Honest Comparison

Combat Control
vs
Martialytics

A long-running martial arts CRM with broad coverage of disciplines.

Martialytics is one of the longest-running martial arts gym management platforms. It covers BJJ alongside karate, taekwondo, MMA and most striking arts. Combat Control is the opposite — purpose-built for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academies in Australia, with AI-powered automations as the wedge. Both are credible choices; this page is an honest read on which fits your gym.

Where Martialytics Wins

  • ✓Longer track record — established 2013, large existing customer base.
  • ✓Multi-discipline coverage if you run more than just BJJ (karate, taekwondo, MMA all in one tool).
  • ✓More integrations with legacy fitness ecosystem tools.
  • ✓Larger third-party plugin and template marketplace.

Where Combat Control Wins

  • ✓Built specifically for BJJ — belts, stripes, IBJJF-aligned promotions are first-class, not afterthoughts.
  • ✓AI-powered automations: at-risk re-engagement, trial conversion, win-back, dunning all live and tunable per gym.
  • ✓Australian-first: BECS direct debit via Stripe, AUD pricing, AU compliance in mind.
  • ✓Modern, mobile-first student experience — no app download, 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.
