The family's side
How families find you.
Three steps from a parent's search to your front door.
Step 1 · Search1They search their area
A parent types their town or ZIP, then picks who's training (kids, teens, adults) and the style they want.
Step 2 · Compare2They choose your school
Side by side, they compare class photos, the head coach, programs by age, Google reviews and your trial offer. Then they pick the one that fits.
Step 3 · Contact3You get the lead
One tap sends them to your own website, your phone or your trial booking. The inquiry is 100% yours. We never collect it.
Search. Compare. Contact you directly. No forms in between and no fees.
Our mission
Yelp changed how people pick restaurants. We're doing it for Martial Arts.
Our goal is to make The Mat Network the first place families everywhere look when choosing a Martial Arts school. Your school is most likely listed already, whether you have claimed it or not.
This is happening with or without you. The only question is what families see when they find your school: your real photos, your coach and your trial offer, or a bare listing next to a competitor who claimed theirs.

What we're building
A better way for families to find Martial Arts, and for them to find you.
Our goal is simple: when a parent in your town searches for Martial Arts, The Mat Network is the first place they land, and your school is right there.

Every town gets its own page, built to show up when families search for Martial Arts near them.
Found by style
Families zero in on what they want: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, Muay Thai, kids classes and more.
Straight to you
Every visit sends families to your own website, phone and trial offer. We never collect or sell their details.

Basic listing vs claimed profile
Claim it and your profile comes to life.

What claiming does for your school
Put your name and details in once. Here is how it works for you.
Your Google reviews, front and center
We show your Google rating and a few of your best five-star reviews, each linked back to Google so parents can read the rest.
Your trial offer, featured
List your intro offer. It gets its own highlighted box with a button straight to your booking page.
Your social pages connected
Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok linked from your profile, so parents see real class life.
A bio for your coaches
A short bio, rank and photo for your head instructor, so families know who is teaching.
A link back to your website
Every button points to your own site and phone. A trusted outside page linking to your school.
Google-ready business details
Each profile carries local business data (name, address, phone, website and socials) in the format Google reads, matching what's on your Google listing.
Camps and parties pages
Run birthday parties or summer camps? Get listed on those pages too, free.
Checked by a real person
Every new claim is reviewed by our team before it goes live, so only real schools appear next to yours.
Why academies join
Free. One more place families find you.
Parents check more than one place before they book a trial. The more places your academy shows up, the more chances they have to pick you.
Free, start to finish
No fee to list, no card, nothing to buy, no cut of your sign-ups.
An independent voice
Families trust an outside guide differently from a school's own ads. Real Google ratings sit right on your profile.
Every stage of interest
Some parents book today. Others are still reading up. We help both find you.
Every click goes to you
“Visit website” and “Book intro” land on your own site and phone, never a third-party form.
Built to rank town by town
We do the work of getting your town's page found on Google. You don't lift a finger.
Your coaching on display
Show your head coach, rank and lineage so families see who's teaching their kids.
Owner FAQ
Straight answers.
Every independent academy is welcome. You stay in control of everything you submit.
Is it really free?+
Yes. No credit card, nothing to buy, no trial that turns into a bill. The basic profile stays free. If we ever add paid extras, they will be optional and clearly labelled.
My school is already listed. Do I have to do anything?+
No. Your listing stays up either way. But families will see it next to schools that claimed theirs, with photos, a coach bio and a trial offer. Unclaimed, you look like the school that isn't paying attention. Claiming takes a few minutes.
How do I sign in without a password?+
You enter your email and we send you a one-time sign-in link. Click it and you're in. It's the same method Slack and Notion use: nothing to remember, nothing to leak.
How do you know I really own the school?+
Every claim starts as pending. A real person on our team checks it against your website, Google listing and contact details before anything changes. Nobody can take over your profile by just typing in your school's name.
Where do families go when they want to contact us?+
Straight to you: your website, your phone or your trial-offer link. We don't sit in the middle, collect the lead or take a cut.
My competitors are listed too. Why bother?+
They're listed whether you join or not. You can't control their profile, only yours. When a parent compares schools in your town, make sure yours is the one that looks complete.
Can I list more than one location?+
Yes. Each location gets its own profile, managed from the same owner account.
Do I have to link back to you?+
No. A badge or a share is welcome, never required.
