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).

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

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.

The Secret to Retaining Students

Dear School Owners & Instructors,

Have you ever had a Black Belt quit and open a school down the street? What is the highest ranking Black Belt in your school? Would you like to retain the Black Belts that you promote? How is your retention of adult students? Would you like to keep the adults you enroll?


Is your system lacking in good material to teach your Black Belts and keep them coming to class? What are you teaching them; a few new Kata, some variations on your standard self defense techniques? Are you hoping their "loyalty" will keep them training with you?

Is it hard to keep Red and Brown Belt students motivated?

Is there a solution? The good new is YES! The answer to the problem of retaining advanced and black belt student is the art of Kyusho Jitsu. What is Kyusho? Kyusho is a non-intrusive art, that once the instructor knows it, can be integrated into any system or art without compromising tradition or the art itself!

I have been involved training and teaching the martial arts for 25 years. I spent 16 years with my first instructor and attained the rank of 4th Dan Black Belt while with him. Why did I stay so long? I was running a branch school for him, having a great time teaching, but after 1st Dan, except for learning a few new Kata, there was nothing! I started my search for something new to learn, without having to start all over again learning a completely different art.

In 2000 I opened my own school and started looking in earnest for things to teach my high ranking students. My instructor retired and a few of the high ranks that were with him followed me to my new school. But, what would I teach them?

In 2002 I found the answer, the pressure point study of Kyusho Jitsu. It has changed everything! Now students can’t wait till they reach Black Belt so they can study and learn more about pressure points; It has created new understanding of my root art, created new income streams for the school, and kept my Black Belts as PAYING students. In fact about 25% of my active student count is BLACK BELTS!

What do other martial artists think of Kyusho? Here are some testimonials from martial artists who have studied this technical art.

"I am 47 years old and have been studying various martial arts for the nearly 10 years, Kyusho Jitsu appeals, not only to my desire to learn something new and different, but more importantly and unlike mos arts like Tae Kwon Do, it appeals to a real need to know techniques that do not require me to go ;toe-to-toe" with a potential assailant. I am at an age where I would need to deal with any potential violent confrontation, with techniques that do not require me to be an Olympic athlete to succeed and walk away unscathed, Kyusho Jitsu techniques should allow me the best opportunity to survive just such situations regardless of the age and size of an assailant."

Don M. Black Belt

"Learning about Kyusho has not only improved my skills and understanding of the martial arts that I study, but it has taught me a great deal about the human body. Having only studying for about 1 year, it amazes me how little I know about the human body. Studying Kyusho teaches you to use the body's strength to heal, and takes its weaknesses and inflict pain or cause damage to help you defend yourself. I strongly recommend as a martial artist to apply the study of Kyusho to your training. Whether your a novice or Black Belt Master you will walk away with a better understanding of your martial art, and yourself as well. I look forward to continuing my education this mind opening art."

Michelle Poupard – Black Belt

What advantages are there for you in learning more about Kyusho?

* It will make your techniques work every time!
* Your smaller students will be able to make techniques work on large opponents
* Older students will feel younger because Kyusho is a science applied to your art, without stress.
* As you study it will help keep you light years ahead of your students.
* Teaches you how to really use your Kata!
* Find the ‘Hidden Secrets’ inside your Kata.

Now as a school owner and instructor much of my curriculum is setup for easy retention of new students. But compared to the ‘old days’ we are often teaching so much information in the first few years that there is nothing left for the advanced students. Lets face it, we need Black Belts in our system to continue our teaching, build a larger and stronger and more profitable school!

So what exactly are the reasons that students quit?

* There get BORED!
* Financial problems
* Move away
* Injury

We all know the truth, the number one reason is boredom; and that is the only one we can fix! The study of Kyusho, when applied to your root are, whatever it may be (TKD, Kempo, Goju etc.) it will provide you with an endless stream of materials to teach, enjoy and discover yourself, then teach it to your students.

So what exactly are you going to learn? What does the study of Kyusho give you?

* The proper methods of attacking a pressure point (nerve) to get maximum results every time, without needing a lot of power.
* How to make joint locks and throws effective regardless of the size of the attacker.
* Disable an attacker with minimum effort Learn ‘Humane Pressure Point Tactics’ to deal with a low level assault without doing excessive damage. (Great to teach police!)
* Get a deeper appreciation and understanding of your Kata.
* How to co ordinate the areas of attack for maximum effect.
* End an altercation in seconds without using excessive force!
* Much, much more….

