| About Stephen Oliver |
|
Who is Stephen Oliver and Why Should I Listen To Him???
Gee – in our industry it seems like everyone has popped up to offer advice – how do you tell fact from fantasy? Value from Fraud?
Unfortunately in our industry most of the really successful people are spending their time growing their staff, students, schools, and especially their net profit not sharing their secrets with you. I am different from most of those sharing information in a variety of VERY important ways that are important to you and will help you dramatically grow your school – and, your income.
Many of the “gurus” in our industry fall into one of the following categories:
1. Never been there – never done that.
That’s right – there’s a BUNCH of people trying to sell you advice who have never sat where you sit – and, dealt with the problems and opportunities that you face every day. They often are excellent speakers – and, persuasive purveyors of their own products, programs, or subscriptions but really never did it themselves. Their ideas are unproven. Their perspective limited to that of an outsider.
How am I different?
Well – I opened my first school in 1975. And, have been continuously operating my Mile High Karate schools in Denver since 1983. Mile High Karate currently has successful locations throughout North America. I’ve operated a large school operation – have taught 1000’s and run every aspect of a school. And, can teach you step by step, item by item how to replicate my success – without the “brain damage!”
2. Not even a martial artist!
Believe it or not – there are “experts” in the martial arts business who aren’t even martial artists. They don’t understand the training, mindset, and love for the martial arts that we share – then dare to tell real martial artists how to run a school teaching real martial arts skills and curriculum.
How am I different?
I began studying martial arts in 1969. Trained in Tae Kwon Do with the Jhoon Rhee Institute along side the likes of World Champions Jeff Smith, John Chung, Charlie Lee, and the most awesome stable of kickboxers ever assembled. More recently I was promoted to 8th Degree Black Belt by Jeff Smith. Mile High Karate includes some of the top martial artists in the World from former World Champion Jeff Smith to the top people in the “Parker Kenpo” lineage, the top instructors in Kung Fu, Traditional Karate, Tae Kwon Do and, event Thai Kick-Boxing & BJJ.
3. Only run a school in their memory.
Some of those who consult or run organizations or even “fake franchises” only run a martial arts school in their memory – in some case distant memory. Some of those recollections seem more like a distant dream (or, in some cases vivid nightmare!) Many of these people operated in very different circumstances and times.
How am I different.
I am still totally immersed in the daily operations of martial arts schools – up to doing 527 enrollment conferences in the past 3 years personally – nose to nose, belly to belly. Every Friday I meet (by phone & webinar) with our Regional Develoers from around the world. Every Wednesday I meet with our school owners, school managers and instructors – and, solve the everyday problems that you face in the real world (albeit at possibly a higher volume.)
4. Never ran a successful school.
Even those advise givers who really are Black Belts – and, run or have run schools – usually never ran a particularly successful operation. Many got into offering advice about running a school or, put together an organization (license, association or other fake – often illegal – franchise) since they really couldn’t figure out how to make much of a living running a school or schools of their own.
How am I different?
Right now – several Mile High Karate schools will do over $500,000.00 in gross revenues (in some cases much more) we will add many more locations with owner-operators like you, and with regional developers who develop multiple schools in their protected region. I broke the $1,000,000.00 a year barrier – way back in 1985 – and continue to operate a hugely successful operation. I’ve made a six figure + personal income for over 26 years strictly from schools.
5. “Flash in the Pan”
Often this comes in the guise of – gee I just started figuring this stuff out and had a great year last year. What if you pay me to tell you about my short-term successes. I did $ (pick a number $100,000 net, $400,000 gross, etc., etc.) will do more this year – and, would love to show you how I did it.
How I am different?
Well – I’ve already covered this for you – but, let’s just say that there are many people who have a good year of two. Let’s see if they can weather the ups and downs of our industry – and, boom years and recession.
6. Personality driven – not duplicatable.
I think we’d both be able to draw upon a few examples of Magnetic Personalities – who’s personal success is exciting – but, really not something that could EVER be replicated in your operation.
How am I different?
I’ve run a large school operation since 1983. In that time nearly 100% of our teaching, marketing, and sales were accomplished by employees (or, now franchise school owner/operators) who had to implement my systems. They are not dependent upon charisma or unstoppable energy. I have spent years studying operations and marketing – including formally achieving a Master’s in Business Administration – that included having a literal bevy of MBA’s and Ph.D.’s analyze the martial arts school business – to help me create powerful duplicatable systems for school operations.
7. Have lost touch with what works in the 21st century.
Unfortunately the industry is full of dinosaurs and leaders of the past – who’s time has long since passed, but who’s friends and associates are unwilling to say “the emperor has no clothes.” Systems that may have been revolutionary in 1970 or 1980 (even 1990 and beyond) may be out of date or just plain insufficient in the current environment.
How am I different?
In a variety of ways I continue to explore the “leading edge” of new technologies, teaching techniques, marketing strategies, and technological enhancements. I explore the latest approaches not only through my own school implementation but through an unmatched “master-mind” team of industry leaders that I network with and share ideas with constantly. The latest strategies and tools are immediately available to all of our franchisees.
A Little Background:
Maybe I was just born under a lucky star – but when it comes to running a professional martial arts school I was born with the proverbial “Silver Spoon.”
My training started in 1969 in the Texas/Oklahoma “Blood & Guts” era. I was with the at Jhoon Rhee Institute Branch in Tulsa, OK in the Jhoon Rhee, Allen Steen, Pat Burleson linage being directly taught at when I started by Jhoon Rhee Black Belts Gran & Greg Moulder, Bob Olinghouse, and David Harrelson.
I started my first school (under Jhoon Rhee) in 1974 and, concurrently trained with Jeff Smith along with Roger Green (Joe Lewis’ first Black Belt), and a variety of others in Oklahoma and Texas.
In 1978 I received by Black Belt directly from Jhoon Rhee along with Jeff Smith and a wide collection of champion Kickboxers and forms competitors. I was offered a teaching position in Washington. I was a National Merit Scholar and A student and already was accepted for college at the University of Tulsa with a full scholarship for the first year and partial scholarship beyond the first year. I attended school there while applying for transfer to Princeton, Stanford, and Wharton along with Georgetown University.
While attended college at Georgetown University I was a head instructor and branch manager for The Jhoon Rhee Institute, in Washington, D.C.
At the time the Jhoon Rhee Institute was the #1 martial arts business organization in the world. I sat through hours and hours of training sessions and meetings with a few notable figures in the martial arts industry: Jhoon Rhee (father of American Tae Kwon Do,) Nick Cokinos (Then President of the Jhoon Rhee Institute, now chairman and owner of Educational Funding Company,) Jeff Smith (the DC Bomber – first World Light Heavy Weight Kickboxing Champion and one of the top school owner’s in the United States,) Ned Muffley (then General Manager for the Jhoon Rhee Institute and now General Manager for Educational Funding Company) and many other’s.
When I graduated from Georgetown – I decided against moving on to big corporate America – and, put pursuing an MBA on hold.
I put together a very extensive business plan with Jhoon Rhee, Nick Cokinos, Jeff Smith and Ned Muffley’s help. Spent 12 months studying direct response, business management, and sales marketing at the Library of Congres and the SBA. Read everything that I could get my hands on about advertising – specifically direct mail and copywriting. I also spend several months at the Federal Trade Commission where I had an opportunity to read the sales manuals and management training materials for every major health spa chain in the United States and the other larger martial arts school organizations.
In a rather gutsy move I then moved across the country to Denver, Colorado and with $10,000 opened 5 schools in 18 months – and grew to over 1,500 active students and over a $1,000,000 in revenue by 1985.
Over the year’s I’ve continued to develop my schools and experiment with a huge number approaches.
In 1989 I decided to extend my management knowledge base and went back to school for a Master’s Degree in Business Administration (ie. MBA) with a primary focus marketing.
At the same time I began promoting the Mile High Karate Classic – which for 10 years was a very successful and highly rated NASKA world tour event.
During these many year’s I’ve had the privilege of meeting and working with just about every successful business person, teacher, and school owner in the martial arts industry. I’m lucky to count as close friends a range of leaders including Nick Cokinos, Jhoon Rhee, Jeff Smith, Andrew Wood, Tim and Dave Kovar, Steve LaVallee, Keith Hafner and just about everyone who’s accomplished anything in our industry.
These industry leader’s have taught me much – and, I believe often consider me a mentor and leader in the business of martial arts school operations.
During these years I’ve had many huge successes – and, some spectacular failures. As in all endeavors – the failures have taught me much more than the successes. What I consider by greatest strength is a willingness to continue to take risks and try new approaches to all of the challenges of school operation.
In the recent past – I decided to pursue what I think of as an informal Ph.D. in Internet and Direct Response Marketing. I’ve traveled around North America – and spent way over $250,000 on a variety of internet marketing, direct marketing, and sales training seminars and programs – and, have developed several internet companies – many totally unrelated to martial arts.
I continue to run a chain of schools that’s spread out from Washington, D.C. where we have a national training center, to Denver to Fresno and Miami along with New Zealand and Australia.
I’ve written a series of books on Marketing and Management for Martial Arts Schools and a series on Character Development and Leadership for kids and lecture around the world on School operations – and, continue to expand my knowledge of all details or running a successful martial arts business.
I’ve been a part of NAPMA since prior to it’s founding, I developed it’s Maximum Impact Program, Inner Circle, and Peak Performers and took over as CEO and Publisher in 2007.

