Anubis Martial Arts App Case Study

01Why it was made

One place for the whole academy.

A martial arts academy runs on rhythm: classes at set times, members who train several days a week, coaches who need to know who is on the mat, and administrators who keep memberships and payments in order.

At Anubis, that rhythm was spread across scattered schedules and manual attendance. Members had to look in different places to find out when to train, and staff had to piece together who attended and who was current.

The goal was simple to state: give members and staff one place where the academy's schedule, attendance and memberships live together.

02Problems to solve

What the app had to replace.

Schedules lived in too many places.Adults and Kids / Juniors timetables needed a single, current home that members could open in seconds.
Attendance was tracked by hand.Check-in needed to be fast at the door and recorded without paperwork.
Membership status was hard to see.Members wanted to see their plan, requests and payments; staff wanted to see who was active.
Academy news did not reach everyone.Gradings, camps, seminars and competitions needed a dependable channel inside the same app.
Staff lacked a shared overview.Coaches and administrators needed members, schedules and finances side by side.

03The solution

Two connected experiences.

Weekly schedules with full-screen viewing
Private classes with coach selection

Membership plan, requests and payments

Academy console 04 views

Overview of attendance, members and revenue
Member search and membership status
Independent Adults and Kids / Juniors schedule publishing
Payments and monthly performance

How they connect Shared data

A schedule published in the console is what members open on their phones. A QR check-in at the door becomes attendance in the overview. Membership status is the same record for the member and the administrator.
