Rulla vs MAAT
A MAAT alternative that goes deeper than belts and attendance.
What is MAAT?
MAAT is combat-sports gym management software built by BJJ practitioners for BJJ and MMA academies, with attendance, belt and rank management, bookings, payments, and a student app. It has strong traction with European academies and multilingual support.
- BJJ and MMA gyms in Europe that want multilingual software