The Secrets the NINJA Knew that Can Help You Grow YOUR Business
 Martial Arts Legend Stephen K. Hayes
An-shu Stephen K. Hayes has trained for over forty years in the martial arts, and was inducted into the Black Belt Hall of Fame in 1985. He earned 10th-Degree Black Belt in the art of ninjutsu in Japan, and is the founder of To-Shin Do, a modern self-protection system. In the 1990s, he traveled with the Dalai Lama of Tibet as personal protection escort for the Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
A dynamic and in-demand motivational speaker, warrior philosopher Stephen K. Hayes is the author of 19 books, and producer of a wide array of training DVDs.
The Ninja Master Reveals:
Serving a GREATER Need for Your Students, and Why They Will Reward You Handsomely for It.
How to Garner Loyalty and Inspire Your Students and Staff to Help You Grow Your School.
About An Shu Stephen Hayes:
The founder of To-Shin Do Kasumi-An Ninja Martial Arts has spent his entire adult life in the pursuit of perfection through the study of the Asian martial arts and spiritual traditions, living and traveling throughout North America, Japan, Europe, the Arctic, China, Tibet, Nepal, and India.
Promoting the benefits of Life Mastery Through Martial Arts, he travels the world as teacher, seminar leader, and lecturer, inspiring others by translating his extensive background in martial arts and meditation into practical lessons for handling the pressures and uncertainties of life.
Students, readers, and seminar participants have reported that his teachings have brought them deep encouragement and empowerment, and inspired them to achieve new levels of success in their personal and professional lives.
He began his martial arts career at Miami University in Ohio studying karate as a teenager in the 1960s. “I had wanted to study judo ever since I was a tiny child. It is still a mystery to me how I even knew about Japanese martial arts, growing up in 1950s America. There were no schools, movies, or books to encourage me. I chose Miami University because I was told they had a judo club. It turned out to be Korean Tang Soo Do karate, not the judo I was longing for, but I jumped in with full commitment.”
While a university student, he read a series of articles in Black Belt Magazine about Japan’s ninja phantom warriors he had first read about in a James Bond novel as a high school student. “Incredibly inspiring lore! Painful to know that such an art existed and was impossible for me to learn. Too bad that martial art was not taught in my hometown…”

