How a Martial Arts / MMA Academy Runs on TuitionDesk — Belts, Batches, Gear & Fees

A real walkthrough of martial arts academy software in action: batches by discipline and belt level, dojo-mat bookings that never clash, geo-tagged instructor check-in, belt progression badges, sparring-gear rental, and fee plans that cover tuition and gear together.

The day-to-day workflow

01

Set Up Your Academy in Minutes

Pick Martial Arts Academy as your institute type during setup, then create batches by discipline, age group, and belt level — BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA, kids, adults, and more.

02

Never Double-Book the Mat

Assign a dojo-mat Venue to every session, so two batches can never be scheduled onto the same mat at the same time.

03

Run Mat Classes and Online Technique Breakdowns

Set each session's mode to offline for mat classes with geo-tagged instructor check-in, or online for theory and technique-breakdown sessions on Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams.

04

Geo-Tagged Instructor Check-In

Instructors check in and check out of every in-person session from their phone, and TuitionDesk records exactly where that check-in happened.

05

Belt and Rank Progression, Tracked Per Student

Define custom belt and rank levels with your own badge icon for each one, and award them to students as they test up — a visible progression record for kids and adults alike.

06

Rent Sparring Gear to Members and Walk-Ins

List sparring gear, pads, and uniforms as rentable Equipment with date-range bookings, so members and walk-in trial students can rent what they need instead of buying it.

07

Fee Plans for Tuition and Gear

Set up monthly tuition fee plans with optional gear-rental add-ons, so a student's tuition and their equipment rental show up on the same fee record.

08

Parents and Adult Members See Progress in Their Portal

Parents of kids in class use the parent portal and adult members use the member portal to see attendance and belt progress, without calling the front desk.

09

New Students Book a Trial Class on Your Public Site

Your academy gets a free public website where visitors can browse batches and book a trial class directly, before they ever create an account.

10

Reminders and Belt-Test Announcements

Push, WhatsApp, and email reminders go out before every class, and belt-test announcements reach every parent and member automatically.

11

Reports by Discipline

Attendance and revenue reports roll up by discipline, so you can see how BJJ, Muay Thai, and MMA batches are each performing side by side.
