondo, BJJ, jiu-jitsu, karate, MMA, muay thai, kung fu, judo, hapkido, and more. The rank system is fully configurable to match any school's belt structure — from white to black belt and every degree in between.
How much does martial arts software cost?
NextKick starts at $150/month with no per-student fees and no setup costs. All plans include member management, billing, class scheduling, the student app, and live support. The bigger your school grows, the more value you get — without paying more.
Can I switch from Kicksite, Spark, or another martial arts software?
Yes. NextKick includes free data migration from any platform — Kicksite, Spark Martial Arts, Mindbody, Zen Planner, or anything else. Our team handles the full transfer of your student records, billing data, and history so nothing is lost.
Does NextKick work for multi-location martial arts schools?
Yes. Multi-location schools get consolidated reporting across all locations, shared student profiles, and centralized billing — all managed from one dashboard. Franchise networks can also manage branding and permissions across locations.
Is there a mobile app for students and parents?
Yes. Every NextKick school gets a branded mobile app available on iOS and Android. Students and parents use it to view class schedules, check belt rank progress, pay tuition, and receive push notifications from the school.
In short
NextKick is martial arts software for schools of any style. It holds your rank system exactly, bills families rather than individuals, prices flat per location instead of per student, answers the phone when something breaks, and migrates your data for free.
How to choose martial arts software
Most schools evaluating martial arts software compare feature lists, sign up for the one with the longest one, and discover six months later that the mismatch was structural rather than featural. The questions below separate software that was built for martial arts schools from software that was built for gyms and sold to martial arts schools.
Key takeaways
- Can it hold your rank system, exactly?
- Is the billing unit a family or an individual?
- Is pricing flat or per student?
- What happens when something breaks on a Saturday?
- Who moves your data?
Can it hold your rank system, exactly?
Not 'does it support belts' — can you define your own order, your own names, stripes or tips if you use them, and have it track every student against that structure permanently? If rank is a custom text field, everything downstream (testing eligibility, promotion history, parent-facing progress) is a manual process.
Is the billing unit a family or an individual?
Children's martial arts is a family business. If three siblings cannot share one invoice, one card, and one automatic discount, your front desk will spend hours a month on something the software should have done.
Is pricing flat or per student?
Per-student pricing means every enrollment you work for raises your software bill. Flat pricing means growth is free on that line. Over a few years of growth this is often larger than any feature difference.
What happens when something breaks on a Saturday?
Billing problems are time-critical and they do not respect business hours. Phone support answered by someone who knows what a testing cycle is, versus a ticket queue, is the difference school owners consistently rate highest after switching.
Who moves your data?
Migration is where switches fail. Ask whether the vendor exports, loads, and reconciles your students, ranks, attendance, and active billing plans for you, and whether they run both systems in parallel through a full billing cycle before cutting over.
NextKick is $150/mo flat, built only for martial arts schools, with migration handled by our team and no contract. If you are weighing it against a specific platform, the comparison pages walk through each one feature by feature.
