Koaryu

For independent martial arts studios

Run the school.Teach the art.

Koaryu keeps the daily mess in one place, from first trial to next belt test. It's $27 a month for the whole studio, even when the kids class gets suspiciously popular.

Scroll once

Your studio is not a spreadsheet.

So why are the roster, belt ranks, trials, and payment notes still spread across five of them?

Very convenient! Right up until class starts...

Before the first class

Your morning is already sorted.

The people who need attention rise to the top. The rest can wait.

This morning

Six students haven't trained in 14 days. Nine leads need a reply. Eight classes across four programs are ready to go.

One operating loop

One update should do the rest of its job.

Take attendance once. Missed classes reach the follow-up list, and the student history is already there when promotion time comes.

Features

One student record. Imagine that.

Update a student once. The front desk and instructors see the same thing.

  • Student CRM

    Guardians, programs, notes, rank history, and billing follow the student. Exactly where you would look for them.

  • Rank Progression

    See the history behind the shortlist. The instructor still makes the call.

  • Schedule & Attendance

    Take attendance fast. Missed classes stop disappearing into a log.

  • Billing

    Stripe Connect, family payers, invoices, and failed payments stay tied to the right account.

Use Cases

The stuff that became your job is Koaryu’s now.

All five workflows
  • Switching from spreadsheets

    Bring over the roster now. Untangle the weird columns later.

  • Retention workflow

    A student misses enough classes to matter. Koaryu puts them on the list before they quietly disappear.

  • Trial conversion

    Inquiry, trial, notes, and follow-up stay together. Nobody has to remember which tab got the lead.

  • Tuition cleanup

    See missing payer details and overdue invoices before month-end gets awkward.

  • Test readiness

    Get a shortlist with the reasons attached. The instructor still decides.

Attendance with a point

Attendance should do more than sit there.

Missed classes become follow-up work. A steady streak stays with the student when promotion time comes.

One shared history

Now the roster knows what happened in class.

The front desk and instructors are looking at the same student history.

Pricing

Fill the mats. The price stays put.

About Koaryu

Built for the school you actually run.

Koaryu starts with one-location, owner-operated studios. If the org chart is three people and a group chat, enterprise gym software is a very weird fit.

Independent schools first
Koaryu starts with owner-operated and small-team studios.
Your data stays yours
Records stay scoped to the school that owns them.
Daily action beats dashboard theater
Koaryu shows what needs attention today, then gets out of the way.
Why Koaryu exists

Questions owners ask

Fit

Owner-operated martial arts schools with recurring memberships, rank progression, and a small staff.

No. Programs, ranks, guardians, trials, attendance, and promotions are built in. You do not have to fake them with custom fields.

Karate, taekwondo, jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, mixed programs, and family schools. Any structured program with progression fits.

Yes. Independent, one-location schools are the focus. Multi-location and franchise workflows are not the first priority.

Questions owners ask

Switching

Yes. Student-roster CSV import supports program and current-belt mapping.

Messy data is normal. Bring over the useful parts and clean up the rest as you go.

It depends on the roster and how much cleanup it needs. Start with programs, students, ranks, and attendance. The rest can follow.

The roster spreadsheet, lead tracker, attendance sheet, belt list, payment notes, and reminder pile.

Questions owners ask

Daily Use

That is the target. Rosters and attendance are meant to be quick from a laptop, tablet, or phone between classes.

Yes. Attendance can inform promotion readiness, inactivity alerts, and the student's history instead of dying in a separate log.

Yes. Keep kids, teens, adults, beginner tracks, and different disciplines separate without splitting the school into different systems.

Yes. Ordered ladders support class-count, time-at-rank, and instructor-approval requirements.

Yes. Source, notes, follow-up dates, and conversion history stay with the lead from inquiry through enrollment.

Questions owners ask

Pricing & Payments

Students, ranks, leads, attendance, billing, reports, and automations. One studio is $27 a month.

No. There are no per-student software tiers, so adding students does not raise the Koaryu subscription.

No. Stripe charges its payment-processing fees separately from the Koaryu subscription.

Koaryu works best with Stripe-connected billing. You can still use the rest of the platform before activating payments.

Koaryu is month to month.

Questions owners ask

Data & Access

The studio does. Records stay scoped to the school that owns them.

Yes. Admin, instructor, and front-desk roles keep financial settings and sensitive exports away from people who do not need them.

Student profiles account for youth programs with guardian contacts, emergency details, and staff permission boundaries.

Yes. Records are scoped and isolated by studio. One school should never see another school's data.

Questions owners ask

Roadmap

Koaryu is web-first. Fast rosters, attendance, and student lookup on phones and tablets come before a separate native app.

Maybe. SMS brings cost, compliance, and delivery headaches with it. Email automations come first.

No. Koaryu is built around records, schedules, attendance, billing, rules, and reports that behave the same way twice.

The product should be self-serve. Setup guidance, migration help, and direct support still matter for early studios making the switch.