Painful to know that such an art existed and was impossible for me to learn. Too bad that martial art was not taught in my hometown…”
The early ’70s were the days of knockdown full contact karate – forerunner of kickboxing in the 1980s, toughman contests in the 1990s, and MMA prize fights in the 2000s. “I was in my early 20s, wondered just how good a fighter I was, all belt ranks aside, and for a while got swept away in the popular martial arts fad of the era. Ultimately I could not shake the realization that I had not been attracted to martial arts as a sportsman originally. I was not really motivated by the idea of being a ‘competition fighter’. At heart I was still inspired by childhood aspirations of training to be a protector, a promoter of peace through strength. I could not let go of the image of the ninja.”
“My kickboxer buddies teased me about going to Japan to be a spy or assassin, but I had to go. What an insane gamble, but I had to do it. I had to see for myself if the legendary ninja still existed in modern Japan. I wrote letters but got no reply. I was desperately determined. Knowing nobody in Japan, having no idea of how I would find the ninja dojo, I bought an air ticket and flew to Japan anyway.”
On a hot steamy July day in 1975, Stephen K. Hayes stepped off a jetliner in Tokyo with the thinnest of hopes that he could find the Togakure ninja dojo. “What a miracle. I found them and they accepted me as an uchi-deshi student in the grandmaster’s home dojo. You can read the story of my search for the ninja dojo and how I got started training in Japan in The Ninja and Their Secret Fighting Art.”

