Run the school. Teach the self-defense.
Practitioner levels, certification seminars, and self-defense workshops — NextKick handles the admin so you can focus on preparing students for the real thing.
What NextKick runs for you
Three things a self-defense school has to get right
Practitioner and graduate levels, your curriculum's way
Krav Maga isn't graded in belts — it's practitioner levels and certifications. Set up P1 through P5 and graduate tiers exactly as your association defines them, and track each student's level, test dates, and certification history on a permanent profile.
Regular classes and one-off seminars, side by side
Women's self-defense workshops, certification seminars, and regular classes each work differently. Run standalone events with their own registration, pricing, and attendee list — separate from your weekly schedule.
Tuition, seminar, and certification fees — automated
Recurring monthly tuition, one-time seminar and certification charges, and automatic reminders. Families link under one account with a single login and automatic discounts.
Level testing without the paperwork
Set attendance and prerequisite requirements per level, and NextKick flags who's ready to test. Record results on the day and issue certifications — each student's progress from P1 to graduate stays in one place.
Krav Maga school questions
Can NextKick match my association's level system?
Yes. Whether you follow a P1–P5 practitioner structure, graduate tiers, or your own curriculum, you configure the exact levels and NextKick tracks each student against them.
Can I run seminars separately from regular classes?
Absolutely. Standalone seminars and workshops get their own registration, pricing, and attendee list, completely separate from your regular class schedule.
Does it store certification records?
It does. Test dates, results, and certifications attach to each student's profile, so their level and certification history stays in one place.
Does NextKick work for schools with multiple locations?
Yes. Multi-location schools get consolidated reporting, shared student profiles, and centralized billing from one dashboard.
In short
NextKick is Krav Maga school software. It configures level progression your way, runs seminars and specialist courses as paid events, handles adult memberships and corporate groups, and tracks curriculum coverage rather than attendance alone.
What to look for in Krav Maga school software
Krav Maga schools run on levels rather than belts, on an adult membership base rather than families, and on seminars and specialist courses that sit outside the weekly schedule. That combination does not map neatly onto either traditional martial arts software or general gym software.
Key takeaways
- Level progression, configured your way
- Seminars and specialist courses as paid events
- Adult memberships and corporate groups
- Curriculum tracking, not just attendance
Level progression, configured your way
Whether you run P1–P5, a coloured level system, or your own curriculum, the software should hold your exact structure, track each student's current level, and record test results on a permanent profile.
Seminars and specialist courses as paid events
Weapons defence, ground survival, and instructor courses are one-off events with their own registration, capacity, and fee. They need to sell and fill without disturbing your regular class schedule.
Adult memberships and corporate groups
An adult-heavy roster means fewer family accounts and more individual recurring plans, plus occasional corporate or law-enforcement group bookings billed to an organisation rather than a person.
Curriculum tracking, not just attendance
Which techniques a student has covered matters more than how many classes they attended, particularly with a syllabus that revisits material at increasing intensity. Tracking curriculum completion is what makes testing decisions consistent between instructors.
Run well, that means a school where a student's level, curriculum coverage, seminar history, and billing all live on one record, and where filling a weekend seminar is a scheduling task rather than a project.
