For better or worse, my parents didn't send me to Dagestan for 2-3 years and forget about me. So it wasn't until I was an adult that I got into combat sports.
I started training at Cima Jiu Jitsu, an affiliate of Mathias Ribeiro, in 2021 and naturally, while talking with my instructor, I realized we could improve how people signed up for class, and he could have better control of his students.
So I decided to create MatGoat, a tool that simplifies the management of a Brazilian jiu-jitsu academy and helps your students attend class more and feel more integrated into the academy.
I'm in love with this sport, and Miriam and I have put all our effort into creating the best tool so you can focus more on your students as an instructor than on a spreadsheet. We truly hope we can help you.
We're not a big company, but we dedicate ourselves body and soul to creating the best platform to help you with your academy.
