Ok I may come into a huge amount of cash come March, say 50K (its actualy closer to 60K), so I'm thinking of re-openning my old school. I actually closed doen the origional due to financial issue with the new economy and got out without too much trouble from being in the RED cash wise. I actually broke even, but my personal security job has cut me down from making $1700 a month to about $750 a month in this economy. Minimum wage is not something I enjoy but whatever keeps me of fed right...?
So here is my figuring for the cash, a) restart my school; actually two schools where I have them open 2 hour a day, 3 days a week alternating schedules. School A: open Mon, Wed, Fri & School B: open Tues, Thurs, Sat.
I'm going back to my origional format for Classes;
Omoto Ryu Jujutsu/Ninjutsu
Street Focus Jujutsu
Tactical Firearms & Small Teams Tactical Training
Now martial arts classes are $65 a month & other schools in the area range from $30 to $60 but I'm forgoing the testing fees. Also I'm the only one offering tactical firearms training. Basic Idea is that the Tactical stuff will be a 40 hour course with 1 hour a week every saturday & each MA class running for an hour each day. I may even offer a discount for the students enrolled in both MA courses at one time; thinking $80 a month for both.
I should also mention that a) I can't attest to the historical legitimacy of the Ninjutsu & as far as I know it goes back 5 generations & has been modified with each generation. I'm a 6th gen student. The Street Focus Jujitsu is an SD adaption of Sport Jujitsu & Combat Jujitsu modernized to current threat conditions with some earily training in basic SD psychology & concepts. However the technical info is based on my training in Sport Jujitsu, military training, RBSD combatives training & BA in psychology (simplified into laymen's terms; I got the BA for promotion points in the Army). With the overall goal of meating modern SD threats.
So does anyone think this is a good business model or what?
Any suggestions would be appriciated?
