The "Dojo Knowledge Drain" Problem
Instructors bogged down by endless questions on class schedules and gi uniform policies during peak hours, like after-school rushes
New students frustrated waiting for basic info on colored belt testing requirements, leading to 20% drop-offs before their first kata session
Coaches spending weekends updating outdated handouts for poomsae techniques and mat safety protocols, pulling them from family time and recovery rest
Parents bombarding the front desk with queries on trial class logistics, like what to bring for a beginner's striking warm-up, overwhelming staff and delaying enrollments
Seasoned black belts forgetting nuanced rules on tournament prep, like weight class hydration guidelines, causing last-minute scrambles before regional events
High turnover from inconsistent answers on membership perks and cancellation policies across multiple dojos, eroding trust in group class commitments

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Real Time and Cost Wins for Your Dojo
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly on Admin Drudgery
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly on Admin Drudgery: Picture this: Instead of your lead instructor fielding the same 'What's the gi dress code for kids' judo class?' questions five times a day during evening peaks, your AI handles it in seconds with tailored responses. That's hours back for perfecting those grappling drills or planning family wellness nights. Owners report a 30% productivity boost in dojo operations, turning wasted time into focused partner drills that keep members engaged and injury-free.
Drive 25% Higher Retention Through Instant Answers
Drive 25% Higher Retention Through Instant Answers: Retention in martial arts is all about that seamless experience—like a well-executed roundhouse kick combo. Our system delivers personalized responses on belt progression paths or common injury prevention tips for high kicks, reducing confusion that leads to quits. One school saw drop-off rates halve within two months after implementation, with members raving about the 'always-on' support that feels like an extension of the dojo's black belt mentorship.
Cut Overhead Costs by 35% with Smarter Efficiency
Cut Overhead Costs by 35% with Smarter Efficiency: No more paying staff overtime to man the phones during open mat sessions or local tournaments. This custom build scales with your growth, handling spikes in queries on nutrition for fighters without extra hires. It's a direct ROI hit: less manual work means more revenue from private lesson upsells, with one owner calculating a payback in under three months through freed-up resources for equipment maintenance.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our front desk was swamped every evening with questions about yellow belt testing dates and what forms to practice—it was killing our training vibe. Now, the AI pulls up exact schedules, poomsae prep tips, and even video links instantly. We've saved about 12 hours a week on admin, and our retention jumped 15% because parents aren't left hanging during busy after-school sign-ups. It's like adding a staff member without the paycheck."
Mike Rivera
Head Instructor, Dragon Fist Martial Arts Dojo
"I was skeptical at first—thought it'd be some generic bot that didn't get taekwondo specifics. But they built it around our curriculum, from white belt stances to black belt sparring forms. Queries on safety protocols during post-COVID group classes? Handled flawlessly with updated hygiene tips. Cut our email backlog in half within a month, and my coaches are actually getting home before 9 PM now to recharge for morning sessions."
Sarah Kim
Owner, Apex Taekwondo Academy
"We run three locations, and keeping info consistent on tournament rules—like division placements and gear requirements—was a nightmare across our dojos. After six weeks with their system, everything's unified with quick app access for members checking warm-up routines. Members love it, and we've seen a 20% uptick in annual renewals for family packages. Honestly, it's transformed how we operate without feeling robotic—now we focus on technique workshops."

Simple 3-Step Process

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this differ from free knowledge base tools like Notion?
Free tools are great for static notes, but they're not built for the dynamic queries in a martial arts school—like pulling live schedule updates or personalized belt advice. We create a custom AI that actively learns from your dojo's data, integrates with your booking system, and provides conversational answers. Think of it as evolving from a basic journal to a smart sparring partner. Schools using our solution report 50% faster info retrieval, without the manual tagging hassles. Plus, it's owned by you, no monthly fees eating into tuition revenue.
What kind of time savings can a small dojo expect?
For a typical school with 100-200 members, you're looking at 10-15 hours saved weekly. That's instructors not repeating uniform rules or class etiologies, and front desk staff freed from parental inquiries during peak times. One client, a taekwondo academy, went from 20 hours of weekly admin to under 5, redirecting energy to membership drives. The ROI kicks in fast—often within 2-3 months—by reducing staff overtime and improving class fill rates through better experiences.
Is the AI secure for sensitive student info like progress reports?
Absolutely, security is non-negotiable in our builds, especially with member data like belt histories or medical notes. We use enterprise-grade encryption and role-based permissions, so only authorized eyes see personal details—much like controlled access in your dojo. It's compliant with standards like GDPR for any international students. We've audited systems for wellness clients, ensuring no breaches during high-use periods like grading season. Peace of mind means you focus on teaching, not worrying about data slips.
How long does it take to set up for our specific curriculum?
From kickoff to launch, it's usually 4-6 weeks for a custom fit. We start by auditing your materials—curriculum PDFs, video libraries, policy docs—then train the AI on your terminology, from judo throws to karate katas. Testing involves real scenarios, like querying tournament rules. Unlike cookie-cutter setups, this tailored process ensures it aligns with your teaching philosophy. Post-launch, we provide a quick team huddle to get everyone up to speed, minimizing any disruption to your class schedule.
Can it handle multiple locations or franchise models?
Yes, we design for scalability across branches, centralizing knowledge while allowing location-specific tweaks—like varying class times or regional rules. The AI syncs updates in real-time, so a policy change at HQ ripples out instantly. A multi-site karate network we worked with unified their bases, cutting cross-location confusion by 60% and saving coordinators hours on manual syncs. It's built to grow with you, whether adding a new strip mall spot or franchising statewide.
What if our members prefer talking to people over AI?
We get that—martial arts is personal, like a one-on-one mentorship. Our system acts as a first-line helper for routine stuff, like 'When's the next weapons class?' then seamlessly hands off complex queries to staff with full context. This hybrid approach boosts efficiency without losing the human touch. Clients note a 25% drop in low-level interruptions, letting instructors build deeper connections during sessions. It's empowering, not replacing, your team's relational strengths.
