About Martial Arts Toolkit
Martial Arts Toolkit connects club management, teaching and student progress in one place, helping instructors spend less time on administration and make clearer decisions for every student.
What it does
Registers take too long, grading readiness lives in three places, and families never quite know what is next. Each part of the toolkit exists to fix one of those.
Run the club
Manage classes, registers, students and communications from one place. Each staff member sees the areas they need, and families use secure links for RSVP, check-in and feedback without another account.
See Club Management
Grading readiness
Attendance, syllabus progress and assessments connect to the club's own grading structure, so instructors can see who is ready, who is nearly there, and book them onto the next grading in a tap.

Student progress
Turn instructor feedback into focused training plans and visible progress. Students and families see grades, upcoming classes, assigned practice and what to work on next.

Why it is different
The workflows use the language and rhythm of martial arts schools - syllabus, grading day and training between classes - rather than a gym membership system with belts added on.
Attendance, assessments and progression connect to the club's own grading structure - not a generic points system.
Lesson planning and assessment information contribute to the same student record instructors use on grading day.
Messages, announcements, emails and text messages stay managed through the club, with family-linked accounts and club-controlled conversations to support your safeguarding process. Reminders, cancellations and check-in notices can go out by text on their own.
Structured technique catalogues are available for Karate, Taekwondo, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and other supported styles. View all supported styles
Why it exists
Martial Arts Toolkit was founded by Chris Whiteway as a passion project, inspired by his experience helping a local martial arts club that was struggling with an outdated management system while paying excessive fees for the privilege.
With over a decade of experience developing and delivering software for the NHS, alongside a lifelong passion for martial arts, Chris saw an opportunity to do things differently.
His goal was simple: to build a world-class club management platform that gives martial arts clubs access to powerful, modern tools without the premium price tag.
Martial Arts Toolkit was built around the belief that clubs of all sizes deserve great software, fair pricing and genuine support, allowing instructors to spend less time on administration and more time doing what they love: teaching martial arts.
