History of Tinagan School of Martial Arts

The youth have always been highly regarded as the hope

of the world. Their new creative way of seeing and acting

can change the society and actually shape the future of the

humanity. Their ability to dream dares the tired way of

living and challenging it to evolve into what can be better

if not exist.

Since 1982, the Tinagan Martial Arts Club, founded by

Shihan Arnold S. Tinagan, and fully recognized as non-stock

non-profit organization by the Security and Exchange

Commission (SEC) that was in 1996 in the name of Iloilo

Tinagan Martial Arts Club Inc. under the management of

General Manager (GM) Girlie D. Tinagan and the

President/Chief Instructor Sensei Gerald D. Tinagan. In 2006

it was changed to Iloilo Tinagan School of Martial Arts Inc.

(ITSMAI) that never stopped empowering the well-being of the

youth through conducting martial arts sessions. However,

competing with technology and winning against it doesn’t

come on handy. It needs Persistence, Loyalty and above all a

Member Management System

According to Lopez (2005), a registration system helps

and provides efficient and reliable services to the

students, enrollment personnel and administration. Moreover,

this system improved the process of enrollment in terms of

searching, retrieving and subject schedules.

Lopez (2005)

According to Carlson (2011), You should utilize

registration not merely for business and business reasons,

but will also organizing class or training course,

workshops, professional classes on the web, etc. while using

the benefits associated with keeper registration is

anticipated that can assist you get rid of worries of manual

process. For anyone who is still using paper registration

forms for the campers, it would be time hard to take into

consideration camping registration forms to further improve

efficiencies, improve organization, and alleviate manual,

paper-based processes.

Carlson (2011)
Membership software (also known as an association management

system) is a computer software which provides associations,

clubs and other membership organizations with the

functionality they require to provide their services to

their members.

It normally includes at least the following:

 Storing and editing member information in a database.

 Creating, renewing, upgrading and downgrading

memberships.

 Communicating with members by email, social media,

telephone or post.

Membership organizations have diverse needs and structures,

and this is reflected in the additional features membership

software sometimes includes:

 Providing advertising opportunities via listings or

targeted placements.

 Facilitating interaction between members.

 Tracking members' interests and activity to provide

relevant services.

Like many other modern software, membership software

was initially delivered as desktop software, evolved into

website-based software delivered from a web server, and is

now increasingly delivered as a software as a service.

In the initial (desktop software) and intermediate

(website based software) stages of its development,

Membership software was often combined with a separate

public-facing website, which members would use to interact

with the association (subscribing, booking events,

purchasing content and advertising, posting discussions,

uploading files). This necessitated complex integrations

between proprietary membership software databases and

content management systems. Today, membership software often

integrates the core features of a content management system,

to provide a single coherent interface for members and

administrators. These are available as standalone or as

plugins to popular open source content management systems.

The smallest associations and clubs often create their

own ecosystem of services to offer some of the same

functionality as membership software. They do this by using

generic database or spreadsheet software, and adding on

external options as they need them (e.g. event registration,

online payments, or email newsletters).

The membership software market spans the rest of the

industry, from small and medium-sized organizations with

limited resources, to very large and complex multi-chapter

organizations of national and international renown, to

association management organizations which manage multiple

associations using a single product. There are many products

available from a wide variety of different commercial

providers and open source projects. Most are generic, but

many are also targeted at very particular segments (e.g.,

church software).

Multi-chapter membership software tailors to

organizations that are made up of chapters, clubs, regions,

or segments that are part of the larger association. This

particular type of membership software allows the apex or

parent level of the organization to have more control over

how each of their chapters are managed. Included in this

might be a shared database, template websites, shared event

calendar and more.

Membership software covers a massive range of uses, but

in many instances it requires different membership levels,

or access control levels. Depending on the software, it can

even allow you to specify time limited access which is

useful for time sensitive content. The access levels can be

structured in a pyramidal form, where each access levels has

access to the previous levels, or it can be vertical, where

each access level has a standalone section they can access.
