Overview

Connecting karate training with everyday life.

GKR Karate International needed to bring its teaching beyond the physical dojo. Students needed a clear way to discover classes, follow a programme and access the right training for their membership, wherever they were.

We brought the acquisition journey and member experience together, from the introductory Self-Defence Challenge to an advanced video library of 500+ classes and multiple membership tiers with currency switching.

Online dojo: World-class karate instruction students can access anywhere, anytime.

Advanced library: 500+ on-demand classes, searchable and filterable in a single click.

Lead-gen funnel: A 5-day Self-Defence Challenge that converts prospects into members.

Built to scale: Multiple membership tiers with currency switching and upgrade flows.

“GKR Karate has worked with Motivation Digital for many years now. We were looking for a trusted partner to help us scope and build an online platform for students to train in martial arts anywhere anytime. Motivation Digital brought the right combination of understanding what we needed, and offering expert advice on how to improve our project, and we are very happy with what resulted.”
