What Kicksite is
Kicksite is a management platform for martial arts schools, including academies, dojos, and gyms offering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, Taekwondo, Kickboxing, or MMA. It brings student and family profiles, memberships, enrollment details, and student records together with class scheduling and online booking. Schools can automate recurring billing, take one-time charges and card payments, sell inventory, and monitor past-due invoices. Attendance options include PIN or barcode kiosk check-in, bulk check-ins, a live feed, and filterable history. Staff can set belt curricula, arrange testing events, review promotion eligibility, and promote students with one click.
To attract and communicate with prospects and members, schools can create landing pages and forms, accept online signups, and use shortlinks or QR codes. The service includes one-way texts and emails, segmented email announcements, automated alerts, and prospect nurturing flows. Students and guardians can use a mobile web portal to view announcements, achievements, classes, and events, check in by barcode, and manage payment methods. Kicksite runs on the web, Android, and iOS. Monthly plans begin at $49.00 for up to 25 active students, with all features included; larger tiers cover up to 50, up to 100, and 101 or more students. The company was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas.
