Frequently asked questions

Sparmate is a mobile app that matches martial artists with sparring partners of their level and in their area, at partner gyms. Sparring takes place under the gym's supervision.

The app is being prepared for Google Play and the App Store. The store links will be on the home page once the app is released.

Signing up, creating a profile, browsing candidates and reviewing the requests you receive are free. Sending a sparring request or making a proposal needs points, which come with a monthly subscription.

Points (Spar-Points) are the unit Sparmate uses for sparring. The point cost of a sparring session is shown in the app before you confirm. If a request is declined, unanswered or withdrawn, the reserved points come back for free.

Sparmate is for adults only. Matches are made within the same gender. Anyone who trains in martial arts, from beginner to professional, can sign up.

You filter the candidates and send a request to a fighter. The fighter who received it proposes a gym and a time at an approved gym, and you accept. You both confirm the waiver and the gym approves the time. Then you both get a QR code, which the gym scans on the day.

Cancelling before the set deadline is free. If someone cancels late or does not show up, their points go to the gym, the other fighter is refunded and they get a warning on their account. The consequences are shown clearly in the app before you confirm.

First you sign up, then you apply as a gym representative in the app. The Sparmate team reviews the application; once it is approved, your gym is open for sparring.

We start with boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, MMA, Wing Tsun, Kung Fu and karate. The list can grow.

Your email address and phone number are never shown to anyone, and distance is only approximate. There is no messaging in Sparmate; coordination only happens through the day, time and gym you pick. Details will be in the privacy policy.

Sparmate is available in Turkish, English and German.
