About Open Black Belt
OpenBlackbelt is cloud-based software that was built to be affordable for any school. Our one size fits all plan means you don't have to worry about rising costs as your school grows. You can get started for 30 days free with just an email address.
We offer attendance tracking, rank management, and self check-in. With OpenBlackbelt, you can target emails to your students, so the right student gets what they need.
With OpenBlackbelt, you can take attendance of members with input from instructor attendance or through member self-check-in. Self-check-in can be done through a unique ID provided to members. You can even generate a barcode to give to users so they can swipe their cards and they're in.
Open Black Belt provides users with reports, including charts and graphs, to assess the school's performance.
Open Black Belt offers live online support to its customers. We'd love to give you a demo of the software so you can see if it's the right fit for your school.

Great management software to stay on top of student info, attendance, and communication!
5
We have been using Open Black Belt for well over a year and a half now and it is nice to see the growth and constant updates to it. Without it, it would be difficult to run a school and be as efficient as it allows us to be. Three of the most useful features for us is access to emergency contact info (should we ever need it), Student Check In (this helps us stay on top of attendance and promotion requirements), and being able to send out mass emails (so that we can keep everyone on the same page). We know there is other software out there, we have been reached out to and have gone through demonstrations with them. We just don't see a need to change what we currently have working for us.

More than capable of running a Dojo
4
I cam across this applicatiobn by chance and although it is not exactly easy to use since the user interface is a bit too techy it is more than capable of running a dojoo. Overall I think in its current version it is worth its score and with a bit more effort it could easily move to 4/5. Thank you for taking your time to build this app.

Customer support is lacking

I have tried this software before but features were limited. I attempted to give it another shot. I contacted support twice trying to gain access but no response.

Solid and Simple

If you want a simple, solid martial arts management software, Open Black Belt fits the bill. Not overloaded with too many features you won't use.

Great Software and service

I was using mind body but it just didn't really fit for our gym. Got a call about this at the perfect time. Not only is it 1/4 of the price but it has better features and the credit processing is way cheaper

Open Black Belt is great
5
I am a big fan of Open Black Belt(OBB) Their software is set up for the perfect workflow when involving the details of running a gym. Overall the best product of it's kind. Whether it be the bulk emailing, keeping track of your students, or tracking inventory, OBB makes everything much more efficient. I have also had the privilege to work directly with OBB involving advertisement, and they are great to work with. Very professional, and they genuinely want to help out.

Loved it until the changes

Absolutely adored the software, especially the mindset behind it. Stopped using it when my "free" version suddenly had to be paid for.

Great customer service

The customer service representatives at Open Black Belt have been great. We've had several different issues come up, and they are very responsive. OBB also have been really good about implementing suggestions for new reports or functionality. This is a great product that add a lot of value to our business.

Top Notch Customer Support

After test driving several different MA student databases, this one has been one of the easiest and straightforward systems I've seen. Most importantly, they have given the BEST customer support by far compared the others I've tried. Response is almost always immediate.
