Are you spending more time running your business than growing it?

You didn’t open your school to chase payments, fix websites, or manage spreadsheets.
You did it to teach, grow, and make an impact.
But most school owners are stuck running their business on disconnected tools that don’t deliver results.
Website traffic issues
Your website isn’t bringing in enough visitors or potential leads, which makes it difficult to generate growth and expand your online business effectively.
Integration problems
Your CRM and billing systems are not connected, resulting in frequent errors and creating extra manual work for your team every week.
Manual task overload
Manual tasks take up too much time for your team each week, slowing down business operations and preventing you from focusing on growth.
Lack of insights
Tracking how marketing and retention efforts impact revenue is challenging, making it hard to optimize your strategies and improve overall results.
It’s a cycle of frustration — lost students, wasted time, and stalled growth.

Frequently asked questions

How long does setup take?
Most schools are up and running within 2–4 weeks, depending on the size of your student base and whether we are building your website or connecting your current one.  Our team handles the heavy lifting with setup, training, and testing so you can stay focused on running your school while we handle the tech.
Do I have to switch billing providers?
Yes. EFC handles your student billing and payment processing directly.  Switching is simple and guided by our onboarding team. We migrate your student data, set up your billing cycles, and help you go live with minimal disruption to your business.
Can I use my current website?
Yes, you can.  If you are happy with your current design, we can connect it to the EFC CRM to capture and track leads automatically.  If you want to update your site, our Website team can rebuild it using proven layouts that turn visitors into students. Either way, your website will finally work as part of your business system, not separate from it.
What kind of support do I get?

Every EFC client gets real, responsive support from people who understand martial arts businesses.

  • Essentials: Email support with guided onboarding
  • Professional: Priority support with a dedicated onboarding specialist
  • Enterprise: Direct access to your account manager for ongoing optimization and growth

Our support covers more than technical issues. We help you solve real business challenges, not just software ones.

What’s the difference between you and Spark, Zenplanner, or Wellness Living?

Those platforms were built for gyms and fitness studios. EFC was built for martial arts schools, and that changes everything.

  • Specialized tools: Belt tracking, student retention, and school growth systems designed specifically for martial arts.
  • All-in-one ecosystem: EFC connects your website, billing, and CRM in one platform so you do not have to juggle multiple systems.
  • Experience: 58 years focused on martial arts business success, not general fitness management.
  • Community: Ongoing education, coaching, and peer connection through the EFC Summit and Circle Community.

EFC is not just software. It is a complete growth system designed for the way martial arts schools actually run.
