A class for every level
Set up Fundamentals, Advanced, Juniors and Competition as separate activities, each with its own instructor, length and number of students.
Your dojo’s timetable, trial classes and memberships
Beginners, juniors, competition squad, open mat: a martial arts school runs many groups on one mat. Groopla gives each group its own place on the timetable and its own cap, and lets students book with a membership or come for a free trial.
Free trial classes
Put a trial class on the timetable at no charge. Newcomers book with their phone number, and you see who came back.
Monthly memberships
Sell a monthly unlimited membership or an 8-classes-a-month plan, and give one by hand to students who pay at the front desk.
Capped mat space
Limit each class to what the mat holds safely. When it’s full, students join the waitlist.
Instructors take the register
Each instructor sees their own classes and marks who trained, so attendance before a grading is on record.
Seminars and gradings
Add one-off seminars, open mats and grading days next to the weekly classes, with their own price.
One mat, many groups
Most schools teach several styles or levels in the same space through the week, often back to back. In Groopla each class is set once as a weekly session with its instructor and cap, and the calendar shows the whole week colour-coded, so you see at a glance when the mat is busy.
If you teach in two halls, or at a partner gym on Saturdays, add each as a location and pick one for every class.
From trial to member
Many students start with a free trial. Put one on the timetable, share the booking link on your website and social pages, and Groopla texts the newcomer a reminder before class, so fewer trial bookings end as no-shows.
After class they can buy a membership from the same page, and their next booking uses it.
Attendance records
When instructors mark who trained, you can see:
- How many classes each student has attended, on their own record, before a grading.
- Attendance and no-shows for each class and each instructor.
- Which time slots fill up and which need a new time.
Questions
Can parents book for their children?
Each booking belongs to one phone number, so the simplest setup is a number per student. Talk to us if your juniors’ classes need something different.
Can a membership cover only some classes?
Not yet: a pass covers any class booked with it. If a group needs separate pricing, such as the competition squad, give that class its own drop-in price.
Do you track belts or ranks?
No. Groopla handles the timetable, bookings, payments and attendance. You can note ranks in the class name, like Fundamentals (white–blue).
What does it cost?
Free covers up to 20 students a month. Solo is €25 a month for 75 active students, and Studio €59 for 150, with no fee on payments.
