Think your club's too small for EFC – then you're wrong! With all members on Direct Debit, we now have consistent cash flow and expert support. Would recommend without reservations!
Peter Owen
Owner of Urban Combat
Having been with EFC for nearly 10 years, I grew from zero members in 2016 to nearly 700 students across seven locations today – even through COVID. If you’re serious about growing your martial arts business, this is the place to be!
Richard Jago
Owner of ProActive Martial Arts
Since joining, EFC has been the smoothest part of my business – always quick and professional. Their annual conference is worth it for beginner and veteran school owners alike. 10/10, highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions

How long does setup take?

We work at your pace to get you up and running smoothly. Most schools are fully operational within 2-4 weeks, with ongoing training and support from your dedicated Account Manager. We handle the heavy lifting with setup, training, and testing so you can stay focused on running your school.

Can I use my current website?

Absolutely. If you're happy with your current design, we can connect it to the EFC CRM to capture and track leads automatically. If you'd like to update your site, our Website team can rebuild it using proven layouts that turn visitors into students. Either way, your website will work as part of your business system, not separate from it.

Do I have to switch billing providers?

Yes. EFC handles your student billing and payment processing directly using our modern EFC Billing collection system that is fully integrated with your school management software. This makes the collection of your fees hassle-free and automated. Our admin team is on hand to free you from time-consuming tasks, and our call centre is available to support your members, leaving you with peace of mind and the time to concentrate on providing five-star service.

What kind of support do I get?

You'll have a dedicated Account Manager and support team. The EFC support team, our online tutorials, and onsite visits will help you seamlessly implement the systems into your business. Our support is continuous and ongoing.

What's the difference between you and other software providers?

We're not just a software company. EFC is a complete growth system built specifically for martial arts schools. You get fee collection handled by our team, software that actually works together, proven business coaching, and a supportive community—all working together to help you grow. We've been doing this for 58 years globally, with over 27 years supporting schools across the UK & Ireland.
