50% less admin time — and more time being a sensei

Several systems, none of them talking to each other

Steve King has been running Samurai Karate School for 25 years, growing it to six classes a week and 160+ students — the biggest karate school in the area. But behind the scenes, student data lived in Excel, communications ran through MailChimp and Facebook, and Direct Debits sat in a completely separate system.

None of these tools were integrated. Everything had to be manually cross-referenced and updated, costing Steve far too much time — time he should have been spending on the mat with his students.

Easy to use and ticked every box

Steve was drawn to ClubRight because it looked straightforward and covered every martial arts school management need in one system. The pricing was a bonus too — one subscription replacing several separate tools meant genuine cost savings alongside better functionality.

His one concern was the bulk transfer of Direct Debits to ClubRight Pay. He’d never been through that process before. ClubRight made it straightforward and supported the school every step of the way.

50% less admin — and more time coaching

With everything in one place, Steve halved the time he spends on admin. Reports give him clear insight into budgeting, class planning and marketing. But the feature he rates highest is the Student App.

Steve also values the honesty and hands-on support he received from the ClubRight team. They took the time to make sure the software was the right fit for a martial arts school and helped set up every tool in a way that made sense for the business.

The best thing I’ve done for the business

Steve now has more time to concentrate on being a great sensei for his students. The admin that used to eat into his evenings runs in the background, and the school is easier to manage than ever.
