Hello, I saw a book at Border's this past week, On how to start a martial school. Not sure of the title by written by a lady. Mostly on the business end of running a martial art school.
Read Black Belts magazine and look for the Advertisement selling books on this. Check out the major martial art books publications. So many place to look including the Web sites. Also all books on how to start a business is also a must read. Running a martial art school is not about techniques only. There is the business side, people side, management side. Do you know how to manage people?
Anyone can open a martial school. A sign your business is doing good.......If you get repeat customers and can keep them...? every year? than you are doing the right things. Losing lots of customers...doing the wrong thing.
You must believe in your self, your abilities and act and behave as role model every single time of the day and for everyone to see. A leader always and respect to all always.
Running any business is hard work and expect long hours......
Running a school is not about you...but to help all your students become better than before. You must always be in top shape....eat right...and care for everyone equally......and always..........
It can be rewarding and fun to do.......Best of luck and ......Aloha
