Kanri is a management SaaS platform designed for jiu-jitsu academies, combat sports gyms, and martial arts teaching environments, with an emphasis on “managing your academy from your phone.” It is not a generic CRM; instead, it is built around instructors, coaches, students, and academy operations, covering workflows such as student profiles, finance, attendance, class booking, belt/rank progression, merchandise sales, and notifications.
The platform provides mobile apps for instructors, students, and coaches. Students can self-register and link to an academy via an instructor code. Instructors can manage schedules, student belts/ranks, monthly fees, costs, reports, and orders; students can view their progress, financial status, notifications, and purchase products. For attendance, Kanri supports one-tap class attendance entry, while Kanri Totem lets students check in by scanning a QR code. Kanri Access goes further by integrating facial recognition readers, turnstiles, or magnetic locks, allowing gyms to block students with overdue payments from entering and automatically check them in. For payments and localization, the documentation explicitly supports boleto, Asaas boleto, and Asaas recurring billing. WhatsApp payment-due reminders require a separate messaging service purchase. Kanri also offers a personalized subdomain website that can display services and plans and integrate online booking, but the setup fee must be requested separately.
Kanri’s pricing is relatively transparent, with tiers based on student capacity from 30 to 600 students and monthly fees ranging from R$59 to R$309. All plans include the instructor app, student app, coach app, finance, reports, classes, virtual store, contracts, Asaas payments, and related features. A 14-day trial is available, and the student app is free. The Enterprise plan is aimed at team managers and requires contacting sales. Outside Brazil, only the Intermediate, Advanced, and Ultra plans are available on semiannual or annual terms, and payment methods must be confirmed with the company.
Kanri’s strengths lie in its strong fit for a vertical use case: finance, overdue-payment reminders, check-ins, access control, belt/rank tracking, and the store form a closed operational loop. Its mobile-first design makes it well suited to small academies without dedicated front desk or IT staff. Pricing scales with academy size, keeping the entry cost manageable. The main drawback is limited disclosure around security and compliance: the materials only state that data is stored on highly redundant, low-latency servers. We did not see information about APIs, an open platform, granular permissions, audit logs, or compliance certifications. The video library feature is marked as unavailable, and some hardware, website, and messaging capabilities require additional configuration or fees.
Kanri is best suited to jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and similar training academies in Brazil and Portuguese-speaking markets, especially instructors or gym owners who prioritize monthly fee collection, student attendance, and mobile management. Users in China should note that the interface and support languages may be primarily Portuguese, while network connectivity and payment availability are uncertain. If serving students in mainland China, it may be more practical to evaluate local gym management systems, WeChat mini-program booking and payment tools, or international alternatives such as Mindbody, Glofox, Zen Planner, TeamUp, and Gymdesk.
