Kansas City, Missouri
Kansas City sits at the crossroads of Midwestern BJJ — Pedro Sauer affiliates anchor the lineage side, the wrestling tradition runs deep through Missouri and Kansas state-school systems, and the metro spans both states (Missouri side and Kansas side) with gyms in the Plaza, Westport, Overland Park, and Lee's Summit. The market is mid-sized, family-heavy, and price-conscious — every dollar of fee structure shows up.
The local picture
Why it works for Kansas City
OLM's pay-as-you-grow pricing keeps a 150-member KC academy at $300/mo in fees instead of a $300/mo SaaS subscription on top of per-transaction fees. For wrestling-crossover members, OLM's training journal supports separate stand-up and ground axes, so a returning college wrestler's strengths show up on their radar chart from day one. And for family memberships in Overland Park, the guardian / dependent model lets one parent manage 3 kids and a spouse under one billing relationship — each individual has their own rank, journal, and waiver, but billing rolls up to one charge.
In every BJJ gym, anywhere
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.
