Works on

Built for academies with more than one discipline. Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, Capoeira, MMA - and more martial arts on the way. All running in parallel, all configurable by the admin.
Who's behind it

I'm Daniel, and I train at BPT Odivelas. I don't own a gym, I'm a student. But I watched my coaches lose hours to spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups when they should have been on the mat teaching. And there was no software that actually understood martial arts: belts and gradings with the criteria each system uses (IBJJF, Muay Thai, Capoeira), instructor payouts down to the cent, several disciplines running side by side. So I built Orira. It started as a way to help the gym where I train. Today any gym can use it. The goal is simple: get the admin work out of the way so there is more time for what matters, the mat.
Why Orira
Not just a pretty app. The platform that helps your academy grow.
Automatic payments, attendance, multi-discipline belt rankings, teacher commissions. The basics done well - no Excel, no WhatsApp scattered everywhere.
NFC check-in, in-house shop, competitions calendar, analytics. The tools that separate a professional academy from an amateur club.
Achievements, customizable AI chatbot, announcements, multi-locale (4 languages). Students feel part of the academy, not just customers.
Who uses it
Before Orira it was Excel, WhatsApp and scattered sheets. I'd lose an afternoon a month closing the books. Repasses to instructors never matched on the first try. Now payments, attendance and repasses are all in one place. I see the state of the gym in 30 seconds.


The competition calendar lives in the app and students sign up in one tap. I take the team to competitions without chasing anyone.


When I brought in Orira, I digitised the whole academy. Students started checking in with NFC and seeing their belts on their phones, and I put the mat live on a TV that changed the energy of the classes. We swapped another app that didn't have such good features for something that feels built by people who train, and the students notice.


Shop and monthly fees are in the same place now. One click logs the sale and I know straight away what's left in stock.


What I use most is marking attendance on the tatame and checking my students' payment status before class. Graduações are all logged, with criteria per faixa. Before this it was 'send me a screenshot' on WhatsApp.


I have two kids training at BPT. I pay the monthly fee for all three from one account. Me, plus my two kids as dependents. I see their attendance, graduações, payments, all without three separate logins. Other software made you do that.

Waitlist
We onboarded a small group of gyms on purpose, so each one starts well - migration, setup and training done by the Orira team. We reopen once they're settled. Join the waitlist: when the next spot opens, we talk to you first, with priority and early-access terms.
Excel migration, initial setup and training for your team - done by the Orira team.
Joining early gives you a direct say in what we build next.
Not a beta. BPT Odivelas has been running on Orira for 18 months, with 200+ students daily.
Switching over
Send us your spreadsheet (or an export from your old software) and we handle the migration with you: students, fees and gradings into Orira, usually within 48h and free during your trial.
Pricing
You start on your own and try it free for 30 days, no card. Having your own domain and the whole brand yours, without the Orira name, is a separate service.
Waitlist open
This round is full, but the next one will open. Join the waitlist and when it does, we talk to you first - with priority and early-access terms.
