Martial Arts Schools Deserve Software That Works as Hard as They Do

Running a dojo means managing classes, tracking belt progressions, collecting payments, and staying in touch with students—all while teaching. Generic gym software doesn’t get it.

Zen Planner is purpose-built martial arts school software that simplifies your daily grind so you can focus on what matters: teaching and growing your community.

How Zen Planner Supports Martial Arts Schools and Academies

1. Class Scheduling That Fits Your Belt System
Customize your class offerings based on belt levels, age groups, or program types. Whether it’s kids’ karate, adult BJJ, or kickboxing, Zen Planner makes it easy for students to book and for staff to track attendance.

2. Built-In Belt & Rank Progression Tracking

Ditch the spreadsheets. Zen Planner lets you track each student’s rank, progress milestones, test history, and readiness—all inside their profile.

3. Dojo Billing Made Easy

Set up automated tuition payments, send reminders for failed payments, and manage family accounts—all with Zen Planner’s billing system.

4. CRM Tools That Keep Students Engaged

Zen Planner is a complete BJJ school CRM—helping you follow up with prospects, send class reminders, re-engage no-shows, and celebrate milestones automatically.
