Martial Arts Professional Magazine

Master Oliver,

Thank you for the many insights you and your staff were able to provide about where the martial arts industry is and where it is headed in the future. You’ve assembled an awesome team whose experience in both the martial arts and in business is invaluable to martial arts instructors such as myself.  Of the many ideas presented the weekend of March 28th, the following are important to me:

1.       The quality and content of the information presented was almost overwhelming. The key to success is to pick a few things and take immediate action to implement them.

2.       Meeting with other martial arts school owners and instructors who are facing the same challenges I am was very enlightening.  All of us have our particular strengths and weaknesses. By sharing we validate those things we are accomplishing well and are able to offset our weakness through others’ strengths.

3.       Your staff, guest speakers, and business associates are all very knowledgeable and open to sharing to contribute to the success of others. It was refreshing to be around people of such high caliber who are willing to help and who are so friendly and down-to-earth.

4.       The key to everything is systems. Those systems need to be deliberate and focused and need to contribute toward moving forward.

Again, thank you for a great weekend. We are all martial arts professionals and we need to remember what a tremendous service we provide to the community. This weekend was a great reminder of why we do what we do and what a tremendous impact we have on people’s lives.  That’s a responsibility all of us should take very seriously.

Respectfully,
