The "Data Blindspot" Problem
Scattered attendance logs from paper sign-ins and multiple apps leaving you blind to no-show patterns in martial arts classes, like beginners skipping white belt drills
Manual tracking of belt promotions causing delays in student advancement and frustration during testing cycles, such as yellow belt assessments running weeks behind
Inability to see engagement dips in group classes, like fading energy in yoga flows or kickboxing circuits, leading to higher dropout rates after introductory sessions
Siloed payment and membership data preventing quick identification of at-risk renewals before they lapse, especially for seasonal wellness packages like summer bootcamps
Lack of instructor performance metrics, making it hard to address burnout or uneven teaching quality across sessions, from high-intensity HIIT to restorative yoga
No clear view of referral trends from current students, missing opportunities to grow your dojo organically through buddy invites for group fitness challenges
Custom-Built Dashboards Tailored for Your Dojo
We've helped over 50 martial arts schools replace fragmented tools with unified systems that drive retention and growth
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, running a martial arts school means juggling belts, belts, and more belts—plus attendance sheets, payment reminders, and student feedback. You're probably thinking, "How do I keep everyone progressing without drowning in spreadsheets?" At AIQ Labs, we build custom dashboards that pull all your data into one clear view. No more flying blind through enrollment slumps or class overbooks. We integrate your existing systems—like Mindbody or custom CRM—with real-time feeds for attendance, progress tracking, and retention signals. It's like having a sensei for your data, guiding decisions that keep students hooked and your school strong.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Clear Visibility That Powers Your Dojo's Success
Spot Retention Risks Early
Spot Retention Risks Early: Get instant alerts on students missing three sessions in a row, so you can intervene with personalized check-ins tailored to their belt level or wellness goals. Schools using our dashboards see a 25% drop in dropouts by addressing issues before they escalate—think of it as preventive sparring for membership loyalty, with one dojo reducing lapses in beginner yoga classes by half in three months.
Optimize Class Schedules Dynamically
Optimize Class Schedules Dynamically: Track peak attendance times and belt-level distributions to fine-tune your timetable, adjusting for high-energy kickboxing peaks or calm Pilates lulls. No more empty beginner classes or overcrowded advanced ones. One school shifted their kids' sessions by 30 minutes and boosted enrollment by 15% in just two months, filling spots in family wellness programs.
Drive Instructor Excellence
Drive Instructor Excellence: Monitor teaching feedback and progression rates per instructor, highlighting stars and areas for growth in sessions like bootcamp circuits or meditation guides. It's like a digital black belt review, helping you balance workloads and improve overall session quality without endless meetings—leading to 20% higher student satisfaction scores in under six months.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, I was piecing together attendance from emails and notes—total chaos during tournament season when kids miss kata practices. Now, I see exactly which students are lagging on techniques, and we've cut our no-shows by 40% in six months, keeping white belt momentum strong. It's a game-changer for maintaining dojo energy."
Mike Chen
Owner of Dragon Fist Martial Arts in Seattle, WA
"Our old system couldn't track family sign-ups properly, so we'd lose touch with siblings who could join sibling yoga or taekwondo sessions. The custom setup from AIQ flags these opportunities automatically, and we've added 12 new family packages this year alone, growing our wellness community effortlessly. Honestly, it's like they read our dojo's mind."
Sarah Lopez
Head Instructor at Apex Dojo Academy in Austin, TX
"I was spending weekends reconciling payments and progress reports for belt tests and group fitness challenges. This dashboard integrates everything, and now I focus on teaching. Retention jumped from 70% to 88% after we started using the engagement metrics to tweak our intro kickboxing classes over the last quarter."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your custom dashboards integrate with my current martial arts management software?
We start by auditing your setup—whether it's something like Jackrabbit or a custom CRM—and build secure, two-way API connections. This pulls in data like attendance and payments without disrupting your flow. For one dojo, we linked their legacy system in under a week, giving them live views of student progress. No data loss, just seamless unity. It's all custom-coded for reliability, so you avoid the breakage common in plug-and-play tools. We'll handle the tech; you focus on teaching.
What specific KPIs will the dashboard track for my martial arts school?
We tailor KPIs to your dojo's rhythm: things like student retention rates over 90-day cycles, average time to next belt, class fill rates by level, and dropout risks from missed sessions. Imagine seeing a graph of how many white belts stick around after their first month. We also include instructor-specific metrics, like progression speed per group. Based on your goals, we prioritize 5-7 core ones, updated in real-time. Schools report making faster scheduling tweaks, boosting overall engagement by spotting trends early.
How long does it take to build and launch a custom dashboard?
Typically 4-6 weeks from our initial chat to full rollout, depending on your data complexity. We kick off with a deep dive into your operations—belt testing schedules, class types—then prototype in 2 weeks for your feedback. Coding and testing follow, with training at launch. One school went live in 28 days and immediately saw clearer retention patterns. We're efficient because we build once, right for you, avoiding the endless tweaks of templated solutions.
Is the dashboard secure for handling student data in a martial arts context?
Absolutely— we prioritize privacy with enterprise-grade encryption and compliance like GDPR for any personal info on ages or progress. Your data stays in a secure, owned system, not scattered across vendor clouds. For dojos with kids' programs, we add role-based access so only authorized staff see sensitive details. We've audited systems for 20+ fitness clients, ensuring no breaches during high-traffic events like seminars. Peace of mind means you can trust it like your own dojo keys.
Can I access the dashboard on mobile while running classes?
Yes, we design it fully responsive for phones and tablets, so you can glance at attendance or alerts mid-session without missing a beat. Think quick checks on who's arriving late for warm-ups. It's optimized for the chaos of a dojo floor—large fonts, swipe navigation. Instructors at partner schools use it to log feedback on the spot, cutting end-of-day admin by hours. No clunky desktop-only vibes here; it's built for your mobile, on-the-go reality.
What if my dojo grows— will the dashboard scale with us?
We engineer for growth from day one, using scalable frameworks that handle 10 students or 500 without a hitch. As you add branches or online classes, we expand modules—like multi-location views for attendance. One expanding school scaled from 150 to 400 members seamlessly, with no performance dips during peak registration. Unlike rigid tools, ours adapts via simple updates, keeping costs predictable and insights sharp as your black belts multiply.
