For martial arts school owners and their teams

Built for the way a martial arts school runs

Some owners teach one program in one room. Others run several locations. Sidekick MAS is martial arts school management software for the team that keeps a school going.

Schools with more than one location

Add locations and switch between them, with records and staff access kept per location.

The problems it solves

Attendance on paper

A check-in kiosk and class rosters record who trained. Promotion eligibility is counted from that same record.

Guessing who is ready to test

Set your ranks and requirements. Sidekick MAS then shows who has the time in rank for their next belt. Every class they trained is on their record.

Chasing signatures

Send waivers and agreements as a link. Families sign online, and the signed copy stays on file.

Messages scattered across phones

Email and text members from Sidekick MAS. When a parent replies, the message lands in a shared inbox your team can see.
