Your Students Are Important To You
The relationships between a martial arts instructor and their students are at the foundation
of a successful dojo. You value their input and do everything you can to help build them up
into the strong, talented martial artists of tomorrow. Suffice it to say, when you see an area
for improvement, you do everything you can to help your students along the way.

But more and more instructors are losing valuable time with students to the tasks required
to operate a business. You became an instructor to teach martial arts to others, not to sign
papers, send out invoices, or answer e-mail in your limited spare time. Sometimes it feels
like there aren’t enough hours in the day to take care of everything, but with a small team,
you’ve been feeling the pressure to finish everything.

To avoid burn out, you’ve been exploring your options. You could hire another staff member
to take care of the front desk, but you must weigh the costs heavily to see if you can afford
it. Perhaps you have thought of closing your school during hours when you aren’t leading
classes. But, at the end of the day, you want to start building on top of the success you’ve
found so far, not cut back on your services.

The Modern Martial Arts Industry
Martial arts have a rich history of tradition and structure, which has grown and evolved
with the ages to adapt to new trends.

Did you know that, every year, about 3.9 million Americans take martial arts classes? As
you know, this field is highly competitive, and is only getting more so. Statistics from IBIS
World report that that over 80,500 martials arts businesses in the United States made $5
billion in the year 2019. This industry employs 90,000 people and has seen a consistent
growth rate each year from 2014 to 2019.

In general, most, if not all, forms of martial arts are on the rise, but the boom of mixed
martial arts classes is of particular interest. About 35% of people who show interest in
martial arts participate in mixed martial arts classes. The market for equipment for MMA is
expected to reach $565 million by the year 2022, alone.

In such a competitive industry, it has never been a better time to operate a martial arts
school, but it has also never been a more challenging time to stand out against the rest,
or to spend more quality time with your students.

Many people think of martials arts as an area deeply rooted in tradition and structure.
While there are numerous ways martial arts remains as familiar as ever, it has also
shifted and evolved with the times.

Technology has played a huge role in helping optimize everyday processes in numerous
industries, not just martial arts. With these changes, businesses have taken advantage
of technology to become more productive and save more time, positively impacting their
bottom line.

One of the greatest technological advancements for businesses has been member
management software.

How Could It Help Your School?
Member management software (MMS) has many benefits, and there are
many ways that it can help you get a head start on building more meaningful
relationships with your students. The first, biggest reason that this software helps
martial arts schools is because it frees up the instructor’s time, so they can spend
more of it with their students. However, it goes much further than that.
