What Does The Average Martial Arts Student Want?
December 8th, 2014 at 1:54 pm CDTFriend, I spent all day Saturday in a defensive knife workshop. Now, it just so happens that this class was taught in a non-martial-arts-studio environment. In fact, it was hosted by a local firearms instructor that I sometimes train with, at his pri ...

December 5th, 2014 at 4:54 pm CDTFriend, Question for you... Is marketing your dojo supposed to be a some-of-the-time thing, or an all-the-time thing? Most martial art school owners seem to turn up their marketing activity during the so-called “busy” times of the year (during fa ...
Be Careful What You Post On YouTube...
December 4th, 2014 at 5:25 pm CDTFriend, So there's this video making the rounds on social media... In it, an instructor and his students are demonstrating some very questionable (and cheesy-looking) firearms techniques with airsoft pistols. And yes, there's a sort of ninja theme g ...

December 3rd, 2014 at 3:22 pm CDTFriend, Are you taking it easy this month? If so, you're probably not alone. I'd say the majority of school owners slow down during the winter holiday season. However, it's important that you avoid being off your game right now. You see, it's common ...

November 29th, 2014 at 8:07 am CDTFriend, Okay, so I lied. As it turns out, you can eat too much on Thanksgiving Day. I did, and I paid for it. And, I'm going to pay for it some more today in my workout. Anyway, I didn't write to tell you about what a glutton I was over the holiday. ...
