Create a club

A club in Kimono is a physical location or a training group inside your organization. You can have one or many (a chain of clubs).

This guide walks you through the form, screen by screen.

Why a club?

The club carries:

  • Its own address and contact info.
  • A max capacity.
  • The disciplines practiced on site.
  • Its opening hours (used for notifications).
  • The trial-class settings (slots open to the public).
  • Optionally, its own invoice numbering.

Where to find the form

Admin panel → Clubs → Create.


Step 1 — General information

Identify the club: name, logo, contact, manager.

General information: name, logo, manager, contact

The club name is visible to members. The URL identifier is used in the public trial-class link (leave it empty and Kimono generates one).

Field Used for
Logo Appears on the public club page and confirmation emails
Club name Shown to members and prospects (e.g. Sakura Dojo Paris 15th)
URL identifier Slug in /trial/your-org/this-slug. Empty = auto-generated
Manager Main team member in charge (optional)
Active Untick to hide the club from selectors without deleting
Email / Phone / Website Contact info shown on the public page
Description Free pitch (equipment, vibe)

Step 2 — Location, hours, capacity

Full address and practical settings for members and prospects.

Location: address, capacity, hours, arrival instructions

The arrival instructions are automatically included in the confirmation email sent after a trial-class signup. Don't skip them!

Field Used for
Address / City / ZIP / Country Full address, printed on invoices and linked to Google Maps
Disciplines Which martial arts are taught here
Capacity Max simultaneous practitioners. Drives an overbook alert
Opening / Closing time Club hours (informational, not a hard block)
Arrival instructions Free text ("ring the intercom"...). Sent to prospects
Season start month Per-club override (otherwise the org-wide value applies)

Step 3 — Extra addresses (optional)

The Addresses block: add other locations tied to the club (annex, secondary practice room). Each address can be used as a meeting point.


Step 4 — Create the club

Create button at the top right. The club shows up in your list and becomes selectable in plans, events, trial slots.

Multi-club tips

If you run several halls within the same legal entity:

  • One organization + one club per location.
  • Members are tied to the organization, they can train at any club.
  • Each club has its own address, schedule, capacity.
  • Bookkeeping is consolidated or separated depending on your invoice numbering setup.
