As I stepped into the bustling arena of the National Championships, armed with nothing but my trusty iPad and the first official version of MyDojo World, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement and anticipation. This was the moment I had been waiting for – the chance to showcase our revolutionary app and transform the way martial arts schools engage with their students and parents.

As I made my way around speaking with instructors, vendors, and officials the feedback was great(ish). Everyone seemed intrigued by the sleek design of the app and the promise of enhanced communication and engagement. It was clear that MyDojo World had captured their attention – but little did I know, the real challenge lay ahead.

As I began demonstrating the app to eager onlookers, it became apparent that while they thought it was a fantastic idea, many found it too complicated to implement effectively. Despite its innovative features and potential benefits, the initial version of MyDojo World was met with skepticism and apprehension.

After a week of being disheartened and sulking (just a little bit), I saw this as an opportunity to learn and grow. Taking feedback from our initial users to heart, we set out to streamline MyDojo World and make it as simple and user-friendly as possible. Our goal was clear: to create a solution that any martial arts school could implement with ease, regardless of their technical expertise.

And so, after countless months of refinement and iteration, we unveiled the new and improved MyDojo World – a streamlined and intuitive platform that could be up and running in just 24 hours. From simplified onboarding processes to intuitive navigation, every aspect of the app and toolkit was designed with simplicity in mind.

The response is overwhelming. Martial arts schools from across the world have been embracing MyDojo World with open arms, thrilled by the prospect of finally having a tool that could help them retain and gain students effortlessly (we are even in the process of developing French and Spanish versions)  With its user-friendly interface and powerful features, MyDojo World quickly became the obvious solution for martial arts schools looking to enhance engagement and foster stronger connections with their students and parents.

With the MyDojo World toolkit, martial arts schools everywhere are poised to embark on a new era of growth, retention, and success.