There is an events calendar which will list Kyusho Workshops in different areas of the world.

Okay, so here’s the deal. Three times a year a small group of the top marketers in the world gather together for a ‘closed-door,’ exclusive meeting either in Baltimore, Maryland or Cleveland, Ohio.

Some fly in from as far away as Australia, Spain, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. They travel all this distance to spend 2 days to sit at the table with two of the top “Marketing Minds” in the world…Dan Kennedy or Bill Glazer as part of a “Mastermind” group/Think Tank.

After one of these recent meetings conducted by Marketing Guru Bill Glazer (President of Glazer-Kennedy Insider’s Circle™), fourteen of the ultra- successful Members of his Info-MASTERMIND Group stayed and had a frank and candid discussion about the behaviors they exhibit which has lead to them achieving success beyond their wildest dreams.

$613.31 of Pure Money-Making Inf

I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you
something very, very important...

...Thank YOU!

Yep, I mean it...without people like you
we'd be positively, 100% out of business. I was
thinking of some special way to show how much
we appreciate you. Of course a card would do it
-- but that'll probably just get thrown out in a
couple days.

So here's what I came up with...

It's a THANK YOU GIFT that will significantly
increase your profits and bottom line.

I made arrangements with the #1 Marketing Expert in the world, Dan Kennedy, to give you THE MOST INCREDIBLE ' FREE' GIFT EVER which includes 2- FREE Months of Dan's 'ELITE' Gold Membership (Including The World's Best Marketing Newsletter on The Planet...The 'No B.S. Marketing Letter').

Now...you've just got to find out about everything that's included in with this $613.31 gift by clicking onto the link below:

Incredible Free Gift Offer

If you haven't heard of Dan Kennedy let me give you the
quick run-down. As a marketing consultant he has worked hands-on with clients in 136 different product, service, and business categories.

In the information-publishing field, he has literally
guided hundreds of startups to multi-million dollar
annual sales. (In fact, studying Dan's material has been largely responsible for my success.)

He routinely commands fees of $19,000.00 per
day for private consulting, $45,000.00 to as much as
$75,000.00 plus royalties to write an ad campaign, series
of sales letters or other marketing materials, with over
80% of all clients who utilize his services once opting to
do so repeatedly. Many of these client relationships are
now 5, 7, 10, even 15 years in duration.

So don't take this deal lightly...Greg Renker, CEO of the Guthy-Renker Corporation, famous for its TV infomercials featuring Tony Robbins, Victoria Principal and other celebrities, says: "I anxiously wait for the No B.S.
Marketing Letter. Each Issue is packed with new information and terrific insights that are invaluable to our business."

Frankly the No BS Marketing Letter alone is like a day-long, intense seminar in print arriving every month in your mailbox.

I promise once you start reading this newsletter you'll be hooked. Simply put, that's the whole reason he'll let me make this sensational offer.

But, there is one catch. Dan will not keep this deal open forever. After he's reached his limit - this deal is history. So, please don't delay. I strongly urge you to check out your special thank you gift below:

Incredible Free Gift Offer

Sincerely,

Art Mason

PS: One FREE look is worth a thousand words of
advertising. Dan's "NO B.S. Marketing Letter" truly speaks
for itself - powerfully. But you be the judge and see if
I'm right! Like I said don't take this FREE gift lightly.
Just head over here to see what you're getting.

PPS: I suppose I should point out....just ONE really good idea, strategy, improvement, or kick in the butt you get from all of this can easily provide a HUGE amount of added income in your business.

Tracking your Business

One of the greatest challenges that faces any business is tracking statistics. In my business I send out flyers, place ads in newspapers and elsewhere. The purpose is to drive people to either pickup the phone and call me, or drive them to my website for more information.

When someone calls on the phone it is easy to find out were they came from. Going to a website is much more challenging!

Now you could have different domains and websites setup to help this tracking problem. This however is expensive and time consuming. I have an easy and cost effective solution! It is call Trackbiz. This is an amazing script/program which installs on your server and allows you to track hits and sales from as many sources as you like! Either you or your webmaster can set it up. It will even email you your stats!

