Are you a martial artist wanting change?

Hello there, are you a martial artist? Did you know martial arts have been in America for over 70 years? That's right; the first tournament in the United States took place over seventy years ago. Did you know that there are over 500 amateur point martial arts tournament circuits in the United States? This means that at any given time there can be over 500 tournament champions at any one given time in the same weight class. Over 500 champions.. Do we care, do you care? When will we as an industry consider unifying titles, they did it with boxing? Do you care about the martial arts or what has come to be known as sport martial arts in America? Did you know that there are over 50,000 martial arts schools and dojos in America? Since we are compelled to compare our sport to boxing, why didn't we start there? Want change?

Are Martial Arts Franchises Creating a McDojo Atmosphere and Cheapening Martial Arts?

Not this franchise…..One franchise specifically - the Kumite Fightclub's main objective is "making people better for life", what does that truly mean? If one were to go to a dojo or martial arts school what would one truly get from learning martial arts? The majority of schools across America teach a strict martial arts program, mixed martial arts or an element of what has come to be known as sport martial arts. Although the Kumite Fightclub and National Martial Arts League are selling dojo franchises we feel strongly that it is not necessary for a person to know martial arts to own a school. There are over 40,000 schools in the United States with a 40-60% turnover rate. Not all students make it to black belt and not all of those that make it to black belt want to own a school. But of those that do. How many want to open a school and can get the funding needed to open a successful martial arts school? The Kumite Fightclub and National Martial Arts League Franchises dojo strategy for success pairs a business owner, a person knowledgeable of business along with a team of knowledgeable martial artists to run and execute programs that resolve and combat community issues making the school a valuable resource to the community in which it resides. These franchises take on America's top ten issues and provide customized classes from the inventory of martial arts techniques and systems to allow patrons to select which class or classes they feel are needed to meet their needs. Thereby allowing martial arts schools to better serve their customers and reduce the high turnover rate. In addition, the National Martial Arts League Franchise is listed on the Franchise Registry which provides the opportunity for all Kumite Fightclub and National Martial Arts League Franchisees to have 85% of their loan guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. Their franchise model also includes an approved business plan, the opportunity to draw a salary as they grow the franchise and a 401K retirement program for owners and school instructors. The Franchise also offers as much as 50% discount on all franchise offerings to veterans. If you have ever been interested in owning your own business or your own martial arts business but have never been financially able to move forward, maybe you should consider owning a National Martial Arts League dojo franchise, otherwise known as a Kumite Fightclub.
