Built for Performance-Driven MMA Academies
Kicksite stops at the basics. Wodify goes beyond with built-in belt and rank tracking, attendance, and milestone celebrations—tools that set you apart, keep students engaged, and drive retention.
Martial Arts academy owners prefer Wodify over Kicksite.
Kicksite falls short with essentials like reporting, retail sales, and performance tracking. Wodify’s all-in-one software delivers exactly what martial arts gyms need. Ditch the confusion and complexity for a better way to manage and grow your academy.
We’re the Kicksite alternative built for Martial Arts academies.
You need software for your MMA school that—just like you—does it all. Why settle for “good enough” with Kicksite when you can have a true all-in-one platform that’s customizable to your unique academy? Wodify was built to help you streamline operations, increase revenue, save time, boost retention, and grow your business.

We’ll go at your pace so you feel supported every step of the way. This careful transition allows you to operate your martial arts business with ease.
An all-in-one martial arts software improves retention by engaging students and recognizing their milestones. It identifies at-risk students who haven’t attended recently and automatically triggers celebrations for achievements like a 25th class or upcoming belt tests. This personalized approach makes students feel valued and connected.
By automating these key touchpoints, an all-in-one martial arts solution like Wodify ensures that no student feels overlooked, which is a must for membership retention. Timely communication and recognition help build loyalty and keep students motivated to continue their training.
Ultimately, Wodify’s martial arts software is a massive upgrade that transforms retention from a passive process into an active strategy, helping owners maintain a strong, committed community.
Absolutely. Wodify was intentionally designed to be comprehensive and robust so you can simplify your tech stack and run everything from one platform, with one login. The truth is, this drastically improves the operations for your team and the experience of your Martial Arts community.
For example, instead of chasing expired credit card payments and syncing the data with your CRM, Wodify’s automated billing features solve that for you. Plus, it provides a trustworthy and secure experience for clients to proactively update their payment methods.
Need to send a text to your client to reschedule? Wodify’s client messaging features make sure you send the right message to the right members in your classes. No need to connect extra tools since Wodify has everything a gym owner needs to run their business.
Absolutely. Wodify offers a user-friendly mobile app designed for both students and staff to enhance the martial arts academy experience. Students can easily book classes, track their belt progress, view technique videos, and pay invoices all from their mobile devices.
For gym owners and staff, the top-rated Wodify app provides powerful tools to manage attendance tracking, sell retail items like new Gis or wraps through convenient payment features, offer secure 24/7 access, and communicate with the community from anywhere, whether on the mat or away from the academy. This mobile app streamlines operations and increases engagement, making it a best fit for martial arts and Jiu-Jitsu schools looking to work smarter and connect better.
Yes. Wodify is built for scale. Whether you have two locations or twenty, you can manage them within a single environment. You can share your “Content Library” (curriculum and technique videos) across all locations while keeping financial reporting and merchant accounts separate. This allows for brand consistency without the administrative headache of logging into multiple accounts.
Martial arts schools need to manage leads, billing, attendance, promotions, and student communication across one or more locations, making an all-in-one platform like Wodify especially attractive.
When switching from Kicksite, Wodify makes your transition smooth by securely transferring the most important client information to your new account. While not all data can be migrated, here’s what you can expect:
- We CAN import: Client personal details (name, email, phone, address), and secure payment methods (depending on your current payment processor)
- We CANNOT import: Attendance history, performance history, or workout data, past membership transactions, or financial data
Your dedicated onboarding specialist will create your class memberships and pricing in the system to get you started and save you time. Plus, we’ll help you rebuild key parts of your account to ensure all essential client and billing info is set up correctly. This helps gym owners start with a clean, organized system and the tools to grow from there.
