Martial arts studios

Nextro lets you structure each service correctly — with class capacity limits, upfront payment, and term credit packs for your regular students.

The problems you're solving
Beginner students need induction before joining regular classes
A student who has never trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, karate, or boxing cannot join a regular intermediate class without basic instruction. A mandatory beginner induction booking prevents this.
Grading sessions need confirmed student lists in advance
A grading assessment for belt promotion requires organised student lists, pre-grading requirements communicated clearly, and a confirmed number of participants for the examiner.
Class revenue is unpredictable with drop-in payment
Classes paid at the door create weekly income uncertainty. Students who purchase a monthly or term pass in advance attend more consistently and the dojo's income becomes predictable.
Private lessons are underpriced because coaches don't account for preparation
A private BJJ drilling session or a 1:1 striking pad session requires specific preparation and space allocation. When private lessons are informally priced and informally booked, revenue and time are consistently undervalued.

Questions answered
Common questions
Answers about booking, payments, and getting started with Nextro.
How do martial arts studios manage beginner inductions through Nextro?
List beginner induction as a separate, mandatory first service. New students book the induction before they can join regular classes. Your booking page description for regular classes can state that prior induction is required.
Can martial arts studios sell monthly class passes through Nextro?
Yes. Nextro's credit pack feature lets you sell monthly or term passes — 8 classes, 12 classes — at a bundle rate. Students purchase the pass and redeem one credit per class.
How does Nextro manage class capacity for martial arts?
Each class service has a maximum participant number based on your mat space and safety requirements. When the class is full, it's no longer bookable.
Can I charge different prices for different martial arts levels?
Yes. Beginner classes, intermediate sessions, advanced training, and instructor workshops can all be listed as separate services with different pricing.
Does Nextro work for instructors running classes in hired gym space?
Yes. Set your availability to match your hired space hours. Your booking page shows accurate availability.
