The "Dojo Data Chaos" Problem
Chasing scattered attendance logs from handwritten sign-in sheets at the dojo door and forgotten mobile check-in apps during busy class transitions
Blind to which belt levels are stalling in taekwondo or jiu-jitsu progressions, leading to frustrated students quitting mid-cycle before achieving their next stripe
No clear view of retention drops after introductory trial classes, missing chances to hook new students into ongoing black belt programs or family wellness packages
Instructors teaching to empty mats in the studio because schedules don't match peak energy times for high-energy kids' taekwondo sessions or evening adult yoga flows
Guessing at revenue dips from seasonal slumps, like post-holiday lulls hitting family enrollments in group fitness or kids' martial arts programs
Overlooking gear sales trends for dojo uniforms, sparring gloves, and wellness accessories, leaving money on the mat from unpurchased essentials
Our Custom KPI Dashboards Give You Dojo Command
We've built scalable tracking systems for over 50 wellness spots, turning raw punches and kicks data into strategies that keep dojos packed.
Why Choose Us
Here's the thing: running a martial arts school is like sparring in the dark without knowing your opponent's moves. Our custom dashboards at AIQ Labs pull everything together—student progress, class vibes, even gear checkouts—into one unified view. We ditch the subscription mess of half-baked apps and craft a owned system that scales as your school grows from local studio to multi-location powerhouse. You're probably thinking, 'Can this really handle my growing roster?' Absolutely. It's built on solid engineering, not fragile patches, so you make decisions fast: promote that promising white belt or tweak adult kickboxing times to boost sign-ups. Let's be honest, visibility like this isn't just data—it's your edge in retaining warriors who stick around for the long haul.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Growth Without the Guesswork
Boost Retention by Pinpointing Drop-Offs
Boost Retention by Pinpointing Drop-Offs: See exactly where students fade—like after yellow belt tests in taekwondo—and intervene with targeted drills, personalized coaching, or family wellness discounts. Schools using our dashboards report 30% higher renewal rates within 6 months, turning one-time trial participants into lifelong black belt practitioners.
Optimize Schedules Like a Pro Sparring Match
Optimize Schedules Like a Pro Sparring Match: Track peak times for energetic kids' taekwondo versus restorative evening jiu-jitsu or yoga for adults, filling mats that used to sit empty during off-peak hours. One dojo shifted classes based on energy data and saw attendance jump 40% in just 3 months, adding $15K in yearly revenue without extra marketing spend.
Drive Promotions and Revenue with Clear Metrics
Drive Promotions and Revenue with Clear Metrics: Monitor belt progression speeds in martial arts programs and tie them to upsells like private sessions or wellness workshops. Instructors get real-time feedback on their teaching impact, leading to faster student advancements and happier participants who refer friends—our clients average 22% more enrollments quarter-over-quarter, with many converting trials to full-year commitments.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, I was buried in Excel sheets trying to figure out why our adult Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes were only half-full on weeknights. Now, with real-time attendance tracking, I can adjust schedules on the fly—last quarter, we filled every slot by shifting to peak energy times and kept 15 more students from dropping out after their blue belt test."
Marcus Lee
Owner, Dragon Fist Martial Arts Academy in Seattle
"Our school was growing fast, but we had no idea which instructors were really connecting with the kids during taekwondo belt progressions. The KPI tracking revealed engagement patterns, so we reassigned classes to match teaching styles—boom, retention jumped 28% in just six months, and parents are now raving about their kids' confidence gains and faster stripe advancements."
Sara Kim
Head Instructor, Apex Dojo Academy in Chicago
"Those seasonal dips used to crush us, especially after summer breaks when families skipped kids' karate enrollments. With these dashboards, we spotted the post-vacation trend early via retention metrics and launched targeted family promo events—retained 12 families we would've lost, adding back over $8,000 in annual fees without needing to slash prices or add new staff."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this dashboard integrate with my current class management software?
We start by mapping your existing tools—like Mindbody or your custom enrollment system—and build deep, two-way API connections. No more manual uploads; data flows in real-time, whether it's attendance from morning kids' classes or evening adult sign-ups. For a typical martial arts school, this means seeing payment confirmations alongside belt test readiness instantly. We've done this for dozens of dojos, ensuring it's secure and handles peak loads without a hitch. If you're on something niche, we custom-engineer the link so everything syncs smoothly, saving you hours of admin each week.
Can it handle multiple locations if my school expands?
Absolutely—our enterprise-grade architecture is designed for growth, from single-dojo setups to chains with branches across towns. We consolidate data from all sites into one master dashboard, letting you compare retention in your urban kickboxing spot versus suburban family taekwondo. One client scaled from two to five locations without downtime, tracking unified KPIs like overall belt promotions. It's built to flex with your ambitions, adding new feeds as you open doors, all while keeping insights clear and actionable for informed decisions.
What specific KPIs are useful for martial arts schools?
We tailor them to your world: track class fill rates to optimize schedules, student retention funnels showing drop-offs between white and blue belts, and progression speeds to ensure fair promotions. Add in gear sales tied to session attendance or trial-to-paid conversion rates for newbies. For example, you could monitor youth program engagement during school holidays. Our dashboards highlight these with visuals, like charts of average time-to-black-belt, helping you spot if stricter drills boost loyalty or if flexible timings keep families coming back. It's all about metrics that drive dojo success.
How secure is the student data in these dashboards?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive info like kids' progress or family contact details. We use enterprise-level encryption, role-based access (so instructors see only class-relevant data), and comply with standards like GDPR for privacy. Regular audits keep everything locked down, and we build in features like audit logs for who views what. A dojo we worked with praised how it protected their 200+ student records during a growth phase, ensuring parents felt safe while you gain insights without worry. It's peace of mind, letting you focus on teaching techniques, not tech risks.
What's the timeline to get my dashboard up and running?
From our initial chat, we can have a prototype live in 4-6 weeks, fully customized and integrated. This includes discovery (1 week), building core features like attendance tracking (2-3 weeks), and testing with your real data (1 week). For a martial arts school, we'd prioritize quick wins like retention visuals first. Post-launch, we offer tweaks for a month to refine, say, belt progression alerts. Clients often see value immediately, with one owner noting clearer class insights within days of go-live, transforming how they manage daily operations without long waits.
Do I need technical skills to use the dashboard?
Not at all—it's designed for busy school owners and instructors, with an intuitive interface like flipping through a technique manual. Drag-and-drop views for KPIs, mobile alerts that ping your phone about low attendance, and simple filters for drilling into specifics, like adult jiu-jitsu trends. We provide hands-on training, including quick videos on checking revenue from gear upsells. One head sensei said it felt natural after a day, freeing him to coach instead of crunch numbers. If questions pop up, our support team's just an email away, keeping it straightforward.
