Kihon Done For You · done by hand, run from Kihon

When a parent looks you up, you look like the obvious choice.

Most families find a school the same way. They search "karate near me", read your reviews, open your website, and decide in about a minute whether to book a trial. Kihon Done For You gets each of those steps right and runs them from Kihon, so a trial request lands in your Leads the moment a parent sends it.

Who does the work

Renshi Julius, Kihon's founder, does the work himself. He coaches high performers, and he is one. Born into his family's dojo, he started training at age seven and went on to win numerous national and international tournaments and championships. He fought the world championship of Japanese full-contact, bare-knuckle knockdown karate five times, bringing home a silver and two bronze medals. Since then he has coached private clients and whole teams to wins at international tournaments.

The same work ethic carried into running schools. He managed the European headquarters of an international karate organization, then became COO of a six-location martial arts franchise in the US, and he holds a 6th degree black belt. With Kihon Done For You, your school gets that coaching and that work, which is also why he takes only four Kihon schools a quarter.

What you get

Your website

A new website, built and hosted by Kihon. It runs on your Kihon profile: change a class time, a program or a social link in Kihon, and your website shows it the same minute. Only have a square logo? You get a wide banner version too. Your domain stays yours.

Your member login

A Member login button on your website opens your own portal at members.yourschool.com, with your name and logo from the first screen. Families can add it to their phone, where it shows as your school.

Your listings

Google Business Profile, Yelp, Bing and Facebook, claimed and matching each other. Hours, address, phone, programs and photos, with a description written the way parents search.

Your reviews

Your review pages saved in Kihon, so every family sees "Leave us a review" in their portal, plus a simple habit for asking at the right moments, like a new belt. Every family is asked, never only the happy ones.

Your email

A business address on your own domain, like frontdesk@yourschool.com, set up so it lands in inboxes and not in spam. Families' replies to Kihon's emails come straight to it. You pay the email provider, a few dollars a month per inbox.

Your Apple presence

Your school registered with Apple Business Connect, so Apple Maps shows the right hours and photos, and an application for Apple's Branded Mail, so your logo can appear beside your emails in Apple Mail. Apple decides, and it can take weeks.

Your lead sources

Your website's trial form is built in. On top of it, up to three more sources connected straight into Kihon Leads, like a Facebook or Instagram lead ad, or a sign-up sheet from a school fair.

Your move to Kihon, if you are switching

Every member, household, contract and belt moved into Kihon by hand, from a spreadsheet or your old system's export, plus everything that system lets you take. Contracts signed elsewhere keep their terms, and nobody signs again.

90 days of coaching

A written 90-day plan, a call every two weeks (six in all), and text access to Renshi Julius for questions in between.

What it is not

Not ad management. No ad spend is included, and nobody runs your ads.
Not written reviews. Every review comes from a real family, always.
Not a subscription. One payment. Hosting your website is included for as long as you are on Kihon, and your domain stays registered in your name. If you ever leave, you keep the domain and get a copy of your site.
Not a plan upgrade. Every Kihon feature is on every plan. Kihon Done For You is hands-on, custom work for your school, which is why it is priced on its own.

The guarantee

It depends on two things from you: access to your Google profile, domain and Facebook page in the first week, and, if you are switching, your member list.

Switching to Kihon? Within 30 days of receiving your complete member list, your school is live on Kihon, with every member in and their household, plan and belt. Within 60 days of your first call, every listing is claimed, correct and linked, and your new website is live and sending trial requests into Kihon.

Miss either date, and your next full year of Kihon is free: twelve months of your subscription, credited to your bill, up to $249 a month for founding schools.

The payments fee on what your families pay you still applies. A day we are waiting on something only you can give us does not count.
