Boston, Massachusetts

BJJ gym software, built for Boston academies.

Boston's BJJ scene is small, technical, and disproportionately competitive. Mass BJJ and a tight bench of independents serve the city, the Back Bay, and Cambridge, drawing heavily from the Harvard-MIT-BU graduate-student demographic. Members tend to be analytical, tournament-minded, and willing to drive an hour to Worcester or Providence for a Saturday seminar with the right instructor.

The local picture

What Boston BJJ owners actually deal with

  • Universities driving 80% of new signups in September and 60% of cancellations in May
  • Heavy tournament travel — members competing at IBJJF Boston, NAGA, ADCC trials need add-on billing for competition team
  • Severe winters causing 2-4 week attendance dips — owners need to distinguish weather from real churn

Why it works for Boston

An analytical roster wants software they can actually inspect.

OLM's analytics dashboard exposes the underlying numbers — daily active members, weekly cohort retention, churn-risk scores per member — with full CSV export so a Harvard PhD member can run their own analysis if they want. The AI Monitor surfaces churn risk based on attendance drop-off patterns over a 14-day window, with the data-source class sessions visible behind the score. For tournament-team members, a separate add-on subscription handles competition-team dues stacked on the base membership, with separate Stripe line items for clean accounting.

In every BJJ gym, anywhere

The full BJJ feature set

  • Belt & stripe tracking that follows the athlete

    Every promotion is recorded with the issuing professor, date, and note. When a student ever moves or tries another academy that also runs OLM, they bring their full lineage — not a self-reported belt and a story about their old gym. You verify years of history in seconds.

  • One profile. Every OLM academy.

    Training journal entries, class check-ins, and belt history are keyed to the member, not locked to your database. New members walk in with real, verifiable progression — and the ones who leave keep their journal. Athletes respect that.

  • Training journal with AI coach

    After class, members log tags or drop a voice note. OLM maps their game to an 8-axis chart — Guard, Passing, Submissions, Sweeps — and coaches them on weak areas.

  • Seminar & open-mat billing

    One-off Stripe charges for seminars, private lessons, or drop-ins. Flat 3% platform fee — proportional to ticket size, no monthly subscription on top.

  • Churn alerts before they quit

    AI Monitor watches attendance patterns and flags members 14 days before they churn. You text them, not an apology email after they cancel.

  • Waivers that hold up

    Finger-drawn e-signatures, SHA-256 audit trail, IP stamp. Minor forms with parent second-signer. Annual auto-renewal reminders.
