The Druid Story: Why We're Keeping It Free and What Lies Ahead

The Genesis of Druid - from frustration to innovation

Once upon a time in a martial arts gym not so far away, there was a passionate martial arts enthusiast named Alex. He stepped onto the mats, eager to embrace the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The gym was vibrant, but there was a nagging problem.

The first time Alex entered the gym, the head coach, Fabricio, had to abandon his class to go through the pile of papers to find a liability waiver. While Fabricio waited for Alex to sign, the class was without guidance. It took Fabricio 10 minutes to get back to his advanced students.

Fabricio welcomed Alex with open arms and allowed him to train for free. The experience was exhilarating, and Alex couldn't wait to come back for his beginner BJJ classes.

However, on his return, Fabricio was nowhere to be found. Only the junior instructor, Todd, was present. Alex expressed his desire to become a paid member, but Todd explained that only Fabricio had the authority to sign him up. Oddly enough, there was an iPad at the front desk that seemed perfectly capable of handling sign-ups.

Although Fabricio was a great coach, his school was losing money.

Empowering martial arts enthusiasts

This experience left Alex pondering the need for a solution that would streamline operations for martial arts schools and empower enthusiasts like himself. He envisioned an app that could eliminate the paperwork hassle, enabling coaches to focus on what they did best – teaching martial arts.

With determination, Alex embarked on a journey to create Druid, a revolutionary martial arts membership software. His mission was clear: to provide a powerful, user-friendly tool for martial arts coaches, so they could deliver the best training experience possible.
