Yes! It can change your life, and it's very addictive :)

I'm building https://matgoat.com/en/

A way for BJJ and martial arts academy owners to manage attendance, payments, class schedules, and student progress.

I train BJJ myself and saw how much time instructors lose to admin work, so I wanted something simpler and more focused than the generic gym software out there and have been having a lot of fun building it with feedback from real academies.

I think the problem is precisely that for some books there are not too many copies around like you described and if they destroy them we might eventually lose access to them directly. It might sound too extreme, but I understand the fear behind this.

MatGoat (https://matgoat.com/en/): a software for managing BJJ and martial arts academies that it's both easy to use and have everything they need like assistance tracking, payments, communications, etc.

It's going quite well so far with growing MRR each month.

Lately, I've been trying to focus more on marketing, and sales. I might try ads soon as well.

It's called MatGoat[1], and it's going quite well so far. Nowadays I'm working more on the marketing/sales side.

Keep working on MatGoat (https://matgoat.com/en/) - management software for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and other martial arts' academies.

I train BJJ and kept hearing the same pain points from academy owners regarding attendance tracking, communications, missing payments, etc.

So I built a tool for martial arts academies in 2024 with belts progression, automated payments, attendance tracking, and a tablet check-in system. Nowadays I'm still onboarding new academies every week and working a bit more on the marketing side to keep growing.
