Hybrid & remote-first studios

Generic software wasn't built for academies. The ones that were charge premium add-on fees for the core thing every academy does — rank, curriculum, grading. So we built one that treats those as the foundation, not the upsell.

Members & money

From first lead to lifelong member — one record.

Full CRM, family accounts, digital waivers, Stripe subscriptions and automatic payment chasing. The whole member journey, in one place.

  • Family & multi-member accounts
  • Automatic payment recovery
  • Self-serve member portal
Members training together in a strength class
Curriculum & belts

The system the rest of the industry paywalls.

Disciplines, belt ladders, technique libraries, grading sessions and auto-promotion with certificates. Built in from day one — not a premium add-on.

  • Belt & rank ladders, any style
  • Automated eligibility checks
  • Auto-generated certificates

Built By

The founders you'd actually want building your studio and academy software.

Acadevo was built by school owners, for school owners — not by engineers who once "interviewed" a few. It came out of the spreadsheets, the front desks, and the late nights of an academy that ran on it before anyone else got their hands on it.

Sifu Edward and Sifu Julliana Armstrong

Sifu Edward & Sifu Julliana Armstrong

A builder and a champion.
A school and a stage.
A system that came out of both.

Edward built the largest Light Sword Martial Arts Academy in America from zero. Julliana won the national title three times and became the first American certified to referee the sport internationally. Between them, the operational rigor of a real school and the championship standard of a real competitor.

Acadevo is what happens when those two skill sets sit at the same kitchen table and decide their software is going to do better.

Sifu Edward Armstrong
Co-Founder & CEO·The Builder

Edward's domain is the build — the academy, the business system, and the wellness discipline beneath it. He grew the largest Light Sword Martial Arts Academy in America from zero, then turned a decade of operating data into the system every academy owner now licenses.

Sifu Julliana Armstrong
Co-Founder·The Champion

Julliana's domain is the standard in motion — competition and fitness. A three-time national champion and the first American certified to referee the sport internationally, she leads Total Saber Fit and carries the federation's championship standard onto the world stage.

The questions every studio or academy owner asks first.
What's the difference between Founders Launch and Martial Arts Pro?+
Two different products for two different buyers. Founders Launch is Acadevo Fit — the AI-powered studio platform for fitness studio owners (yoga, pilates, gym, dance, CrossFit, etc.). It's a one-time $497 payment for lifetime access, sold in a limited founders cohort. Martial Arts Pro is the academy brand operating system — curriculum, grading, competitions, multi-location, per-location branding — billed per location per month — Starter $97, Pro $197 — with a 20% volume discount at 2+ locations and a 0.5% platform fee. Both come with founder-led onboarding and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Pick the one that matches your studio or academy.
Is Acadevo really for martial arts schools, or just generic studios?+
Acadevo was built from the ground up for academies that have ranks, belts, techniques, and grading sessions. Disciplines, belt ladders, learning paths, eligibility checks, auto-promotion, PDF certificates — these are core features, not paid add-ons. We ship discipline presets for BJJ, Karate, Muay Thai, Judo, and MMA, plus the flexibility to build any custom system you need. That said, every operational feature (members, billing, classes, marketing, shop) works equally well for yoga, pilates, gyms, dance studios, and any training-based business.
How does the grading system work?+
You define your disciplines and belt ladders (or import a preset). For each target belt, you build a learning path — a checklist of techniques (mandatory or optional) the candidate must complete. When you plan a grading session, Acadevo auto-checks eligibility (time at current belt, age, classes attended, stripe requirement, curriculum completion %) and surfaces who's ready. During the session, examiners record per-technique pass/fail/score. On completion, all promotions happen atomically, certificates generate as PDFs, achievement badges trigger, and webhooks fire to any external systems you've connected.
Can I migrate from Mindbody / Zen Planner / FightKit / Glofox?+
You'll bring your own data. Export your members, schedules, billing history, and (where applicable) rank records from your current platform — most major systems offer CSV export — and import them into Acadevo yourself. Onboarding walks you through setup and training; the data move stays in your hands. That's intentional: your data, your timeline, your control. Most academies are running on Acadevo within 7–14 days.
Who owns the data — and what happens if I leave?+
You do, and you can export anytime. Members, schedules, payments, ranks, attendance, every record — all available as CSV. There's no paid export tier, no "premium data ownership" upsell, no retention call when you want to leave. The schema is documented and your tenant database is yours.
What payment processor do you use? Can I use my existing Stripe account?+
Stripe is the integrated processor for memberships, shop, and one-time charges. You connect your own Stripe account during setup — your money goes directly to your bank, not through us. We never touch member payments. Stripe webhooks drive subscription state, payment recovery, and order fulfillment.
What does pricing look like at scale?+
Founders Launch is a single one-time payment of $497 — no recurring charges. Martial Arts Pro scales with locations — Starter $97 and Pro $197 per location per month, with a 20% volume discount at 2+ locations. Federation-level or franchise contracts (8+ locations) get further volume discounts on annual terms — contact us for a custom quote.
How fast can I be live?+
Your subdomain provisions in minutes. With discipline presets, you're configured for your style of academy in under an hour. Importing your existing member and history data is on you — most operators allocate 3–7 days for it. Most schools are fully operational on Acadevo within two weeks of subscribing.

30-day money-back guarantee.

Get fully onboarded, run it live for a month, and if it's not right, email the founders for a full refund — no retention call, no hoops. Your data exports as CSV anytime. You're never locked in.