Leading Your Organization to the Next Level for the
Martial Arts School Owner
 Col. Larry R. Donnithorne (Ret), PhD – Leadership and Character Skills Professor
Schools all across the world are realizing that their students and communities NEED a program that’s MUCH MORE than just “kicking and punching”!
Properly structured Leadership and Character development programs are PROVEN to generate amazing student outcomes and accelerated profits for the school owners.
Dr. Larry Donnithorne, renowned author of “The West Point Way Of Leadership” will give you the ROAD MAP to creating a TRULY effective Character Development and Leadership program for your students!
This is FOR REAL!!! Not just “lip service”…..
If you are looking for a MAJOR competitive advantage in 2009, while your competition shudders in fear of a troubled economy, THIS IS IT!!!
The Man Who LITERALLY "Wrote the Book" on Leadership Presents:
4 Lessons Taught at West Point that EVERY Marital Arts Student Should Learn Before they Receive Their Black Belt.
Why "Ethics" Can and MUST Be Taught, How to Fill this NEED in Your Community, and Why a Marital Arts School is the Perfect Place to Do It!
The 2 Most Important "Tools" the Future Leader Must Be Armed With to Ensure Their Success
About Dr. Donnithorne:
President Emeritus and Distinguished Professor of Ethics and Leadership
Department:
Business, Leadership Degrees and Experience:
- Ed.D. (Harvard University)
- M.A. Economics (Stanford University)
- M.S. Civil Engineering (Stanford University)
- B.S. (U.S. Military Academy - West Point)
Dr. Larry Donnithorne began his formal higher education at the United States Military Academy at West Point from which he graduated in 1966. He later earned master’s degrees in economics and civil engineering from Stanford University and his doctorate in education from Harvard University. Drawing upon his education and years of experience practicing leadership, Dr. Donnithorne has spoken to hundreds of audiences on the practice of good leadership and sound ethics. Describing inspirational exemplars of leadership from history and literature, he brings to life the principles of ethical leadership and stimulates his audiences to think in fresh ways about timeless ideas and the important choices confronting people who really want their lives to count for something.
Dr. Donnithorne’s years of military service after West Point led him initially into leadership positions within the Army Corps of Engineers. At age 22, he led a 150-man unit in the construction of bridges and airfields in the active combat zone of Vietnam. He later served in the management of engineering projects in peacetime in Korea and the US. For many years he maintained an active registration as a Professional Engineer.
His career gradually shifted more heavily into education, beginning with an appointment in 1976 to teach at West Point. He continued there both in teaching and in administration for thirteen years, teaching courses in three disciplines: economics, the psychology of leadership, and moral philosophy.
Following the conclusion of his military service in 1993, Dr. Donnithorne served for more than five years as president of a state-supported community college in North Carolina. He then moved to the presidency of Colorado Christian University in the suburbs west of Denver in July, 1998. Retiring from that role in August, 2006, he continues to teach ethics and leadership at Colorado Christian University, Denver Seminary, and elsewhere in the US and abroad.
Among Dr. Donnithorne’s publications is a book titled The West Point Way of Leadership: From Learning Principled Leadership to Practicing It, released by Doubleday/Currency in 1994. A book review appearing in the Harvard Business Review concluded that “the West Point model of leadership is a fascinating and insightful one, one that Donnithorne presents modestly, carefully, and convincingly….The philosophy that underlies it … is based on moral principle, timeless values, and the leader’s selfless commitment to others.”

WARNING! - WARNING!
The NAPMA “Extreme Success Academy”
WORLD TOUR - Is Unlike ANY Other “Conference”, “Seminar” or “Event”
You’ve EVER Attended!
There is a LOT in a Name!
The NAPMA “Extreme Success Academy” is just that!
It’s for SERIOUS School Owners, who are FOCUSED on developing HIGH Quality students, and who also want to build HIGHLY Profitable School as well! School owners who are “satisfied” with the norm, who are content with mediocrity, or who are willing to be the “victim” of the latest flux in the economy need NOT apply! |
I wanted to be “up front” with you from the get go, and let you know what you should expect at the NAPMA Extreme Success Academy!
I guess it’s only fair to explain why we are doing something SO different, and why it might be “just the thing” to put your school on the fast track to Extreme Success this year! (Not just a little success, not just a “few” new students, but EXTREME results, Extreme Growth.)
Now...I know what you must be thinking, why is this so different, how is this so different, and why should I spend my time, energy, effort and money to attend this one of a kind event above all other events.
Why the “Extreme Success Academy”
is so different
Some seminars, events, conferences and shows are a bit like Chinese food...you like it, but you're hungry half an hour later, feeling deflated and unsatisfied.
Members have been telling us for years, that they truly enjoyed the past “World Conferences” and Big Live Events like it, BUT they wished that there was an event that had more “Meat on the Bone”. More “Nuts and Bolts” of HOW to fill their school with new students, HOW to Increase Student Quality, and HOW to Drive better financial results!
In fact, MANY owners are telling us that they take copious notes during the sessions, but then as soon as they get back to their schools, they can’t make “heads of tails” of them, or are missing a KEY component of the idea that makes it almost valueless, and difficult to implement! I certainly understand how frustrating this can be, it happens to me pretty often as well!
Well, we’ve listened, and now, we’ve now ANSWERED! (and in Spades too!!)
We’ve identified 10 Key Trends in the Martial Arts Industry that are DRIVING schools all over the country to pinnacles of performance previously unheard of even in these “uncertain” economic times!
What the “Extreme Success Academy” is NOT:
This event is NOT for school owners who are not focused on high quality student outcomes, not serious about long term student retention, or on a quest to “Suck Up” as many cash payments as humanly possible without regard to actually DELIVERING on your promises!
This is NOT simply a social gathering (although there will be plenty of opportunity for networking and building relationships) where you will be “wined and dined”, only to realize later that you didn’t REALLY learn anything that will help you actually grow your school!
This is NOT the “same old” speakers, talking about the “same old” antiquated, slow, ineffective, unrealistic, or untested marketing strategies that only worked in 1985 when students were flooding into schools without even the slightest provocation.
This is NOT the type of conference where all you can learn is the newest wiz bang martial arts technique, wrist lock, knife defense etc, although you'll have plenty of opportunities to do that, this is SO MUCH MORE!
This is NOT a conference where you will be distracted by the next new so called “revolutionary” piece of equipment, software package, or “bright shinny object”, while some of these tools are useful, we are going to be Laser Beam Focused on those “tools” that can actually help you grow your school, attract more new students, super-motivate the students you have, and ultimately, MAKE YOU MONEY! |
What the “Extreme Success Academy” IS:
This event IS SPECIFICALLY for entrepreneurial, progressive, forward thinking school owners who are focused on operating a successful BUSINESS, who want to build a substantial future for themselves their families and their staff members, while providing a VERY valuable service to their students that will serve them for the rest of their lives, in an ethical, responsible manner!
This IS a HIGHLY focused conference where we will present IN DETAIL subjects and topics that will HELP YOU MAKE MONEY, help you generate NEW STUDENTS, and help you BUILD A SOLID FUTURE for yourself and your school! (I’ll outline these subjects very clearly for you later in this letter!)
This event IS a STRUCTURED opportunity for you to network, brainstorm, and collaborate with other “Like Minded”, goal orientated, ENTREPRENEURIAL school owners in a focused manner, helping each other solve problems and create new opportunities that one person alone could not!
This IS a conference where you can choose to expand your “technical” skill as a Martial Artist, but even more so, a FANTASTIC opportunity for you to educate your staff members and help them expand their experience level as well! |
Sincerely,
Stephen Oliver
Chief Executive Officer - NAPMA
National Association of Professional Martial Artists
P.S. I almost forgot to mention..I am so sure you will be "blown away" with the PROVEN SUCCESSFUL strategies in the Extreme Success Academy, that I can offer you a 100% MONEY BACK ON THE SPOT Guarantee.
If you participate in the program and are not THRILLED with the content, I will immediately and cheerfully refund 100% of your small investment - and you get to keep the handouts.
The strategies and systems you will
discover here, are GUARANTEED to add
$10,000.00 of more to your school! |

