For martial arts schools
HotGlue gives martial arts schools a complete operating system with $0 monthly software fees and membership billing that runs itself. Automate the business, so you can stay on the mat.
HotGlue is martial arts school management software with a $0 monthly software fee because it is funded by payment processing: schools get recurring membership billing, contract and agreement management, tablet attendance check-in, belt and rank tracking, digital waivers, and free migration from Zen Planner, Kicksite, PushPress, MindBody or Martialytics.
Migrating from Zen Planner, Kicksite, PushPress, MindBody or Martialytics? Migration is free and handled for you.
School management and payment processing, delivered as a single system, built for belt testing season, not for spreadsheets.
Every student, program, and family lives in one platform. We migrate you free from Zen Planner, Kicksite, PushPress, MindBody and Martialytics.
Recurring dues, pro shop sales and testing fees pull automatically. Declines retry themselves, so memberships never quietly lapse.
The software is subsidized by processing. $0 monthly fees, and on the Advantage plan, $0 in card fees too.
Memberships, attendance check-in, rank and belt progression, waivers and messaging in one place, with a parent portal that answers questions for you.

Tablet check-in at the door, class credits, and belt requirements tracked toward each test.
Legally-defensible e-signatures collected at sign-up, enforced before a student steps on the mat.
We move students, programs, schedules and billing agreements with zero downtime.
