Can parents book a trial class online?

Yes — that's the core win. Trial booking with the waiver and intro offer applied converts 'karate near me' searchers into scheduled first classes instead of lost Facebook messages. See booking for martial arts schools.

Do we have to replace Zen Planner or Kicksite?

No — we build a site and trial funnel that connect to your existing member-management software, which keeps handling attendance, rank, and billing. Tell us your platform on the inquiry page.

Can it collect waivers and family intake online?

Yes — liability waivers, medical info, and guardian details can be collected before the first class, clearing the front-door paperwork. See automation for martial arts schools.

How much does a martial arts website cost?

From $4,500 one-time or $499/mo for 24 months with maintenance and hosting included — a fixed number after one scoping pass. See the pricing page.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Websites, apps & automation for martial arts schools

Updated August 2026 · Nabee Studio

Nabee Studio builds custom websites, platforms, and automation for martial arts schools — from $4,500 one-time or $499/mo for 24 months with maintenance and hosting included. One partner replaces the stack of vendors, template subscriptions, and manual work, so working with us saves money, time, or both.

A martial arts school lives on memberships — often families enrolling kids for months or years — and on a steady flow of trial classes that convert to enrollments. Most schools run the front end on Facebook and word of mouth, a paper waiver at the door, and a member-management app for billing, while the website is an afterthought that doesn't sell the trial.

The digital reality is that a parent searching "karate for kids near me" is deciding in minutes whether to book a trial, and your site is the pitch. A site that sells the trial class, handles waivers and intro offers, and manages the family membership funnel converts the local searches that fill your mats.

Where martial arts schools lose time and money online

The trial-class funnel is leaky

Trials are how enrollments happen, but if booking a trial means calling or messaging on Facebook, parents drop off. Without a clear online trial offer with waiver and scheduling, warm local interest never becomes a first class — and the first class is what sells the membership.

Waivers, intake, and belt records are manual

Every student needs a liability waiver and medical intake; kids' programs need parent/guardian info. Paper forms at the door slow the first class and pile up in a drawer. Belt/rank progression and attendance are tracked in notebooks or a separate app.

Membership billing and retention need attention

Recurring family memberships are the revenue base, but declined cards, cancellations, and lapsed students leak money. Manual follow-up on billing and win-back doesn't happen consistently when the instructor is on the mat all day.

Events, testing, and seminars under-promote

Belt testing, tournaments, seminars, and summer camps are revenue and community events, but they're promoted by flyer and word of mouth. Under-filled events and last-minute scrambles are the norm.

What manual work does a custom build remove?

The typical martial arts school runs on manual touchpoints like these:

Taking trial-class requests by phone and Facebook message
Collecting paper waivers and medical intake at the door
Tracking belt rank, attendance, and testing eligibility by hand
Chasing declined membership payments and cancellations
Promoting belt testing, seminars, and camps by flyer
Following up with lapsed students and no-show trials manually

Each of those is hours a week that a custom build turns into software:

Trial-class booking & intro offer — an online trial booking with waiver and intro offer applied, converting 'karate near me' searchers into scheduled first classes instead of lost messages.
Digital waivers & family intake — liability waivers, medical info, and guardian details collected online before the first class, clearing the front-door paperwork bottleneck.
Membership billing & retention — recurring family memberships with automated declined-card recovery and lapsed-student win-back, protecting the recurring revenue base.
Event & testing promotion — belt testing, seminars, and camps sold and reminded automatically, so events fill instead of relying on flyers.

Integrations that matter for martial arts schools

Member management (Kicksite, Zen Planner, RainMaker) · Payments & recurring billing · Waiver / e-signature · Attendance & rank tracking · Email/SMS marketing · Facebook & Google Business Profile — built in, not bolted on with extra subscriptions.

What does it cost?

One scoping pass, one fixed number — no hourly billing. Belt tracking and billing live in member-management software; the leverage is a site that sells trial classes and manages the family enrollment funnel, not a separate platform.

Website — from $4,500 one-time (standard from $7,500), or $499/mo for 24 months with the Maintenance Plan and hosting included.

The monthly plan totals somewhat more than paying up front — that's the honest trade for spreading the cost and having us operate everything for two years. Details in the payment plan guide and on the pricing page.