Dear Master Oliver,
A quick note of thanks for another excellent Boot Camp. You provided the most impressive representation of Martial Arts success I have ever seen in one place. I originally attended your Boot Camp because you are one of the rare individuals who has experienced the fortunes and pitfalls of being a multiple school operator. Now, thanks to this year's Boot Camp I was privileged in hearing, meeting, and conversing with many more. Thanks again for a truly invaluable experience.
Sincerely,
Master David Shirley - 8th Degree Black Belt - Villari’s Martial Arts Centers
 Jhoon Rhee, Father of American Tae Kwon Do
"My Student, Stephen Oliver is the new generation of leaders in the Martial Arts Industry. It’s important to me to have him on my Team to really continue developing my business."
Stephen Oliver Literally, made me a millionaire in
24 months!
"I followed his lead and I did what he told me to. In 18 months I had 4 schools, 1200 students, and was grossing $1,000,000.00 a year in an industry where nobody in traditional karate had ever done that. It was simply because I listened to him.
And after I started making a lot of money, I went back to Steve and I said, “Steve, why would you share this to me?” It was because he wanted to edify the industry. He wanted to build an industry.”
Kyoshi Terry Bryan - Built 4 Schools and 1200 Students - Traditional Okinawan Karate

“Stephen Oliver knows the martial arts profession as well as anyone. He brings with him an amazing intellect and a unique perspective honed from years in the trenches.”

"I would personally recommend this Bootcamp to anyone and everyone interested. I’m so impressed with your program that you may give out my number if anyone needs a testimonial to make them come to your next event."
 Tim Kovar
"I learned a tremendous amount at Stephen Oliver’s Ultimate Martial Arts Marketing Bootcamp. I highly encourage you to attend, have a great time, mastermind with some of the best minds in the industry — be challenged to take your school to the next level. By the way, you might just end up being a millionaire" |
 Rick Bell
Author and Speaker
"Stephen Oliver is without a doubt one of the most educated martial arts businessmen in America, but that’s not the reason I endorse his seminar. What makes Stephen Oliver’s marketing seminar the best I've seen is his ability to identify and simplify the critical success factors involved in running a martial arts school, and to teach average school owners who don’t have an MBA, or even a college degree, how to do exactly what he and other millionaire school owners have done to become rich. Stephen Oliver knows how to make a lot of money teaching martial arts, and school owners can make a fortune doing what he says."
 Karl Mecklenburg

Author: "The Heart of the Student Athlete"
“When you can team with other martial arts school owners in NAPMA, your professional association, and have great leadership from someone like Stephen Oliver, then you will have the opportunity to grow personally and professionally much more than you could just by yourself,”
 Sean P. Kirby
National Sales Director
ASF International
"We were truly impressed by the caliber of speakers and the quality of “real-life-scenario” topics presented at your last boot camp. You bring a fresh perspective that simplifies the business of Martial Arts while providing the essential business tools school owners need to succeed in their market. Any school owner who wants to make an impact in their market and increase revenue will benefit from your innovative approach, relaxed atmosphere and powerful seminars – packed with the latest marketing ideas and business tips from the industry’s top school owners. We are looking forward to participating at your next camp."

