While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Written by the company

Ibishi (formerly Black Culm) has been building trusted martial arts management software for over 25 years. We focus on giving instructors the tools they actually need — without the gimmicks. We offer everything you'd expect from club management software; attendance tracking, custom grades, programmes and certificates, built in email systems, and so much more, including a well established competition entry and management system. But our platform goes far beyond basic instructor tools. Ibishi is a multi-tiered system designed for real top-down control, giving full oversight to clubs, instructors, and entire organisations — national or international. Whether you're a club owner with 50 students, a large organisation with multiple instructors, a licensing body managing applications, or a global federation coordinating black belt promotions across countries — Ibishi is built to support you.

Brilliant

I have been using this club management system for many years. It is intuitive and simple to use. It makes running the club so much easier and that gives me more time to teach. I simply could not run my club without it. Any issues or suggestions are acting on quickly. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Outstanding school management programme with amazing support

I’ve been using the amazing school management programme for 25 years, and it has never let me down. The system has adapted brilliantly to meet the changing needs of my school, and Derren has always been approachable, supportive, and open to new ideas. I cannot praise this product highly enough – it has freed up so much of my time and made running the school far easier.
