For martial arts instructors who teach privates

Your private lessons, off the dojo whiteboard and paid ahead.

Sell privates, semis and grading-prep packs from one link, separate from the club's memberships. Students and parents pay by card, e-transfer or a pack, and a note after each lesson keeps parents in the loop. Free to start, CA$19 a month when you grow.

No card · 30 days of Solo free · 0% commission, ever

What eats a martial arts instructor's week, and what Lessonluma does about it.

Privates get booked on a whiteboard and paid whenever.

Your open times are bookable from one link and paid ahead by card, e-transfer or a pack credit.

Grading prep packs are sold in person and tracked in your head.

Packs of 5 and 10 count down themselves; students see what's left after every lesson.

Parents of junior students want to know what's next.

A two-line note after each lesson goes to the parent, and every message to a minor copies a parent.

Runs itself

Reminders, rainouts and nudges, sent for you.

What your students and their parents actually receive, written from your real times, places and prices:

Progress noteEmail to parent
Hiro today: Heian Sandan is solid; stances still high in the back half. Practise 3 times before Saturday. 3 privates left on the pack.
ReminderSMS to parent
Reminder: Hiro's private tomorrow 5:00 pm at the dojo. Reply C to cancel (free until 24 h before). – Sensei Kenji
WaitlistSMS to student
A spot opened in Saturday's grading-prep workshop and you're in (CA$30, pay here: [link]). – Kenji Sato

Every text names you and says how to stop. Messages about a minor always copy a parent. Promotions only go to people who said yes.

The rain button

Cancelled ice, closed gym, sick day? One tap tells everyone.

Tap Rain on a lesson, a clinic or a whole day. Everyone booked gets your next open times or a credit, and their calendar updates.

Questions martial arts instructors ask

Does this replace my dojo's membership software?

No. Memberships and class check-in stay where they are. Lessonluma books and bills your private lessons, separately from the club.

Can I teach privates at more than one place?

Yes. Keep a list of your usual places and choose one per lesson.

Can parents of two students share one pack?

Yes. One family balance covers every child.

Can I add a grading-prep workshop?

Yes, as a clinic with a cap, a price per head and a waitlist.

What does Lessonluma cost?

Free for up to 10 active students (anyone booked in the last 30 days), with cards at 3.9% + CA$0.30 and e-transfer and cash free. Solo is CA$19 a month (CA$190 a year) for unlimited students, text reminders and the rain button, with cards at Stripe's cost. We never take a cut of a lesson.

What happens after the trial, or in the off-season?

Your first 30 days unlock Solo with no card. On day 31 you're back on Free limits unless you pick a plan, and you're never locked out of your students. Off-season, pause for CA$0 for up to 6 months a year: your page, students and credits stay live, and a new booking wakes the plan.
