Retaining Adult Students

The biggest challenge for any martial art school owner is retaining students. But today I am going to talk about the retention of adult students. How do you run your school? Are you the person who opens and closes each night? Do you teach every class? Do you still have a full time job other than running a martial art school? Is this the way that you want it to be?

Now I run 3 locations, (one being franchised). It is obvious that this would be almost impossible to do alone. But to do this effectively I need well taught Black Belt adult students! This was not always an easy task!

How do you motive adults to keep training, become Black Belts and want to teach classes? You need an amazing and continuously growing curriculum! Without it you are dead!

The system that I originally started in was a Korean Hapkido/Tae Kwon Do mix like many of you did. At Black Belt there was simply only new patterns to learn. Maybe a few self defense techniques that we had realy already done. So why was I still there? Loyalty! I trained under my first instructor for 16 years. I stayed because we had become good friends, and I believed in loyality.

Do you think that is the best way to keep students? I don't either. You need a great curiculum, one that keeps them coming back night after night, wanting to learn more. The good news is, Kyusho Jitsu is just what you are looking for!

Kyusho Jitsu is a non-intrusive art, that once you begin to learn you can start to add to your existing root art. It will make the techniques you do much more effective, it will teach you how to break down your kata to make it more enjoyable to teach, as well as learn!

Now forget everything you think you know about Kyusho! There is a ton of hype about it on the internet, mostly coming from non martial artists sitting in front of a computer screen all night long. Drop into our website and learn more about this art and making it work for you! Find out about a hosting a one day seminar in your school (and make some money doing it) Register for the site and keep up to date on what is going on and how to grow your school with Kyusho (note I don't sell emails lists, nor do I spam my lists).

Yours in building a strong, prosperous school,

The Elephant in the Room

As you can see from the subject of this email, it’s about the so-called elephant in the room…the economy, and the dreaded ‘R’ word (Recession). Economists are arguing over technicalities. The news media has had us deep in a recession for months. People do seem troubled by gas and grocery prices.

In order to address the elephant in the room and as a special thank you for being one of our valued Online Subscribers I’ve arranged a special, one-time only free gift for you

(well, actually, TWO GIFTS if you want both of them).

Here’s what this is all about:


A month ago Marketing Guru and Millionaire Maker Dan Kennedy released his first of two new books he’s written in his best selling ‘No B.S.” series.

NOW…he’s released his second one which is extremely timely, given what’s on everyone’s mind….the economy.

This book is titled: NO B.S. MARKETING TO THE AFFLUENT (The Ultimate No Holds Barred Kick Butt Take No Prisoners Guide To Getting Really Rich.)

In short, Dan says that “recession” is a big, fat, over-broad, over-simplified generalization. There are plenty of consumers, plenty of investors and plenty of business owners spending plenty of money – and that’s one of the things he wants to talk to YOU about in a ‘no-charge’ Tele-Phone Seminar he’s conducting related to his “newest book.

This FREE Tele-Phone Seminar will be conducted at two different times on Tuesday July 8th where he will be discussing the BIG Lessons learned from his latest publication.


As soon as I heard about it, I contacted his office and arranged to get a limited number of the reserved phone lines to offer to my Online Subscribers.


If you hurry, you can grab one of these limited spots at no cost to you. I URGE YOU TO BE ON THIS CALL.

Here’s the best part: I was also able to arrange for you to get a second free gift from Dan when you register for this call of over $613.91 of his MARKETING & MONEY-MAKING resources.

Just wait until you see what’s waiting for you!!!

To register for the call, choose the best time that works for you, and claim your additional free gift, just click on the link below NOW:

By the way, in case you’re curious, this call contains NO warm ‘n fuzzies, NO academic theories: just hard core strategies from the real word trenches… for successfully re-positioning your business, products, services and self to attract customers or clients for whom “price” is NOT a determining factor in their purchasing decisions.

Here’s some of what Dan will be covering on this “not-to-be-missed” free tele-seminar.

* IMMUNITY TO RECESSION… How to find, attract and sell to “the LEAST and LAST affected”


* SECRETS OF SELLING TO THE AFFLUENT ENTREPRENEUR

* HOW THE MASS-AFFLUENT TRADE UP…. Where the missed opportunities are to increase transaction size

* WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE ANYWAY... are there really that many of them?

So if you haven’t already taken care of this, I urge you grab one of the limited spots and claim your free gift by clicking onto the link below now:

OH…Did I tell you about the Q & A time with Dan Kennedy himself?


People always go absolutely “ga-ga” with the opportunity to be able to get their specific questions answered by Dan Kennedy himself and on this call, Dan is offering an E-X-T-E-N-D-E-D- opportunity to be able to ask him your specific questions.

If you don’t think this is a big deal, just listen to this…Dan currently charges his clients $2,000.00 an hour for his advice.

So, you can see what a rare opportunity this is. Learn from “THE” man and ask your own question to “THE” man.

Now if you haven’t yet registered for the free tele-seminar and claim your additional free gift … do it NOW!

Sincerely,

Art Mason
