Unlock Real Time and Cost Wins for Your School

Save 15-20 Hours Weekly on Admin Drudgery

Save 15-20 Hours Weekly on Admin Drudgery: Let's be honest, chasing confirmations for kids' karate belt tests eats your evenings. Our system automates it all—parents book via a simple link from your dojo's app, AI flags gi size conflicts instantly, and you get a weekly dashboard report showing exactly how much time you've reclaimed for leading extra sparring drills or family downtime, not endless spreadsheets.

Boost Retention with 30% Higher Attendance

Boost Retention with 30% Higher Attendance: Wasted spots from no-shows in taekwondo group classes? Not anymore. Picture this: smart nudges via text remind students to pack their dobok and review forms, like a personal sensei in their pocket. Schools using our custom setup see attendance spike within the first month, leading to faster rank promotions, stickier family memberships, and an extra $5,000-$10,000 in yearly revenue without extra marketing spend on flyers or social ads.

Cut Costs by Ditching Multiple Subscriptions

Cut Costs by Ditching Multiple Subscriptions: You're probably juggling those overlapping apps for class scheduling, payment gateways, and student progress trackers. We consolidate them into one owned system tailored for your yoga or MMA studio, slashing your monthly bills by up to 40%—that's $200-$500 back in your pocket. No more integration headaches—just efficient ops that scale seamlessly as your school grows from beginner flows to advanced black belt certifications.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, our front desk was swamped with calls during after-school rush hour—parents booking taekwondo trial classes left us missing walk-in families. Now, the AI handles 80% of bookings automatically through our branded app, and we've cut no-shows by half in just two months, freeing up slots for more sibling enrollments. It's like having an extra black belt assistant for admin without the payroll."

Mike Rivera

Owner, Dragon Kick Martial Arts Studio in Austin, TX

"I was skeptical about automating private judo sessions tied to our weekly technique drills, but their custom setup syncs perfectly with our belt progression tracker and even suggests reschedule times based on student availability. Saved us 12 hours a week on follow-ups, and students love the easy app-based rescheduling. Revenue from make-up sessions jumped 25% last quarter after integrating with our payment system—no exaggeration, it's transformed our retention."

Sarah Chen

Head Instructor, Summit Dojo Wellness Center in Seattle, WA

"Group classes were a nightmare with overlapping sign-ups for our intermediate MMA conditioning program during tournament prep. AIQ built a system that predicts busy nights using historical attendance data and auto-fills waitlists with targeted invites. We're retaining 20% more intermediate students now, and my team's actually excited about streamlined workflows instead of dreading the constant phone interruptions—huge morale boost."

Common Questions

How does this automation handle our unique class structures, like progressive belt levels?

Great question—we start by diving into your specific curriculum during the discovery phase. For instance, our AI can restrict bookings to appropriate levels, ensuring white belts don't sign up for advanced sparring. It's all custom-coded to your workflow, integrating with your student database so promotions automatically unlock new class options. No generic rules here; we build it to feel like an extension of your dojo's ethos, saving you from manual overrides and keeping members engaged on their journey.

What if we already use a scheduling app—can you integrate without starting over?

Absolutely, integration is our specialty. Say you're on something like Mindbody for fitness tracking; we create secure, two-way APIs to pull in class data and push bookings back seamlessly. This eliminates double-entry, like entering a new student's trial class once and having it sync everywhere. We've done this for dozens of martial arts schools, reducing setup time to under a week while ensuring no data loss. You're not ripping out what works—we enhance it for efficiency.

Will this help with reducing no-shows during busy parent pickup times?

Yes, and it's one of the biggest wins. Our system sends tiered reminders— a gentle nudge 48 hours out, then a confirmation request 24 hours before, tailored to each family's preferences. For a school like yours, this could cut no-shows by 40%, based on what we've seen in similar setups. Parents get easy reschedule options via app, and you get automated follow-ups to rebook. It's like having a vigilant front desk that never sleeps, freeing your team for what matters: inspiring the next generation of martial artists.

How much time will it really save my admin team each week?

Let's be realistic: for a mid-sized dojo with 200 members, expect 15-20 hours saved weekly. That's from automating confirmations, resolving conflicts, and generating reports—no more sifting through emails for tournament sign-ups. One client went from 25 hours of phone time to under 5, redirecting efforts to personalized student check-ins. We quantify this upfront with your current process audit, so you see the ROI before committing. Short term, it's immediate relief; long term, it's scalable growth without added headcount.

Is the system secure for handling student and parent information?

Security is non-negotiable, especially with kids' data in martial arts programs. We build with end-to-end encryption, GDPR-compliant storage, and role-based access—so only authorized staff see sensitive details like medical notes for classes. Regular audits and backups ensure nothing falls through the cracks, even during high-traffic periods like summer intensives. We've powered systems for wellness centers with similar needs, and clients rave about the peace of mind. Your data stays yours, protected like a guarded dojo scroll.

Can we scale this as our school grows to multiple locations?

Definitely—scalability is baked in from day one. We design the core AI to handle expanded rosters, syncing bookings across sites without manual tweaks. For example, a chain could book a guest instructor seminar visible dojo-wide, with auto-allocation to available mats. As you add branches, we optimize for load, preventing slowdowns during peak seasons. Our approach means you're not locked into pricey upgrades; it's modular, growing with your success story, just like advancing through dan ranks.