If You Get One Good Idea, Then It's Paid For Itself, AND You Have the Knowledge FOREVER! "That's the way I look at just about any educational investment. Most of the top producers, and not just those in the martial arts, but in all other fields, are likely to be alloting a certain portion of their income to education and training. The NAPMA program is a great school building tool!
I think it's so important that we're able to pass a NAPMA education to younger students and staff members. I also view my membership in NAPMA as an opportunity to give hack to the martial arts." 
..from less than 50 students, to today I have close to 250
"Dear NAPMA, I’ve been a member for several years now. When I first joined NAPMA I had less than 50 students, today I have close to 250! I think NAPMA is a great organization and is a great window into the professional martial arts industry for those of us who live far from the US. The style of martial arts I teach is called Zen-Do Kickboxing. Zen-Do Bahrain is probably the largest school in the Middle East. I teach children from as young as three years. Our oldest student is a 57-year-old grandmother! My NAPMA membership has been worth every penny. Thank you for making it such a great success."
Suhail G. Algosaibi

 Your monthly support materials are worth 10 times what you charge (maybe I shouldn't say that).
"First of all, I would like to thank you and NAPMA for your help. When my wife and I decided to open a martial arts school, we had practically no business experience. With your monthly business tips, eye-catching ad material, and video support, we've grown by leaps and bounds.
When we first joined NAPMA, we had approximately 25 students and were teaching in an old television repair shop out of the city limits. Both my wife and myself were working full-time jobs plus running our school full time.
We were years ahead in offering any type of cardio karate in this area, because we took NAPMA's advice. This was one of the things that allowed us to more than double our enrollment and be able to move to a better location. I was also in the first group who was ACMA certified. Not only did this give me local publicity, but it also enhanced my teaching techniques.
At the NAPMA World Conference, I was introduced to Krav Maga. My wife and myself traveled to California and went through the Krav Maga instructor program. I go to CA several times a year now to train. Krav Maga has not only enriched our training, but it has enabled us to double adult student enrollment by adding an exciting, to-the-point style of self-defense.
We cannot begin to thank you enough for helping build the backbone of our dojo. We now have a student base of 130, and have recently expanded our school to double the size with a bigger lobby, smoothie bar, and a second classroom currently under construction. This is now our full-time job. Our plan is to be at 200 students within this year.
Your monthly support materials are worth 10 times what you charge (maybe I shouldn't say that). Not only would they help a school just starting out, but also help existing schools by adding new ideas and maintaining retention."

 ...you have helped me grow into a successful business with two studios, five recreations centers, over 450 students and 11 instructors.
"I wanted to express my satisfaction with the NAPMA product and what it has done for my business. For ten years I worked out of recreation centers and sports clubs. NAPMA helped me transition from a part time karate teacher to a full time karate school owner.
The programs that I currently use in my school, from self-defense to business software, have come to me through ideas from NAPMA conventions or from articles in MAPRO.
I have been in business for 17 years and a NAPMA member for the past 9 years I can proudly report that you have helped me grow into a successful business with two studios, five recreations centers, over 450 students and 11 instructors.
I appreciate all that you have done and continue to do to help me with my growing business."
Ken Klotz
Klotz Institute of Karate
 ...grew to over 300 students
"The best thing about NAPMA is that it has helped me realize the value of martial arts training. It was over 10 years ago that I quit my full time job in nursing to open my school. I’m glad I was insightful enough to join NAPMA six months before I even opened the doors!
NAPMA has been there with me from the beginning-from how to choose a location, to systems for tracing enrollments and retention, to special events, and really effective “NON-BLACK BELT EYES” ads. NAPMA has been there with me, every step of the way, as I grew to over 300 students and completed an expansion literally doubling my mat space.
But best of all, NAPMA encouraged me to truly value the character development skills I teach and to price the training accordingly. Without that encouragement, I’m sure I couldn’t be where I am today. NAPMA is great at helping school owners to do their best because NAPMA is the BEST!"

