We provide completely free and unlimited access to Club Manager by BMABA to all clubs of up to 16 students in size. Thereafter, we offer vast discounts on the non-BMABA price, making it as close to free as possible and substantially less than the competition.

We’ve been helping martial arts clubs of all sizes and styles grow since 2012.

We’re proud to be the first association of our kind to provide software like this completely free of charge for any club with up to 16 active students, to help support start-ups and small clubs.

Member’s Only Content

Easily create members only content, and set permissions to easily control which membership level can access it. You can make it exclusively available to very specific groups – perhaps VIP members, or Black Belts only – or you can open it up to everyone registered with your school. The perfect way to share articles, content and news.

You can show availability, remaining places and class details to your students before booking, and once booked on both you and they will be able to see their classes on the student dashboard and the class roster.

Attendance Tracking

As the saying goes, ‘data is king’ and understanding attendance throughout your different classes and days is crucial. Our management system makes attendance tracking super-simple. You can decide whether to, by default, log somebody as present or absent. Thereafter, there’s a clean, easy to use dashboard with simple toggles for you to easily manage attendance in one place.

Membership Management

Possibly one of the most important features for many clubs is membership management. The ability to see all of your students in one place with a simple overview that outlines who’s active, attendance, remaining classes and so on with a full profile behind that which will confirm date of birth, classes, metrics and other core details.

Instructor & Student Dashboards

Access key metrics you need to understand your club’s current position from the instructor dashboard. Likewise, students can see an overview of their membership and activity, as well as a class scheduler direct from their secure dashboard.

Easy, Stunning Grade Progression

We know a massive issue for clubs is grade progression. Our software allows you to build a completely unlimited number of custom belt schedules, and assign them to individual lessons or styles. You set the attendance needed to be considered ready to grade, and our software tracks it for you. You’ll see progression in real-time via an easy to read grade dashboard. We even flag those eligible to progress on the homepage, too. You can increase or decrease time required at any time to fine-tune student performance.

Timetables & Scheduling

Offer easy to use class schedules which parents and students will love. View by month, week, day or list. Clicking on a class shows the number of remaining places, as well as details of the class itself. Student can book on with just a single click, and instructors can see who’s scheduled to attend, too.
