KEIKO review
Low-cost scheduling, grading, attendance, and payment records for martial arts clubs.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
KEIKO is a cloud-based management platform for martial arts and self-defence clubs, including dojos teaching karate, taekwondo, judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, and MMA. It brings recurring lesson and event scheduling together with student enrollment, member profiles, attendance, grading history, payment records, receipts, and financial reports. Members and staff can access the service through web, iOS, and Android apps. Its scope suits clubs that want core administration in one system rather than a specialist tool for a single operational task.
According to the vendor’s pricing page, the Pay per user plan costs $0.30 per member per month, with a 20-student minimum. The plan includes unlimited staff and instructors, free app downloads for staff and members, free email messages, cloud hosting, automatic backups, and priority email support. SMS notifications cost $0.03 per message. This is a paid plan, not a free tier; the advertised free setup is a limited-time offer. The per-member price is low, but the minimum affects the actual entry cost for smaller clubs. Clubs comparing costs should also account for SMS usage.
For day-to-day administration, KEIKO covers the linked tasks of scheduling, enrollment, attendance, and belt or grading history, including bulk grade updates. Payment records, receipts, financial reporting, and transaction exports provide a useful administrative layer, while email and SMS support member notifications. That breadth makes it a practical fit for small and mid-market clubs that want accessible student tracking alongside class management. Clubs that require verified recurring billing or integrations, or whose main need lies outside these club-management functions, should compare alternatives before choosing KEIKO.