 Master John Cantu South East Texas Martial Arts
Houston, TX
....from $16,000/month to $55,000/month and still climbing!
"Hi. My name is John Cantu. I’m an instructor out of Houston, Texas. Just outside of Houston, Texas, I have a school named Southeast Texas Martial Arts. For the first nine months, I really just kind of relied on the program, but as soon as I settled on the program, the first three months just took off. It has created a totally different environment for me and my staff. We’ve now become a professional school. Our monthly was probably around the 16,000 to 18,000. Now, we’re about $50,000.00, $55,000.00 and we’re still climbing. The student value or should I say the student quality has increased. Before, we were just down to like 18,000 a month. We were charging about $75 a month. We had a lot of problems with angry parents. Now, we really have high quality students. Being with Master Oliver and being surrounded with so professional individuals that are heading the same direction, it’s not hard to actually just move forward. Basically, just do what they say. They coach all the way through the teleconferences and everything. It’s just been more than wonderful. My staff has now -- has more vision of what we’re going through now and we are looking to expand and all this is basically 'cause of Master Oliver’s program."
 Duane Brumit - Tri-Star Martial Arts - Bradley, IL
....from $19,000 to $47,000.00 in 9 months..
"My name is Duane Brumitt. I own Tri-Star Martial Arts Academy in Bradley, Illinois, about 60 miles south of Chicago, and I’ve been a coaching client of Master Oliver’s for about nine months now. And what was kind of funny was I went to the regional boot camp earlier this year and learned a whole bunch of material, and unfortunately, I’m the type of individual that wants to have everything in place prior to actually implementing it. And being on the coaching calls with Master Oliver, he definitely helped me to take that leap of faith and to, you know, just to go for it. And the very first month that I actually put into the practice the things that he was teaching me, my normal gross was about 19,000 on those months, and that June, that month that I actually implemented everything, I did 47,000 that month, and so the investment is peanuts compared to the money that you’re going to make and the things that he’s going to teach you. And so, it’s absolutely and really worth it, and you’d be stupid not to do it in my opinion."
 Kristen Alexander - USA Family Karate - Huntsville, AL
....from 40 students to now, over 1000 students...
"We have been members of NAPMA since August of 1999 and we have made major progress since the addition of NAPMA's materials. We have been able to implement messages of the week among our three locations, with consistency, thanks to the NAPMA Words of the Week. We are able to plan events using our monthly packages and I truly enjoy the NAPMA monthly magazine. I read it as soon as it comes in the mail and I don't put it down until I have finished reading it! The video workshops have allowed us to expand our Master's Training curriculum and we always have more exciting information to provide to our students. I enjoy the Black Belt Leadership support and use it in my team meetings. I feel that we owe much of our continued growth to the support we receive from NAPMA and I would love to give back to the organization. I feel that the networking with other schools will be invaluable and I will never forget that we started with only 40 students on a month-to-month basis. We would never be where we are now without the help we have received from NAPMA and United Professionals. We now have approximately 1000 students over our three locations in North Alabama, we teach the martial arts and Kardio Kickbox classes for the University of Huntsville in Alabama, we are currently building a 10,000 sq. foot strip mall to house my location (we will move up the street) and to build equity and long-term stability, I am the first female on the United Professionals Board of Directors, and my husband and I are dedicated to constant and never-ending growth. I would be thrilled to support other people on a similar path and keep the martial arts community thriving! If you have any questions for me or would like to discuss anything, please don't hesitate to contact me!"

....from 70 students to 321 and holding STRONG!
"Hi guys, My time with you has been nothing short of great the info packs that you send out every month have been excellent, I gotten so many great ideas from you and implementing them has put my schools in the lead here my competition have not got a chance with the way the currently are doing things.
I have gone from a school of approximately 70 and I say approximately because we did not have good statistics, to a school of 321 and holding strong and expanding to larder facility I doing all this out of 1,000 sq feet dojo, I use to charge $35 per month now, after dramatically raising my prices, I have people charging a lot less for classes a half a mile away and we are still 4 time bigger. so thank you NAPMA. Could you please send me role and duties that you think a Program director should have. I heard the tape that Rob did and now we are looking to put on a Program director."

“What an outstanding book, not only for a Karate school, but for any local business that wants to market them self more effectively online. Tons of resources and details that will save hours and lots of dollars.”
 We have gone from 250 students to 330 and our income went from 23k to 30k every month and this last month Jan. 41k
"Just wanted to let you know that since the summer convention and our many discussions things have been going much better. Jason and I applied the concept of clear and precise instructions on a daily bases. As a result the positive aspects of marketing, retention, and good will has resulted in an increase in every area including attitude and excitement. We have gone from 250 students to 330 and our income went from 23k to 30k every month and this last month Jan. 41k. The moral to this story for other owners is keep it simple -- apply the simple rules of management each and everyday and allow the laws of compensation to work for you. Again, thank you for being there when I needed you -- and I am sure it will be an ongoing relationship."

 ... also reached our goal of 350 active students
"I would be remised if I did not send a BIG thank you to the NAPMA organization.
I have been a NAPMA member for ten years and have not regretted one moment of it. NAPMA has been the industry leader when comes to innovation and change.
The program that your fine organization offers has allowed me to become a true professional martial artist. Ten years ago we implemented the Cardio Karate/Fitness Kickboxing program, which is still going strong today. We also redesigned our preschool program to encompass the Little Ninjas curriculum. As for staff training, we use the “Way Of”, ACMA Instructor Manuals and the NAPMA Staff Development programs. The audio and video/ multimedia package that I receive as a member each month has been without a doubt the greatest benefit of being a NAPMA member. The contents of this package keeps me up on the latest trends in our industry and provide excellent content for my staff meetings.
Through our membership with NAPMA we have not only achieved 15 years in the industry, but we also reached our goal of 350 active students! Thank you, NAPMA!"

