Creating a 6-Figure Pre Martial Arts Program
Many club owners shy away from teaching younger children, when in fact it is one of the easiest, most fun and profitable program there is.
Their current school has around 300 'pre' martial arts students.
That's more than three hundred thousand dollars a year in revenue!
Part 1: Business Foundation:
Learn the marketing, session plans and class structure needed to implement a successful 3-6 year old 'pre' martial arts program.
Part 2: Practical Application (Workshop):
Covers class management, drills and games to make the classes fun and easy to teach. This is a great workshop for your staff, too!

Unlock The Secret Marketing Advantage
How to turn your voice into a new member magnet
Most martial arts and dance school owners rely on ads and social media to attract new students.
But the fastest way to build trust with parents isn’t online — it’s standing on stage and speaking with authority.
When you command a room and clearly explain the real benefits of training — confidence, discipline, focus and resilience — people stop seeing your school as just another activity and start seeing you as a trusted expert.
In this session, you’ll discover how powerful speaking positions you as the expert in your community, attracts multiple new members at once, and magnifies the results of every piece of marketing you run.
