Wasim Ketchen
Owner of Ketchen Karate
EFC changed my life. It's a great culture, a true martial arts culture. If EFC disappeared tomorrow, it would be like losing a parent, losing your family.

EFC is the godfather of martial arts business. They helped me understand and practice systems, keep statistics, and get cutting-edge technology as well as cutting-edge systems.
Customer Story
Pete McHugh
Owner & Lead Instructor of McHugh Jiu-Jitsu
We've seen a massive improvement in retention since working with EFC, especially because the EFC software is so powerful. Just a little shift in retention pays huge dividends over the years.
Customer Story
Jim Bundy
Owner & 3rd Degree Black Belt of Team Bundy Jiu-Jitsu
Our culture came from EFC. The culture in most martial arts schools, whether you realize it or not, came from EFC.
Customer Story
Professor Bruce
Professor & Owner of B1 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
What I found out is that EFC wasn't just a payment processor or software program. They were also there to help educate you and help you grow your business.
Customer Story
Stephen Plyer
Owner of Elevated Studios Martial Arts
The EFC Software truly keeps every aspect of our business in one place. So it truly is like a one-stop shop. We use it for everything.
Customer Story
Renee Plyler
Co-Owner, Elevated Studios Martial Arts
We continued to see not just the growth in our school, but the growth in our mindset of what we can accomplish - seeing people in this industry experiencing success we didn't even have on our radar as a possibility.
Customer Story
Christopher Tersak
Owner of Tersak's Family Martial Arts
When we purchased the school, we inherited 140 students with an arrow going down. EFC was extremely helpful with getting us back to an upward trajectory again.
Customer Story
Jason Figliano
Owner of Canadian Black Belt Academy
What I love about EFC is they were at the forefront of the original concepts that have made school owners successful. It's all about honest martial arts instruction, integrity, and business management.

Frequently asked questions
How long does setup take?
Most schools are up and running within 2–4 weeks, depending on the size of your student base and whether we're building your website or connecting your current one. Our team handles the heavy lifting with setup, training, and testing so you can stay focused on running your school while we handle the tech.
Do I have to switch billing providers?
Yes. EFC handles your student billing and payment processing directly. Switching is simple and guided by our onboarding team. We migrate your student data, set up your billing cycles, and help you go live with minimal disruption to your business.
Can I use my current website?
Yes. If you're happy with your current design, we can connect it to EFC Customer Management to capture and track leads automatically. If you want to update your site, our team can rebuild it using proven layouts that turn visitors into students. Either way, your website works as part of your business system, not separate from it.
