Sep 11
🥋 So You Want to Open a Martial Arts School?
What does it really take to open and operate a successful martial arts school?
In this round-table episode of The Dojo Exchange, we go beyond the techniques, belts, and curriculum and dive into the business side of martial arts.
We’re talking about the realities of becoming a school owner—from finding students and building a community to marketing, leadership, finances, retention, managing instructors, and keeping your passion for martial arts alive while running a business.
This is an honest conversation with experienced martial artists and school owners about the lessons they’ve learned, the mistakes they’ve made, and what they wish they knew before opening their doors.
