About
MAS9 is the leading all-in-one software platform built specifically for martial arts schools — including taekwondo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, karate, and MMA gyms. Unlike generic business tools, MAS9 is designed around the unique workflows of a martial arts school: belt progressions, testing cycles, class rosters, and student retention. The platform consolidates student management, automated billing, attendance tracking, rank and belt testing administration, and class scheduling into a single dashboard. School owners gain real-time visibility into revenue, active students, retention rates, and daily check-ins — all from a unified interface accessible via desktop, student app, and admin app. MAS9 includes an AI-powered growth engine that automatically follows up with leads, sends personalized messages to students, and surfaces retention risks before students quit — without requiring manual effort from staff. The platform also offers built-in website capabilities and marketing tools, further reducing the number of subscriptions a school needs. On the financial side, MAS9 offers competitive payment processing rates starting at 2%, which can save schools hundreds of dollars per month compared to industry-standard rates. Pricing for the platform starts at $150/month. MAS9 is ideal for solo school owners looking to automate operations as well as multi-location martial arts businesses that need scalable infrastructure. Live customer support — with real people who answer the phone — sets it apart from larger, ticket-based software vendors. Schools across North America use MAS9 to grow enrollment, automate day-to-day administration, and keep students engaged long-term.

Pros
- Purpose-Built for Martial Arts: Belt systems, testing cycles, and class structures are built into the platform from the ground up — no awkward workarounds required.
- Lower Processing Fees: Payment processing starts at 2%, which can save schools hundreds of dollars per month compared to the 2.9%+ industry average.
- All-in-One Platform: Replaces multiple subscriptions — software, website, and payment processor — with a single connected system, reducing cost and complexity.
- Live Human Support: Real support staff answer the phone directly, eliminating the frustrating ticket queues common with larger SaaS vendors.
Cons
- Paid-Only Pricing: Starting at $150/month, MAS9 may be a significant investment for very small or newly opened schools not yet generating consistent revenue.
- North America Focus: The platform is currently optimized for schools across the United States and Canada, which may limit appeal for international martial arts school owners.
- Niche Applicability: MAS9 is exclusively designed for martial arts schools — fitness studios, yoga centers, or other sports organizations cannot use it as a general-purpose management tool.
