Programs are amazing

[terryl965]

You know I started several new ways of teaching in the school and to my amazement everything is going well. In the Little Dragons program five new students in the first week, my wife is taking care of that one. We also added the Black belt club and had four new students join that. We have done a semi less workout for the adults and we have 6 new adults. so all in all we are moving forward, I still teach my too classes a day which is the fight team and my adult and teenagers that do not mind a hard workout. Thanks for all the help from alot of you.

Good to know that everything is working out. It is nice to see that you can still give the people what they want without compromising your art or your way of teaching.

Yes this was a hard decission for me as some of you know, but in the end we can keep the doors open and also give some of the people what they want without really selling out the school as a whole.

Very glad that things are improving and going even better.
Change is good. Change sometimes is the hallmark of success.

Continuing good luck for your great future. :asian:

A martial arts business is no different from any other service business, you have to be able to change, nothing EVER stays the same for very long. You are doing the right thing, our school is very large, we have over 300 training students and the owners are always changing things up to keep everyone interested. Good job, I'm glad things are working out for you. This renewed interest will keep you from getting so down on yourself.

[igillman]

That's great news. I am glad to hear that things are going well.

Glad it's working out and that you seem more content about it.

I am glad things are working out well for you. Thanks for hanging in there. Honest expertise is hard to find these days!

[Windsinger]

Congrats, Terry! I'm glad to hear it's working out for you. :)

Looks like:

I would love to have around 200 students by year end.
is well on it's way.

[IcemanSK]

Great news, Terry!

[dancingalone]

Good luck with your school! You might consider adding a video game night at the dojang where you organize a tournament using a MA fighting game. Add pizza and party favors and this might be popular with both the parents and kids. The dojang my niece attends does this and it's always fun.

dont forget the other things we talked about on the phone

Really glad to hear it, Terry. Teaching is tough, and a constant struggle to adjust on the run (nothin' you don't know :)). Must be doubly hard when your livelihood is at stake. :asian:

[bluekey88]

That's goo dnews Treey. More improtantly, I sense that you are more at peace with this than before...that's even better. It sounds you're working a good compromise here. Here's hoping that some of these new students grow into folks that'll participate in the harder classes down the line :)

Peace,
Erik

Glad you found a good balance and thus good success sir!

Side note....TF...please fix your website...I'm begging you. :)

it works fine in firefox

Ahhhh...yes, I can see it fine with FF. I think it has to do with the scripts that you have in there. Did you do build this off of MSOffice applications or dreamweaver, or...?

Tools like little dragons and BBC are just that... tools. Used by a poor mechanic, the highest quality tools will enable him to ruin a car. Used by a good mechanic, those same tools will enable him to better repair the car.

Likewise, used as nothing more than a commercial gimmick paired with lackluster or unsound instruction, they can degrade a school. Used wisely and paired with quality instruction, they help you to connect with your students more effectively and thus, train them better and for longer.

Great to hear that it is working for you!

Sounds like you are having fun with it!

(and to tell you the truth, the Little Dragons are a fun class to teach...testing some times, but those little Boogers are too funny some times!)

Just don't show any fear....they can always smell fear!

Terry, I am so glad to read that things are going well with your school. I know from your posts that some of these changes meant a lot of difficult decisions. I am happy most of all that you are happy with the progress so far.
