Built for martial arts instructors

Run your school
from the mat.

r4ptor is the management platform built for martial arts instructors — not adapted from a gym tool, not pieced together from spreadsheets. Purpose-built, mobile-first, and live in minutes.

No card required  ·  No commitment  ·  Cancel anytime

Flat £30/month

No per-student charges. As your school grows, your costs stay the same.

14-day free trial

Full access, no card required. Your data stays yours if you leave.

EU-hosted & GDPR-clean

Your own isolated database and subdomain. Your data never mingles with anyone else's.

Everything on the mat
and off it.

From the first bow to the final grade — r4ptor covers the full operational life of your school.

One-Tap Register

Mark attendance before the warm-up ends. Belt sash colours, live enrolment lists, and Student of the Week — all from your phone on the mat.

Student Profiles

Full attendance history, belt grade progression, renewal month tracking, and a complete comms log. Every student, always one tap away.

Lesson Planner

Build four-week curriculum blocks from your technique library. Assign coaches, plan by grade, and print session plans in A4 or A5.

Email & SMS Comms

Send grading invites, renewal reminders, and absence follow-ups from pre-built templates. One student or an entire group — delivered via email and SMS, logged against every student.

AI Insights

Ask plain-English questions about your school. Retention risk, grading readiness, class health — answered instantly from live data, powered by Claude and ChatGPT.

Payment Integrations

GoCardless mandate status and SumUp transactions on every student profile. Know who's paid, who's at risk, and who's missing a mandate — without switching apps.

Standalone or Franchise

Run independently with your own curriculum, or join a franchise group and inherit a shared grade and technique system. Every school gets its own isolated database — EU-hosted, GDPR-compliant, no shared tenancy.

Staff & Fees

Assign coaches to specific classes, track session attendance, and generate this month's and last month's fee report automatically.

Import Your Existing Data

Upload a CSV of your students and r4ptor creates their profiles, classes, and enrolments in one step. Preview before committing — zero risk.

Deep dive — Registers

Take the register
before the warm-up ends.

No paper. No laptop. No catching up afterwards. Open the register on your phone, tap once per student, and you're done — the data is live the moment class ends.

Sash grades always visible

Colour-coded belt grades shown inline so you can read the room at a glance.

Student of the Week, built in

Assign S.O.W and Runner-Up from a dropdown — awards roll up to profiles automatically.

Attendance % updates live

Year-to-date % per class, colour-coded RAG against your own thresholds. No reports to run.

Tap any student for their profile

Full attendance history, grade progression and comms log — one tap from the register.

Deep dive — Student Profiles

Every student,
fully in focus.

One tap from anywhere in the app — a complete picture of who they are, how they're attending, where they are in their grade progression, and how to reach them right now.

Attendance at every level

All-time, this year and this month — each colour-coded RAG against your own thresholds, with a per-session pip history so patterns jump out instantly.

Grade and next milestone

Current sash and the next grade shown together, colour-coded to match the actual belt. Promote them in two taps — the record updates everywhere instantly.

Call, WhatsApp or SMS in one tap

Contact buttons are right there on the profile. No copying numbers, no switching apps — tap and you're through to the parent or student immediately.

S.O.W history & membership

Win and runner-up count, join date, membership duration and renewal month — the full context for every conversation you need to have.

Deep dive — Data Import

Your school,
imported in minutes.

Upload a CSV and r4ptor builds your entire school — student profiles, class schedules, and enrolments all created in one step. Bring your curriculum too: techniques, categories, and grade requirements import the same way. No manual entry, no starting from scratch.

Every student field covered

Name, grade, contact details, renewal month, media consent, grade card status — all 36 columns map directly to the student profile. Bring everything, leave nothing behind.

Classes created automatically

Specify up to four classes per student with day, time, duration, and location. New classes are created on the spot and students enrolled — no separate setup step needed.

Preview before committing

Every row is validated before a single record is written. See exactly which classes will be created, which students have errors, and which already exist — then confirm when you're ready.

All-or-nothing — zero partial imports

The import runs as a single transaction. If anything fails mid-import, nothing is written. Fix the error in your spreadsheet, re-upload, and try again safely.

Deep dive — Lesson Planner

Plan once.
Teach with confidence.

Build four-week curriculum blocks straight from your technique library. See exactly who needs each skill, assign it to the right instructor, and print a clean session plan in A4 or A5 — all in one place.

Built from your technique library

Every technique in your curriculum is already in the system. Filter by your own technique categories and pull in exactly what each grade group needs next — whatever your style calls them.

Assigned to the right instructor

Flip to the By Teacher view and the plan reorganises around your coaches. Every instructor sees exactly their techniques for the session — no confusion on the mat.

Knows who needs what

Student names appear under each technique so you can see at a glance who's working on which grade milestone. No guessing, no scanning spreadsheets mid-session.

Print-ready in one tap

A4 or A5 session plans, cleanly formatted and ready to hand out or post on the wall. Professional output with zero extra effort.

Deep dive — Communications

Reach any parent
in seconds.

Send personalised email and SMS from any student profile in two taps — or select a filtered group and send to everyone at once. r4ptor also watches for milestone moments and surfaces a queue of suggested messages for you to review. Nothing is sent until you tap Send.

One-tap Call, WhatsApp or SMS

Contact buttons sit right on the student profile. Tap Call and your phone dials. Tap WhatsApp and the conversation opens instantly.

Build and manage your own templates

Create grading invites, renewal chasers, attendance alerts. Write the email body and SMS in one place, activate when ready, and they appear in every student's send menu.

Custom variables — update once, everywhere

Set "Next Grading Month" to July and every template that uses {{NEXT_GRADE_MONTH}} updates automatically. Change the value before each grading season, not the templates.

Smart suggestions — never miss a moment

r4ptor spots attendance streaks, Student of the Week wins, training anniversaries and birthdays — and queues a suggested message for each one. Review and send in one tap, or dismiss. Nothing goes out without your approval.

Deep dive — Reports

The numbers,
already done.

From who deserves Student of the Week to exactly what you owe each coach this month — r4ptor calculates it all automatically. Club Health surfaces who's on a streak, who's gone quiet, and who's most improved, so you always know where to focus.

S.O.W — know who's due recognition

Every student ranked by wins, runner-ups, and last award date. Never won is highlighted in yellow — no student gets forgotten.

Staff fees — calculated automatically

Hourly rates × sessions taught, broken down by month. Coaches and leaders shown separately. Total owed, up to today — no spreadsheet required.

Club Health — spot who needs a check-in

Six live alert panels: students on a streak, lapsed (3+ misses), at risk (under 60%), most improved, new joiners, and upcoming anniversaries — all from a single screen.

Monthly class summaries

Browse any past month — sessions held, group attendance %, perfect attenders, SOW winners, and new joiners per class. Scroll back through your club's history.

Visual pipeline dashboard

Built-in Direct Debit signup

Nothing falls through the cracks

Every action that needs a human gets a task. Mandate confirmed? A task appears to set up the subscription. Tasks live on your home screen with priority and category — so admin gets done, not forgotten.

Meta Pixel built in
