Our verdict on Kimono
Kimono is cloud and mobile club-management software for martial arts and combat sports schools. Its tools cover member records, attendance, grade progression, dues, schedules, trial classes, and events, with stated audiences including club administrators, instructors, multi-discipline clubs, and federations. A member portal gives students access to schedules, attendance, grades, documents, and online registration. The free plan is aimed at clubs that want core attendance and grade tracking alongside that portal.
The pricing page lists Free at €0 per month or year, with attendance tracking, grade promotions, and the member portal. Pro costs €39 per month or €374 per year and adds multi-club capability, billing and online payments, automatic reservation-reminder emails, data export, and priority support. Enterprise lists API and integrations, dedicated training, an account manager, and a guaranteed SLA. That tier’s listed features may suit organizations needing account support or integration options; its plan price is not stated here. For clubs that only need the Free plan’s listed capabilities, a paid subscription may not be necessary.
Kimono’s feature range links day-to-day operations: administrators can maintain member profiles and documents, use QR check-in and attendance statistics, organize schedules by room, discipline, and instructor, and track grading sessions and grade history. Subscriptions, session passes, automatic invoicing, unpaid tracking, public trial-booking pages, and event registration with payments and capacity management extend the workflow. Stripe and Stripe Connect are listed integrations, and web, iOS, and Android are supported. Clubs seeking a single system for these martial-arts-specific tasks may find the scope a fit. Those who need online payments should compare the Pro cost with their needs; clubs seeking other capabilities should assess fit against the listed feature set before choosing.
