REC Success

Every owner I meet can tell me what is wrong with someone else's school.

Almost none can tell me what is wrong with their own.

That is not a character flaw. You cannot read the label from inside the jar. You have been standing in the same building for nine years looking at the same schedule, the same staff, the same three programs. Your blind spot is exactly the size of the thing you look at every day.

Banff is two days in a room where other operators look at your business for you. Your retention numbers. Your staffing. What you charge and why. Which programs are carrying you and which ones you keep out of loyalty.

Some of what you hear will be uncomfortable. That is the point. Nobody drives to Alberta to be agreed with.

Oct 28–29. Banff, Alberta. Limited attendance.

🏔️ Nine weeks out from Banff.

Oct 28–29. Banff, Alberta. A room of school owners who are done guessing.

I have run this event every year because the same thing keeps happening: an owner walks in stuck at $18K a month and walks out with a plan that gets them past $40K. Not theory. Profit centers, staffing, retention, and the numbers behind them.

Who it's for:
🥋 Owners running one location who want a second
🥋 Multi-location operators who need systems, not hustle
🥋 GMs being groomed to run the business

Seats are limited and I keep it that way on purpose.

💰 Local Google searches are not always casual browsing. Many come from people who are ready to make a decision.

Approximately 28% of local searches lead to a purchase.

For a martial arts school, that action could begin with:

🥋 A paid trial
📅 An introductory appointment
📞 A phone call
👨👩👧 A family visiting your academy
💳 A new membership

Google Ads can place your school in front of prospects when their intent is highest—but only when the campaign, keywords, landing page and tracking are properly managed.

Do not waste your advertising budget with a generic agency that does not understand the martial arts industry.
