The challenges of managing a Muay Thai gym
These are the problems Muay Thai coaches mention most often
Khan and prajied systems, or none at all
Some gyms grade with prajied colors, others reject formal ranks entirely. Software should support a khan ladder without forcing one on a traditional camp.
Extensive technical curriculum
Elbows, knees, clinch work, sweeps, and combinations layer over years. Students need to know what to drill next, and coaches need a place to keep the curriculum.
Fight preparation
Nak muay preparing for fights need targeted sparring, weight management, and a camp plan. Their records live next to members who just come to hit pads.
A revolving door of members
Muay Thai attracts fitness members, travelers, and short-term students alongside the committed core. Memberships start and stop constantly, and tracking who is active takes work.
Cash by the ring
Fees collected in cash between rounds get forgotten, and nobody enjoys asking a training partner for money. Collections need to run without the coach playing accountant.
One coach, many hats
The head coach holds pads, runs the clinch rounds, matches fighters, and answers every message. Admin competes with coaching, and coaching should win.
What Muay Thai gym software should actually do
Muay Thai gyms inherit a camp culture where the coach's attention belongs on the pads and in the clinch, not on paperwork. A modern gym in Europe or the Americas also runs like a small business: monthly memberships, a packed evening schedule, insurance, and a waiting list for the beginner class. The two halves compete for the same hours of the day, and the business half tends to get whatever energy is left after the last round.
Generic booking software solves the wrong half. It can take a card payment, but it cannot tell you who is ready for their first interclub, how a fighter trained during camp, or which of last month's beginners already stopped coming. Those answers decide whether a gym keeps its students and builds fighters.
MatGoat records attendance on a tablet by the door, split by class type: technique, bag work, clinch, sparring, and conditioning each keep their own history. Levels are optional and configurable, so a gym that grades with prajied colors and a camp that refuses formal ranks both fit. Each nak muay's profile carries their history either way.
Fighters get their own layer: custom fields for record, weight, and medical checks, private coach notes for camp plans, and a class history that shows whether preparation matched the plan. The video library keeps your curriculum, from clinch entries and elbow setups to the combinations you actually teach, organized by level.
Payments run by direct debit with 0% commission, so the monthly cash round disappears. Announcements reach everyone by email and push notification, and the statistics show which classes fill and which members are drifting away. None of it needs the coach to leave the floor.
Shows and interclubs punctuate the calendar. The event calendar keeps dates visible to the right groups, gear or ticket charges are recorded per member, and after the show the fight team's records are updated in minutes. None of it requires a second tool or another spreadsheet.

How MatGoat helps your camp
Features adapted for Muay Thai gyms
SOLUTION #1
Levels that match your culture
Configure prajied khan levels with their colors, a simple beginner-to-advanced scale, or no ranks at all. Promotions are recorded with dates when you use them, and each nak muay's profile keeps the full history. The system adapts to how your gym already works.
Prajied khan levels, simple scales, or no ranks
Promotion history with dates
Progress visible in the app
SOLUTION #2
Attendance by class type
Members check in on the included tablet by tapping their photo. Technique, bag work, clinch, sparring, and conditioning each keep their own attendance history, so you know who actually sparred this month and which classes carry the schedule. When the beginner class outgrows its time slot, the numbers say so weeks before the crowding does.
SOLUTION #3
Your curriculum on video
Upload clinch entries, elbow setups, teeps, sweeps, and full combinations into collections organized by level. Students drill the details between classes, and the fight team reviews fight footage in its own collections. The curriculum stops living only in the coach's memory.
Clinch, elbows, and combinations organized by level, visible to the right students.
SOLUTION #4
Payments without the cash round
Collect monthly fees by direct debit with 0% commission. Automatic reminders handle failed receipts, and one-off charges such as gear or event tickets sit on each member profile. Flexible plans cover the committed core and the two-classes-a-week crowd alike.
Collected fees, pending receipts, and membership plans in one dashboard.
SOLUTION #5
Messages that actually arrive
Announce a schedule change, message the fight team about a show, or contact one member about their plan. Email and push notifications replace the pinned message that nobody scrolls back to find, and announcements can target a single group when the news only concerns them.
Academy-wide announcements
Messages for specific groups
Email and push notifications
SOLUTION #6
Statistics that keep the gym honest
Attendance by class and member shows which sessions fill, how the seasons swing, and who is quietly fading. A member who dropped from four sessions a week to one is the retention conversation that matters this month, and the dashboard points straight at it.
Attendance by class and member makes quiet exits visible early.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. MatGoat is fully customizable. Configure prajied colors, level names, and requirements to match your camp, or skip formal ranks entirely and use a simple scale such as beginner, intermediate, and fighter. Promotions, when you use them, are recorded with dates on each profile, and the ladder can evolve as the gym does.
You create collections by khan or level and by technical category: clinch entries, elbows, knees, kicks, sweeps. Students access the content for their level, so beginners drill fundamentals while advanced students study the finer setups. Fight footage can live in separate collections for the fight team.
Yes. Keep each fighter's record, weight, and medical dates in custom fields, use private coach notes for camp plans and opponent analysis, and track camp sessions through a fight team class type. After the show, you update the record fields and the history stays on the profile.
MatGoat costs $40 per month for gyms with up to 50 members and $60 per month for unlimited members. Both plans include the check-in tablet and the video library. There are no setup fees, no per-member charges, and no commission on payments. You can try everything free for 30 days without a credit card.
No. Many Muay Thai gyms run without formal ranks, and MatGoat works fine that way: profiles, attendance, payments, and videos all function without levels. If you later adopt prajied khan grading or a simple internal scale, you add it without restructuring anything else. Profiles simply show attendance and payment history, which is all many camps want.
Yes. Muay Thai gyms see travelers and short-term students constantly. Add them as members and record their payments like anyone else, and if they return next season, their profile and history are still there. The member list stays honest, which keeps your statistics meaningful and your retention numbers based on people who actually intended to stay.
Yes. The tablet sits by the door and members check in by tapping their photo, which takes about a second. The coach sees the class fill from their own screen and never has to leave the pads. Most gyms run the whole system without any front desk staff, and new students understand the photo grid without an explanation.
Yes. Kids classes keep their own schedule, attendance history, and progression, and parents manage their children from one account and receive every announcement. A steady kids program is how many Muay Thai gyms stabilize their income, and its numbers stay clearly separated from the adult side.
Export your member list to a CSV file and import it into MatGoat. Most gyms complete the initial setup in under 15 minutes. The team is available by WhatsApp and email during the move, and a video call is available if you want help modeling your schedule or plans. Your data stays yours, and you can export it again at any time.
Yes. Sparring is its own class type, so you know exactly who sparred and how often. Coaches use that history to match partners fairly, to confirm a member is ready for their first interclub, and to keep an eye on anyone stacking too many hard rounds in a month.
