OnMat overview

What is OnMat?

OnMat is a cloud-based martial arts school management platform built by martial artists, for martial artists. Trusted by 90+ schools nationwide since 2015, OnMat handles the business side of running a school so owners can focus on what they love — teaching.

Membership Management

Get a complete picture of every student in one place. Track membership status, belt level, attendance history, expiration dates, and communication history without spreadsheets or paper files. Automate billing reminders, membership expiration notices, and follow-ups so nothing falls through the cracks.

Integrated Billing

Billing runs itself with auto-pay and auto-renew. Payments are processed through PayFactory — accepting credit cards (2.89%) and ACH bank drafts (1.00%) with next-day funding and the option to pass processing fees to members. Failed payments are flagged and retried automatically.

Belt Testing & Skills Management

Define your curriculum digitally and track every student's progress through it automatically. Check off skills in real time on iPad, recommend students for promotion, collect test fees online, execute belt tests on iPad, and automatically email professional PDF report cards the moment a student passes.

Attendance & Class Scheduling

Students check in on iPad at the door. Attendance is recorded automatically, tied to their profile, and visible in your dashboard in real time. Build your class schedule once and it runs on autopilot with automatic reminders for students and parents.

SMS & Email Communication

Reach students and parents instantly with direct SMS — no third-party app needed. Send messages to your entire school, a specific belt level, or individual students. Automated emails handle birthday reminders, membership expiration notices, late payment alerts, and more.

Membership Agreements

Create custom digital membership agreements. Members sign electronically from any device. Every signed agreement is automatically emailed to both the member and your school — watermarked and timestamped for legal protection.

OnMat Command — Powered by OnMatAI

OnMat Command is your school's mission control. Real-time dashboards show trials and retention, revenue status, class attendance trends, and belt test readiness — all in one place. OnMatAI delivers a plain-English daily briefing telling you exactly what's happening in your school and who needs your attention today.

Programs

Run multiple disciplines under one roof — Taekwondo, Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, Little Dragons, and more. Each program has its own curriculum, belt structure, class schedule, and accounting records. Students can be enrolled in multiple programs simultaneously.

OnMat offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required, no setup fee, no contracts, and a 24-hour support response guarantee.

Key benefits of using OnMat

Great opportunity — Benefits is where you make the emotional case, not the feature list. The Long Description covers what OnMat does. Benefits should cover what changes for the school owner when they use it.

Here's the Benefits copy:
Running a martial arts school is hard. OnMat makes it manageable.
Most school owners didn't get into martial arts to chase down late payments, manually track attendance, or spend Sunday nights doing administrative work. But that's where too many end up — buried in paperwork instead of on the mat.

OnMat changes that equation.
You'll know exactly what's happening in your school — every day. OnMat Command gives you a real-time dashboard of everything that matters: trials, revenue, attendance, and belt test readiness. OnMatAI delivers a plain-English daily briefing so you're never flying blind. No reports to run. No spreadsheets to update. Just the answers you need to run a smarter school.

You'll stop losing students you didn't know were slipping away. OnMat schools average a 5.17% annual attrition rate — well below the industry norm of 20-30%. The difference is visibility. OnMat automatically flags students who haven't been in for 21+ days, identifies who's falling behind on class requirements, and surfaces who needs a personal touchpoint before they quietly quit.

Your billing will run itself. Set up auto-pay once and it runs in the background indefinitely. Failed payments are flagged and retried automatically. Outstanding balances are visible at a glance. You'll spend less time chasing money and more time teaching.

Belt testing will be your smoothest event of the year. Know exactly who's ready before test day. Collect fees in advance, execute the test on iPad, and automatically email professional PDF report cards the moment a student is promoted. No clipboards, no paperwork, no last-minute scrambles.
Parents will stay more engaged — and engaged parents retain longer. When parents can see their child's progress, upcoming classes, belt requirements, and receive timely communication from your school, they stay invested. Informed parents don't pull their kids from a program they understand and value.

Your front desk workload will drop dramatically. Students check themselves in on iPad at the door. Membership agreements are signed digitally. Billing runs automatically. Automated emails handle reminders, expiration notices, and late payment alerts. The administrative tasks that used to eat your evenings happen without you.

You'll have a software partner who actually understands your world. OnMat was built by black belts who ran schools and lived every one of these problems. When you contact support you're not talking to a call center — you're talking to people who understand what belt testing day looks like and why retention matters. We guarantee a response within 24 hours, every time.

The risk is zero. 30-day free trial. No credit card required. No setup fee. No contracts. If OnMat isn't right for your school, walk away with no cost and no obligation. We're confident enough in what we've built to let the product speak for itself.