Increasing Web Traffic

Increasing Website Traffic is a difficult job. I can be done however at a low cost. Going the low cost route does require some work. If you search martial arts lessons Windsor On you will see my site pop up all over the place. The same if you change the city to Belle River, or the term to karate. I will list several place in the top 10. I have done this without the expense of adwords or pay per click accounts.

Being that a martial arts school is a very specific niche market, this does make this a little easier to do. But I have also been success at driving traffic here, to my Martial Arts Marketing Website as well as several other blog sites.

Content is one of the most important things that search engines look for, then links to more content. The more the better. This also need be keyword rich. Sound complicated? Well let me offer you a few suggestions at getting started.

1) Search Engine Cloaker : This amazing little script will help get your website indexed by google, yahoo, msn to name a few. Check it out.
2) A series of Videos to teach you some tips and tricks on getting the job done.

Take a look and let me know what you think!

Auto Responders

Now suppose you have an awesome website for your potential customers to visit. What next? This is were many entrepreneurs make their mistakes. You need to get at least a name and email address from your prospect!

Remember they came to your website because they have an interest or need in what you do. Now, if they like what they see you need a contact point. The answer to this is an 'autoresponder'. What is an auto-responder, well you are subscribed to one right here. There is your proof that it will work.

There are several methods for setting up an Auto-Responder system. One you can pay a company like Aweber to handle the job for you. You setup the groups you want, what information you want and they handle the databases for you. If you plan on having multiple opt-in mail lists like I do that is likely the best solution. There is also software available you can install on most servers and do the job yourself much cheaper. I am currently evaluating some products now which I will recommend at a later time.

After you setup is finish, write your email messages like this one and you are all set. Well I am going to leave it at this for the moment. If you have any questions on this topic feel free to email me.

The True Secret Of A Successful Entrepreneur By Patric Chan

Being an entrepreneur and running your own business might
seem ideal... getting out of the so-called, "rat race" of
job employment. If you're already doing that, congrats but
read this article first.

The absolute best way to make money as an entrepreneur is
to start out by doing the things you enjoy and outsource
the things that are necessary but you don't like to do.

Although some people will tell you to chase the money and
forget about what you like. After all, business is
business, right?

That depends on you.

If your number one motivation is money-- if the sun rises
and sets on money in your land... and if the sight of a
dollar bills sends you into shivers of ecstasy-- then yes,
perhaps for you business is business. If money is your
passion, if "buying stuff" is what drives everything you
do, then in that case it really doesn't matter what you
do... because as long as you're making money, you'll be
happy.

Do you identify with that personality?

Can you be happy doing anything as long as you're making
boatloads of cash?

If not, then read on...

Most people like money, yes. I like money too. I believe
it's the same for you as well. Come on, it's a fact and
nothing to be ashamed of. But if I really examine why I do
what I do today for business, I may find that money isn't
the main motivator. "Buying stuff" may not be the main
motivator either. Sounds cheesy and corny but I won't spend
the time here to convince you that it's the truth.

If you're the type of person who thrives on good feelings
when you help people, even if money isn't involved, if you
are really passionate about something (cars, quilts,
relationship, whatever), if a kind word from a customer
would really make your day-- then you may be an
entrepreneur today NOT for the purpose of making the green
bags. That's good news because you'll love what you're
doing.

Yes, I know you're getting into business at least partly if
not mainly to make money – after all, money buys
freedom... the freedom to buy what you want, the freedom to
make your own schedule, etc.

However, you don't need to chase the money in order to make
loads of money.

What do I mean by that?

Here's something for you to chew on... not everyone who
"chases the money" is rich. I bet you've seem them all. And
amazingly, not everyone who chose a path related to their
passions is poor.

You see, choosing to chase the money is no guarantee that
you will make money. In fact, there are no guarantees at
all... So why not do something that you actually enjoy?

Exactly.

Now you may be thinking that if it makes money for you-- if
you see results, you don't care if you enjoy it or not.
Sure, if you're one of those people I described before
(where money is your main motivator), then this will work
for you.

But I bet you've dropped things in your life before even
though they were creating the results you wanted.

For example, have you ever taken up an exercise or diet
plan that you didn't like?

Perhaps you took up running in the morning. But you hate
running. And you're a night owl.

