Martial arts academies use a standard attendance card for record-keeping
Students mark the card & this is the basis for attendance, promotions payments, student history etc...
Martial arts academy owners are generally not very tech-savvy.

What Is The Problem?
Manual Records
The attendance card is paper-based. The data is one drink spill away from disaster.
Admin Nightmare

Students Access
