Kihon

What Kihon is

Kihon is management software for martial arts schools, covering members, billing, scheduling, attendance, and rank tracking. Its lead pipeline handles leads, trials, Decision Day, and enrollment. Schools can define belt ladders, use attendance for promotion eligibility, promote students in bulk, and register testing events. Household registration combines children’s ranks, attendance, and schedules in one view, with split payments available. Kihon validates drawn contract signatures and stores evidence records that can be bundled into PDFs for charge disputes. Two-way texting and in-app chat are built in, with texts billed at published prices. Schools remain the merchant of record, while the listed Kihon Payments fee for founding schools is 0.5% plus processor fees. Member, agreement, billing, and attendance data can be exported without an exit fee. Kihon is available on iOS and the web. The Kihon plan is $1 a month, billed monthly, with a $79 floor and $249 cap for founding schools. A Kihon Pilot option costs $49, paid once.
