The Program That Turns Skeptical Parents Into Raving Fans!



Besides actually getting students through your front door, what's the biggest challenge any martial arts school owner can face?

That's right - it's student retention!

Keeping students and getting parents to be raving fans of your school is the key to long-term martial arts business success. If you can master martial arts marketing, you're halfway there...

But, if you can master the art of martial arts student retention, you can bank on keeping the doors to your martial arts school open for a good long time. Having high student retention also means that you are doing things right, because you're keeping your clients happy.

And, if you teach kids, your "clients" are parents, plain and simple. So how do you turn skeptical moms and dads into raving fans? It's easy, when you know how...

In my new book, "Martial Arts Character Education Lesson Plans for Children: A Complete 16-Week Curriculum for Teaching Character Values and Life Skills in Your Martial Art School", I'll reveal to you my secrets for turning every single parent who walks in your door into a raving fan.

But that's not even the best part... I am also going to show you how to help your students become the absolute happiest kids on the block! I mean, that's what it's all about, right? Let's be honest; if you only wanted to make a lot of money, you'd have picked another profession. There are much easier ways to make a good living than starting and running a martial arts school.

However, that's not to say that you can't make a good living teaching martial arts, because you can. You just have to know how to turn out great students teaching superior martial arts while keeping their parents happy...

And that's what this book is all about. Here's just a small sample of what you'll learn in "Martial Arts Character Education Lesson Plans for Children: A Complete 16-Week Curriculum for Teaching Character Values and Life Skills in Your Martial Art School":

- What benefits are there to teaching a character education program in your school? I mean, don't we already do this? Find out in chapter one...

- Want to become a rock star in your town? You can! The second chapter explains why your skills and services as a character education specialist are more in demand than ever...

- What deadly mistake must you absolutely avoid if you want to maintain your credibility as a character development expert? Find out in chapter 4...

- What must you know about how kids learn and develop in order to teach life skills and character values in your martial arts school? Chapter 5 reveals exactly what I've learned from two decades of teaching this program in my own schools...

- Find out what you can do to "supercharge" the results from your character development programs - and drive the excitement factor in your classes through the roof!

I realize that I could have easily sold this program for ten times the price you purchased it for or more. I’m fully aware that others are licensing their character development programs and curricula for a minimum of $150.00 a month.

But, I’m more concerned with helping school owners succeed than I am with lining my pockets. And, I sincerely believe in the power of this program, so I want to get it into as many hands as possible.

I strongly advise that you do not let the comparatively low price fool you into believing that there’s little value here, because the benefits you’ll receive from implementing this program in your studio are immeasurable.

This program will bring you higher student retention and make you a rock star in your community. Get your copy in Amazon's convenient and portable Kindle format today!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to our curriculum
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2019
Verified Purchase
I purchased this to add to our classes a couple of days a week at the karate studio. They are super easy to add in, only taking a few minutes. The kids have been engaged with the lessons and are all ready to give their input. I’ve actually had a few kids come up to me and mention they like that we have added in the character lessons. I’m sure the parents appreciate it as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Mat Chats

I opened my own martial arts school three years ago, and until I got this book, my character education curriculum wasn't very well thought out. This book has given me a concrete way to teach character to my young students. I'm only into week 5 so far, and already I'm a firm believer. It's so easy to follow and perfect for my kids class. The kids LOVE the mat chats - no joke, I overhead a kid say, "This is my favorite part of class!" Thank you, Mr. Massie!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good, solid
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2017

A good, solid, workmanlike treatment of the subject. Mike Massie has very clearly given careful study to martial arts character education, and has provided a sensible, accessible guide. He includes plenty of suggestions for effective implementation, as well. He offers a systematic approach to instruction in this area, as opposed to the more "scattershot" methods usually employed in martial arts schools.

5.0 out of 5 stars There's a pretty consistent formula to the lessons
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2016
Verified Purchase
This book lays out a detailed step-by-step curriculum for a character-education curriculum suitable for elementary-school aged kids. There's a pretty consistent formula to the lessons, so can use it as-is, or adapt it to your audience (emphasizing different character values, or simplifying the language for younger kids).

Pretty basic information included here. Well written, but if you don't know most of these things already you probably shouldn't be teaching children yet.

I have been looking for the right compliment to my kids classes and I think I have found it with Michael Massie's Character Education Lesson Plans.

It walks you through sixteen weeks of great instruction, how to implement and use of the program.

I can't wait to start using it in my classes starting next week.

Thank You Michael

It's a great ebook, it re-affirmed what I have been teaching and gave me some info for new idea's. Mr. Massie is the real deal a true martial artist of the highest level when it comes to talking about developing character in our students.

He has been through a lot of trial and error in building his martial arts business and his experience that he shares can help you.

Give him a try he offers a lot of free materials that you can read, study and learn from.

Hajime!
