Arizona has a 2.5% flat income tax. Flat 2.5% income tax (lowest in nation for flat-tax states). Transaction Privilege Tax (sales tax equivalent) varies by city. Phoenix TPT is 8.6%.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $636/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it invoice management, a app for jobs, or a invoicing system — most jiu jitsu instructors in Chandler cobble together Acuity Scheduling, Vagaro, Square, Calendly and other monthly services. That's $636/year in monthly software fees. Over the next 5 years at today's prices, the total damage is $3,180.
Nexa lets you own your tools. Your CRM, invoice management, calendar tool, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — combined into one app. One move books a client. One move generates an invoice. No switching tabs. No third-party glue. No per-connection charges. It's a buy once — eliminate recurring fees the moment you switch. For jiu jitsu instructors in Chandler weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
I sweep and mop the mats before anyone arrives, because in jiu-jitsu hygiene isn't optional — staph or ringworm spreads on the tatami and word travels. Morning no-gi class is smaller, more advanced, so I teach a leg-lock entry and let them flow-roll. I'm watching technique, correcting a guard retention detail, and keeping a mental tally of who's been showing up, because promotions in this art come from mat time, not a test, and people watch their stripes closely. Midday I run a fundamentals class — lots of white belts who just started, and I'm careful not to throw them into live rolling against a blue belt before they know how to tap and stay safe. I drill the same hip escape twenty times because reps are the whole game. After class a three-week white belt looks discouraged; I know the first few months wash most beginners out, and a word from me might keep him. Afternoon I update my attendance notes and think about who's earned a stripe — it's all on a clipboard and in my head, and I hate that someone's promotion depends on my memory. Evening gi class is the big one, the full academy, gis everywhere, hard rolls at the end. I disinfect the mats again after, check who paid their monthly dues versus who's lapsed, and remember I owe two new students a follow-up before they drift away like white belts do.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a jiu jitsu instructor's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a jiu jitsu instructor — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
