Kombat Evolve review
A broad academy platform for progression, scheduling, billing, CRM and mobile access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Kombat Evolve is an academy management platform for BJJ and martial arts schools that need more than class scheduling. It brings together member profiles, recurring memberships, passes, Stripe billing, class capacity limits, QR and tablet-kiosk check-in, family and kids accounts, and student-facing mobile apps. Coaches can track belt timelines, stripes, mat time and promotion readiness, while students can view schedules, check in, track progress, sign documents and manage payments. The platform is available on web, Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, making it suitable for small academies, mid-market organizations and enterprise operators.
Pricing is based on active members and is available monthly or annually. Starter costs €59 per month or €566 per year for up to 100 active members. Growth costs €79 per month or €758 per year for 101 to 200 members; Pro costs €119 per month or €1,142 per year for 201 to 400; and Elite costs €169 per month or €1,622 per year for 400+ members. Every tier includes all listed features and a 0% Kombat Evolve payment fee. A 14-day trial is available without a card, while paid pricing excludes VAT. The member-count structure gives growing academies a clear upgrade path, but the entry price makes it less suited to schools seeking a free or lightweight tool.
Its strongest differentiator is breadth across academy operations and student progression. The searchable technique library is organized by belt, and competition tracking includes fight records and AI competition plans. Lead capture, CRM and website-builder tools extend the system beyond administration, while Stripe, Klarna and SEPA support cover payment workflows. GDPR and PCI DSS compliance are listed, and deployment spans cloud, desktop and mobile. Kombat Evolve should appeal to operators consolidating progression, payments, attendance, family management and engagement in one system. Smaller schools that only need basic scheduling or attendance may find its wider scope and paid structure unnecessary.