But dang it, you made a promise to yourself that you were
going to lose weight and get in shape. So every morning you
get up and jog. A few weeks pass and you step on the scale.
Yep, you're losing weight. A few more weeks pass and your
clothes are fitting better, you don't gasp for air when you
run up a flight of stairs, and you feel and look better
than you've ever felt.

In short--- you are getting AMAZING results. You are
getting exactly what you wanted for your health and body.

And then it starts...

One morning the alarm goes off at zero-dark-thirty and you
hit snooze. Your bed is so warm and cozy that the thought
of getting up to go jogging makes you feel a little queasy.
"No problem, I'll just skip a day," you say to yourself as
you settle back in for another hour of sleep.

The next morning you rationalize it again. And the next
morning... and so.

Pretty soon you're jogging just once or twice a week. Then
once or twice a month. Next thing you know, you jogging in
the morning is just a fuzzy memory of something you used to
do.

If you hate jogging and you hate mornings... what made you
think that you could ever keep with a commitment to jog in
the morning?

Even the benefits of losing weight and getting in shape
aren't enough of a reward to overcome the hatred of
jogging.

Do you see what I mean?

There are many things in our lives that we drop even though
we're getting results we wanted!

So here is what I'm proposing to you-- start off doing
something you enjoy.

Now I'm not saying that you shouldn't do market research,
or that you should purposely pick something where you can't
even think of a way to make ten bucks but you like it. No,
not at all. That's foolish. You're doing a business and a
healthy business needs to make profit.

What I'm saying is that you should start entrepreneurship
with your passions, your interests, and things that bring
you enjoyment.

From that starting point, find a way to make it profitable!
Don't bow down and drop your passions just because there
are other markets out there that are known to be more
lucrative. All you need is a little creativity to be a
successful entrepreneur.

There are people that have taken interests like
housecleaning, cooking, vacuuming and the like, and turned
those passions into multi-million dollar ventures.

If these people can turn these sorts of interests into
full-time professions, why can't you?

I'd much rather do what I like and let the money follow,
then do what I hate and hope I can eventually catch the
money.

The bottom line-- don't sacrifice your love for money.
Unless your true love IS money it just won't work. Real
entrepreneurs do what they do for more than making money
“ They have a purpose. Some call it, a 'calling'.

You "Chan" Do It!

Jay Abraham

Dear Friends,

By now I am sure you have all heard of Jay Abraham. I have over the years spent a ton of money purchasing some of his works. He is an amazing marketer and teacher. It is very difficult to find any of Jay's information at book stores any longer. He stopped doing things for Nightingale a long time ago.

Often the things available at his website are very expense (he is worth it!) but for first time buyers a little price intimidating. I have looked for his stuff on eBay before too, but it is very hard to find or win a bid on as it is in such demand.

Anyways, today I found a link to something from Jay, at an amazing price! I don't know how long this will last so check the pages linked here out ASAP. I don't expect this to last long!

More on Websites

Dear Friends,

Your work hard and build your website. It looks great! Whether is it for a martial arts school like mine is or any other business you need to get visitors. Without traffic, you have nothing. You could pay a company to build traffic for you, it works, but it costs BIG BUCKS to do!

Or, you can build traffic yourself. As I mentioned last time your website must be rich with keywords and phrase that the search engine spiders are going to find. You need links to other pages with similar and relevant content, but more importantly you need others to link to you!

How do you do this? One place to start is to write Internet Press Releases. This can usually be done at no cost and is very effect. ARRIVENET is a good example of a free press release service. Check out the articles found here and add your own. Press Release rank high on search engine. Make your press release keyword rich and don't forget to link to your website.

Now to see how well I have done with my school website search the following at Google and Yahoo. karate lessons or martial arts lessons, windsor or belle river ontario.

Notice the direct links and the press release links.

Here is a highly recommended resource also! CHECK IT OUT HERE.

More to come,

Yours for build a successful business,

Setting up a Website

Dear Friends,

One, if not the greatest error that most people will make when setting up their company website, whether it be a martial arts school or any other business is that they leave it in the hands of a graphic or web design person.

The purpose of your website it to drive sales, not get awards from design groups. Look around at other websites and see what is out there.

Your site needs to load FAST, so keep graphics use low. All links need to be organized and easy to find within the text of the site. Any you need to have lots of TEXT. Tell your story, talk about your product or service and use the keywords that are relevant to what you are selling! Rich keyword text that is on topic is what the search engines are looking for.

More info to follow.
