๐Ÿฅ‹ AI Receptionist for Martial Arts Schools

Fill Your Mats. Keep Your Students. Grow Your Academy.

Ava answers every inquiry, books trial classes, and captures leads 24/7, then runs the enrollment campaigns and win-back sequences that keep your mats full season after season.

Sound Familiar?

Every martial arts academy deals with these. The ones growing their student base have fixed them.

๐Ÿ“ต

Trial Inquiries Going Unanswered

A parent calls about kids' BJJ classes during your 6 PM session. Nobody answers. They Google another academy and their kid is enrolled there by the weekend.

๐Ÿ“‹

Front Desk Can't Handle Peak Hours

Sign-ins, equipment questions, phone calls, and walk-in inquiries all hit at once during after-school rush. Something always slips.

๐Ÿ“‰

Trial Leads That Never Convert

You get 30 trial inquiries a month. Only a third actually show up, and half of those never sign up. The follow-up isn't happening consistently.

๐Ÿ””

Belt Testing & Event Communication is Manual

Texting or calling individual students about belt testing eligibility, seminar schedules, or tournament dates takes hours each time.

How Ava Helps Your Martial Arts Academy

From trial class booking to belt testing notifications, built for martial arts academies across Canada.

๐Ÿ“ž

24/7 Call Answering

Every inquiry answered in under 1 second. Parents calling about kids' classes at 8 PM get the same quality response as a weekday morning call.

๐Ÿฅ‹

Trial Class Booking

Ava books free trial classes right on the call, checking schedule availability, capturing the student's name, age, and goals, and sending a confirmation with location and what to wear.

๐ŸŽฏ

Lead Qualification

Ava qualifies every inquiry: age, interest (kids/adult, style preference), schedule availability, and goals. Your team gets warm leads, not cold callbacks.

๐Ÿ’ฌ

SMS Auto-Reply

Prospects can text your number with questions. Ava handles the full conversation, from martial arts style inquiry to booked trial.

๐Ÿ””

Appointment Reminders

Automated SMS reminders before trial classes and seminars. Dramatically reduce no-shows and increase trial-to-enrollment conversion.

๐Ÿฅ‹

Trial Class Campaigns

Ava texts or calls leads who inquired but never enrolled, with a personalized trial offer and a direct booking link. Convert interest into bodies on the mat.

๐Ÿ†

Belt Testing Reminders

Ava notifies eligible students (and their parents) when they're ready for their next belt test, details, timing, and registration all in one message.

๐Ÿ”„

Lapsed Student Win-Back

Students who dropped off get a personal outreach from Ava, a warm check-in with an exclusive come-back offer. Most academies recover 15-25% of lapsed students this way.

๐Ÿ“ฑ

Instagram & Facebook DM Auto-Reply

Every 'Do you have kids' classes?' DM gets an instant, friendly reply from Ava, schedule, pricing, and a free trial booking link.

โ— Live Call

Caller

Hi, I'm looking for martial arts classes for my 8-year-old son. Do you have kids' programs?
๐Ÿค–
Yes, we do! We have kids' classes starting at age 5. Is your son completely new to martial arts, or has he trained before?

Caller

Brand new. We're not sure which style is best, karate or jiu-jitsu?
๐Ÿค–
Both are great for kids. Karate is fantastic for discipline and striking fundamentals. Jiu-jitsu focuses on grappling and is excellent for building confidence. We offer a free trial class in both, many families try one and decide from there.

Caller

That sounds great. Can we try a karate class first?
๐Ÿค–
Absolutely! Our kids' karate classes run Monday and Wednesday at 4:30 PM, and Saturday at 10 AM. Would any of those work?

Caller

Saturday at 10 would be perfect.
๐Ÿค–
Saturday at 10 AM, free trial booked! Can I get your name and the best number for the confirmation?

Caller

Jessica Park, 905-555-0144.
๐Ÿค–
Thanks Jessica! I've sent a confirmation text with the address and a note on what to wear. We look forward to seeing your son Saturday!