 I would not have been able to go full-time without the many ideas and motivation I have received from NAPMA
“I am a full-time martial arts instructor and have been teaching on my own for 12 years. I would not have been able to go full-time without the many ideas and motivation I have received from NAPMA. I owe it all to your organization. By contributing to the monthly package, I truly feel I have given something back to the organization I owe so much to.”

 FROM 0 TO OVER 300 STUDENTS IN OUR 1ST YEAR
"We moved to Santa Barbara where we knew one person and opened up a studio. We decided that it would be a good idea to go to the NAPMA convention and pick up a few ideas. What we found were programs that we could use to build and manage our business, an experienced, professional, helpful NAPMA staff, and other successful martial arts business owners that were happy to share their ideas on how to make a business grow.
We’ve been in business now for a little over a year, have over 300 students and we’re still growing. For over 30 years I’ve kept my martial arts “sword” sharp by daily training, now I keep my business “sword” sharp with NAPMA. Thank you NAPMA. We couldn’t have done it without you."

 I briefly cancelled my membership to NAPMA but soon realized how big a mistake I had made
"Dear NAPMA Team, I briefly cancelled my membership to NAPMA but soon realized how big a mistake I had made by canceling. I am now a member once again, I reactivated my membership yesterday. NAPMA helps me to not only increase my profits each time without fail, but also serves as a monthly motivational tool for all areas of my life. I would like to thank the NAPMA team and take this opportunity to congratulate you on a truly excellent service."

 “Don’t sign up for this program unless you’re ready to achieve phenomenal success!”
“WOW, what is Master Stephen Oliver's Mastermind & Coaching program worth? Well with ideas and help of Master Oliver and his unlimited knowledge we will likely quadruple our gross at each of four locations. The mastermind work, the personalized help have made such an amazing difference for us! I would recommend this program to anyone wishing to do the martial arts business right! It is truly the difference between feast and famine!”

 “I joined NAPMA because their advice made sense and didn’t compromise the integrity of my art.”
“I teach traditional karate-do. I joined the National Association of Professional Martial Artists because their advice made sense and didn’t compromise the integrity of my art or my position as a teacher.
NAPMA is about education and raising the standards of professionalism in the martial arts. For a few dollars a day, I’ve hired a prolific team of graphic artists, marketing experts, martial arts business consultants and researchers that have helped me become financially independent and have allowed me to pursue the essence of karate without selling out. If you’re passionate about teaching the martial arts, NAPMA membership is an absolute must.”

 ...from 3 students to 123 paying students
“I would like to thank you for all the support that NAPMA has gave me and is still giving me. I brought my school from 3 students to 123 paying students in less than a year, without a sign in the out side of the school, with no advertising, and no money to do so. I couldn't have done it without the coaching of your great organization. I am really grateful and happy that there is an entity that is worry about bringing your school to the next level. I was a National Champion, but I didn't know how to pass my knowledge to the students and thanks to NAPMA and its stuff I learned how to be an effective instructor.”

 NAPMA was the reason why my school grew to 300 students.
"Hi Toby,
My name is Korbett Miller and I own Miller’s Martial Arts Academy in Kirkland, WA I recently got back with NAPMA after a couple year break. I really like what you bring to the table. NAPMA was the reason why my school grew to 300 students. The new format is great for giving really solid advice. I am interested in the Kingdom promotion that you folks are doing. I don’t know if I ever got a log in for the website. Could you point me in the right direction. Thanks!"

"Master Oliver, I want to share with you a few thoughts regarding the Extraordinary Marketing Bootcamp last week.
As I told you, last year I was literally blown away with the tried-and-true information you shared with us to increase our student base, our gross, our net and our market share.
Because of last years Bootcamp, my company had a major jump in quality, gross and net from last year. This year's Bootcamp was even better.
I loved the way you brought in THE MASTERS of this industry so they could share their wisdom and understanding of the industry.
I also appreciated your insight in splitting the groups into Marketing and Management. So the strong schools could get stronger and the owners who wanted to have multiple schools could learn from those who have 10 to 20 successful schools. Brilliant.
Also I wanted to thank you for inviting me to your Black Belt Extravaganza in December. That gave me a completely different view of you. The only Master Oliver I knew was the one that was extraordinary in Marketing. The Black Belt Extravaganza showed me a completely different Master Oliver.
One who was truly interested in his students, his Black Belts and their success as Martial Artists. Not only do you give out great business information that has high levels of success, you are the "real deal" with your students. That's important to me, because I am in the classroom with my students as well, and I want to learn from those who can relate to me.
This industry has grown so slow and has been fragmented for so long. I believe it is because most Black Belts in Martial Arts are White Belts in business. I am glad you are sharing this information with those who really want to advance their Martial Arts business.
Ever since I returned, I have spoken to several school owners who want the low down on what the seminar was about. Are you offering the full seminar on audio and/or video format? If so, should they call you or can they purchase it from your website? I also want to purchase a set. My staff will greatly benefit. Yours sincerely,"
