Pound For Pound Rosenheim: Why This BJJ Gym Switched from Kicksite to MAAT

Introduction

Pound4 for Pound Rosenheim, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym located in southern Germany, was founded with a passion for providing high-quality training in a close-knit community.

Like many growing academies, they started with software that seemed functional but soon hit operational roadblocks.

Here’s how they moved from Kicksite to MAAT and why they’re not looking back.

Before MAAT: Outgrowing Kicksite

When Pound4 for Pound Rosenheim opened its doors, they initially used Kicksite, influenced by recommendations from friends.

But the limitations soon became clear:

• Only accessible via browser
• English-only interface
• No dedicated mobile app

"We lacked the option of different languages and an app."

The Breaking Point: Time Lost on Admin

Operational inefficiencies began to mount, especially around billing and payments.

"We couldn’t process many payments from our students, especially via Direct Debit,
and that was a big problem for us"

Why They Chose MAAT

Pound for Pound selected MAAT for several key reasons:

• Multi-language mobile App perfect for a German gym
• Built-in payment automation for Debit/Credit Card, Direct Debit and Digital Wallet
• Designed for combat sports workflows
• Responsive and localized customer support via Whatsapp

"We needed the option of different lenguages
and an App and MAAT solved this problem"

Before the Migration: Concerns About Change

Switching systems is rarely easy.

There were understandable concerns about data loss and disrupting gym operations.

"We were scared of losing our students data"

After the Migration: Smooth and Supported

The transition proved seamless.

MAAT’s support team provided clear guidance throughout the process, helping Dawid and the other members of team via Whatsapp.

"With the help of the support switching the systems was very easy."

A New Era: Streamlined and Student-Friendly

Since adopting MAAT:

• Class registrations are handled daily by students via the app.
• Payments are automated, drastically reducing accounting time.
• Coaches can now focus more on training and less on admin.

"Doing everything thru MAAT saved us a lot of time in accounting"

Conclusion

Now Dawid from Pound for Pound encourages other BJJ academies to consider MAAT if they're looking to simplify operations and reclaim valuable coaching time.

"I recommended this app because it allows us to devote more time for training."
