Synopsis

Aimed at those both entering the business and attempting to boost existing ones, this handbook reveals the ins and outs of establishing a thriving martial arts enterprise. Using tools including a 100-question survey, which helps prospects determine if they have the right qualities to own a school, this manual identifies obstacles faced by all owners and what it takes to surmount them. In a candid, often humorous tone, the book reveals specific strategies for issues including setting tuition, designing curricula, choosing a location, and others critical to the growth of a martial arts school. From its time-tested advice on positioning a school for success, negotiation tips to improve renewals and retention, and increasing the quantity and quality of black belts, this guide outlines an accessible, step-by-step plan for building a profitable establishment.
