MatGoat

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Jose, founder of MatGoat. After spending years in the BJJ community and talking to dozens of academy owners across Spain and Latin America, I kept hearing the same frustrations: "I spend more time chasing payments and tracking attendance in spreadsheets than actually teaching." Most gym management software is built for generic fitness centers—not for martial arts academies with belt progressions, kid programs, and the unique community dynamics that make BJJ special. So I built MatGoat specifically for BJJ academies with: - 🥋 Automatic attendance tracking with tablet check-in at the door - 💳 Payment automation that handles SEPA, failed payments, and awkward collection conversations - 📊 Progression tracking tied to actual mat time, not just calendar months - 👨‍👩‍👧 Parent communication built-in for kids programs - 🇪🇸 Spanish-first (with English support) because our community deserves tools in our language The journey: Started as a BJJ practitioner frustrated by watching my coach juggle paper sign-in sheets while running a 100+ student academy. Talked to 20+ academy owners to understand what actually matters. Built the MVP. Now we're here. What's next: We're rolling out competition prep tracking and video technique libraries based on early user feedback. Would love to hear from anyone running a martial arts academy—what's your biggest operational headache? 🤙 Oss!
