8 Profitable Martial Arts Business Ideas for 2022

[@martialartsthoughts]

I was an instructor in a martial arts school before going to the military.. Working with children on the spectrum was my specialty. I look forward to opening my own school soon.. This is a great episode guys!!

My dream is to open a martial arts gym and teach. I never had success. To get a student base and able to pay rent. I knew if I had that money I could start a successful Taekwondo gym that also specializes in MMA and real world self defense with Kali and Jiujitsu stuff. I also work as a bouncer, security guard and loss prevention officer that has real world experience and also trained an MMA fighter with success in the past. Oh well. I just need to figure this out. I would also love to teach kids as well as adults. Every age. I trained in Korea, Philippines etc and won many tournaments in my younger days. I am 5th dan and master certified from Korea as well as Kali certified instructor in Philippines.

I love your videos on this topic and this guest! My question is how does someone determine fair market value/competitive price for bjj memberships?

[@AlecBaulding]

I'll have to ask Matt

I got Matt’s reply: First you have to look at your market within a 50 mi.² area. Second you have to look at the products you offer. Do you offer executive classes, kids classes, multiple disciplinary products? Once you ascertain all this information you must then sit down and do a SWOT map. Once you figure out your strengths, weaknesses , opportunities and threats then and only then can you find out what your true value is. And remember if you don’t know your value there is always someone out there who will tell you what it is and I promise you it will always be less than your true value.

[@AlecBaulding]

Also take into consideration your primary teacher. Are they within the top 10% of all the other instructors within your 50 mi.² radius. If they are not you need to level up. They need to strive to be within that 10% of instructors or you as a business owner need to be looking for someone else. If you do not strive to have the best instruction then your secondary instructors will see no need to get better themselves. When you look across the nation you see variable ranges of memberships. And often just because the instructor is a world champion does not make them the best instructor. Although there are several world champions who are fabulous instructors but the basic premise is that you need someone who understands the product very well and then has the ability to transfer that knowledge in a meaningful and digestible way. When you find this person or the person you have learns to do this you will be able to raise your prices as word of mouth and the value your students believe they are getting will increase exponentially. I’m still thinking about this question but I would like to say that facilities have a lot to do with this as well. If your facilities are top-notch clean, crisp, and show success. Then your patrons will believe they’re buying success. This along with the other things I spoke about will allow people to pay more for your product. If you give off the impression that you’re barely making it. Then they will barely pay you.

@@AlecBaulding wow thanks! That is a ton to consider! It’s going into my business notes. I’m currently active duty Air Force and have set up 2 programs in remote locations at missile wings in North Dakota and Montana. I’ve fallen in love with teaching I’ve improved on a lot in there. I’m currently a brown belt and pushing myself with practice and getting back from an injury hoping to compete by May. But I’ve been teaching a ton however the business side seems wholly different from instructing and executing bjj. It’s like a whole new skill tree! I’m passing this to my professors!

I feel a lot of arrogant, resentful energy in this... I dont know... but it feels a bit cultish... Im only about 7 min in... and the scientology/cult vibes this dude gives off are so strong.

[@denverwingchun9852]

If you are charging $50 a month for BJJ my only question is where are these schools! I want to go there!

[@AlecBaulding]
