Honest Comparison

Combat Control
vs
Martialytics

Long-tenured martial arts CRM that covers BJJ alongside karate, taekwondo and MMA.

Martialytics has been running since 2013 and serves academies across most martial arts. They cover BJJ alongside karate, taekwondo and MMA in one tool. Combat Control is narrower on purpose. We only do BJJ, and we're built for Australian academies. Both products work. This page tells you which one fits your gym.

Where Martialytics Wins

  • ✓Established 2013, with a bigger existing customer base than any BJJ-only platform.
  • ✓Covers karate, taekwondo and MMA in the same tool. Useful if your academy runs more than just BJJ.
  • ✓More integrations into the legacy fitness ecosystem.
  • ✓Larger third-party plugin and template marketplace.

Where Combat Control Wins

  • ✓BJJ-native. Belts, stripes and IBJJF-aligned promotions are first-class, not afterthoughts.
  • ✓Lifecycle automations across the full student journey: at-risk re-engagement, trial conversion, win-back, dunning. Configurable per gym, editable templates, no black-box logic.
  • ✓Australian-first. BECS direct debit through Stripe, AUD pricing, AU compliance baked in.
  • ✓Modern student experience. Mobile-first web app, no download required, social proof on class bookings, streaks and progress visualisation.
  • ✓Direct Stripe. Your money goes to your account, not held by a middleman.
  • ✓Multi-gym network features for franchises. Regional director dashboard, one-click impersonation, cross-gym analytics.
