WhatsApp message templates for martial arts schools
Martial arts schools need six templates: four utility and two marketing. Utility covers enrolment, grading dates, fee reminders and class schedules; marketing covers trial lessons and gear or uniform offers.
Progress depends on showing up consistently, and belts are earned by attendance. WhatsApp makes grading dates, fees and schedule changes hard to miss for students and parents alike.

- Every template is submitted under one category, and Meta assigns the final one in review. A utility template that reads like a promotion can be reclassified as marketing, which changes both the rate and the opt-in requirement.
- Since 1 October 2026, service messages are charged per delivered message after the first 1,000 free service messages per business phone number per month. The allowance does not roll over and there are no volume tiers.
- Inbound messages are free, and a customer-initiated message opens the 24-hour customer service window. Anything you start outside that window needs an approved template.
