The Martial Arts Industry Association's MASuccess Magazine exists to help grow martial arts participation by helping school owners succeed.
by Cris Rodriguez
There are two aspects of owning a martial arts business in which we, as an industry, need to focus on, level up and improve our skill set: marketing strategies and sales systems.
After all, sales are the lifeblood of our businesses. Our schools live and die by the number of new members we can attract.
Here’s a fact: People are always going to quit.
And I don’t mean to sound harsh, but the reasons they quit doesn’t matter. Your school needs to bring in new people. Without leads walking through your doors, those doors will soon close and your opportunity to have an impact on your community will fade.
It seems silly to see posts in martial arts–related Facebook groups that treat “sales” like a dirty word. Or that martial arts training should be free. Or that if you charge for your classes, you’re a sellout. Give me a break!
The word “salesman” presents a negative image for a lot of people in our industry....
Attending the Martial Arts SuperShow is a one of a kind experience. Last year was my first time going and I loved it, so I decided to write down my thoughts. If you haven't already locked in your tickets, do it today! https://www.masupershow.com/

February 2019.
Mike Metzger. Melody Johnson. Bill Clark. Shane Tassoul. Chuck Norris.
Those were the Speaker names that I read.
Those were the legends in our Industry that I would be sharing the stage with.
And man was I PUMPED!
Having the opportunity to share my love of Digital Marketing at the industry’s
largest and most established conference gave me chills. It was an absolute honor.
My mentor, Mike Metzger (who sometimes has more faith in me than I do) was
the one that signed me up. And I was super nervous!
This was going to be my VERY FIRST SuperShow…
And he had me speaking 4 times!
I knew the most important question I had to answer...

Over the past year, we’ve had over 200 school owners graduate from my 8-Week Marketing Mastermind Course. They took a deep dive into Facebook, Instagram, and Google Advertising, and learned how to use those major platforms to grow their Martial Arts Academy.
Many of them have seen amazing results with their new-found knowledge and skill set. However, many of them also realized that digital marketing can be time consuming and frustrating, especially if it’s not something you’re passionate about.
Most school owners have enough on their plate already. However, it is vital you have a presence on those major platforms.
Why? Because if you’re not, your competitor will be.
And this is exactly why I created Grow Pro Agency.
In the ever-changing online world, keeping up with the constant updates of social media can require not only your time, but also your energy.
And that’s why we’re here...
