San Yama Ryu Bujutsu
A traditional school with an adult path and a kids and family path. Its 22-page website, instructor roster, trial and demo forms, and the whole member app all run on Tatami.
Read the storyThe ground you train on. The path you follow.
A tatami is the mat every student trains on, every day. The Way is the path from a first bow to black belt. Tatami Way gives your dojo both: a website built around your story, and one place to run classes, curriculum, attendance, families and promotions.
Build your dojo, one mat at a time.
Each mat is one part of Tatami. Start from a plan, or pick mats up and lay them down, and see each one at work in Tatami Dojo. A mat you pick up keeps everything on it.
Point at a mat to see it. Select it to pick it up or lay it down. On a keyboard, the arrow keys move between mats.

How we build it, together
We learn your dojo
Your story, lineage, programs, students and the families you want to reach.
We design it with you
Layout, colours, type and copy made for your school, reviewed with you before anything goes live.
We build and launch
On your own domain, with request forms wired to your inquiry inbox from day one.
You keep it current
Change copy, photos and the timetable yourself. Need a new page or program? We build it.
From the front door to black belt.
A new student finds your website, books a trial, joins, trains and earns the next belt. Tatami is there at each step, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Your curriculum, organised by belt, with video and step-by-step breakdowns. Students see exactly what they need for their next rank and keep studying between classes.
- Flashcards that space themselves
- Assigned reading with quizzes you approve
- Questions go straight to the Sensei
Run the dojo
Weekly classes and seminars, front-desk check-in, roll call from your phone, and a clear view of who is ready for their next belt, down to the belts you need to order.
- RSVPs and “find a date” polls
- Streaks, consistency and time in grade
- Belt orders sized for the next promotion
Running through all of it is your dojo community: group chats by class, rank or age group, announcements to everyone, and a private line between each parent and your instructors. Members get it as an app on their home screen.
Most gym software is built around billing. Tatami is built around teaching.
Keep the tool you use to collect dues. Tatami gives your dojo the part it never had.
What gym software usually covers
- Memberships and payments
- A sign-up page
- A class calendar
- Check-ins
What Tatami adds

- Your curriculum by belt, with video and steps

- Parents RSVP and message on a child’s behalf
- See a child’s training exactly as they see it
- A private line between each parent and the instructors
- Age groups with their own chats, set up automatically
Running at real dojos today.
Two schools, two very different starting points.
Jissen Martial Arts
Jissen started with its website: its own design, edited in house, with the timetable and sensei portrait updated without a developer. It keeps its existing tool for memberships and billing, side by side with Tatami.
Read the story
Start with one mat.
Begin with your website. Add training, operations and families when you’re ready. Pick a mat up and nothing is lost; lay it down again and it’s all still there.
The Founding Dojo program
We’re working closely with our first dojos. You get a website designed with you, hands-on setup and a founding rate that stays with you. We ask for honest feedback along the way.
How it worksSee what Tatami could do for your dojo.
In a 30-minute demo we’ll walk through Tatami Dojo, show you the sites we’ve built, and talk about what yours could be.
