The Challenge

Replacing oversized software with a system built around the club.

Kaisho Martial Arts needed a practical database without the unnecessary complexity and expense often found in large off-the-shelf club-management platforms.

01

Too many unused features

Many available systems contained extensive functionality that the club did not need, making them complicated and poor value for money.

02

Two operating locations

Student, class and membership information needed to remain organised across Harpenden and St Albans.

03

A system that could grow

The club needed a platform that could start with its essential requirements and gain new features over time.

The Solution

One central platform for students, classes and administration.

The Club Management System was created around the practical needs of Kaisho Martial Arts, with a focused set of tools and the flexibility to add further functionality as the club develops.

Every student is registered within the same system. This gives authorised users a consistent and accessible record across both Harpenden and St Albans, while class, membership and location details remain connected within one platform.

5-Star Trustpilot Review
“I have been running a martial arts business for nearly 20 years and had been looking for a database for my business. When I started looking, I found systems with too much information. You pay a lot of money and only use about 10% of it. I found Wayne, told him what I was looking for and, within a few weeks, he put something together for exactly what I needed. It has been great for my business, and there are lots more things I am having added.”
