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).
