30 Student Campaign

Welcome to my 30 Student Campaign. You got here because you clicked on the link from my Linktree. That is currently the only way to get to this page. As the information on this page grows, I will make the link more readily available.

This page existes (as of now) as a source of reference for me as a reminder of what I still need to do. And for you on how you can help me reach my goal.

Why am I doing this?

Because based on the number of students I have right now, if I add 30 more, I don’t need to work for anybody else but me. This will allow me to be a better instructor, give back more to my community, and be able to spend more time with my family.

How do I plan on getting 30 more students?

I want to say I have a definitive plan with detailed steps, but I don’t. I am playing this by ear. However, I do have a better plan than the underpants gnomes from South Park.

I believe I teach great classes and have a culture in the school that supports a student’s growth, not just in the martial arts, but also as a human being. I have some amazing and supportive families that are part of the school. The key is to get more people to know about the school, to attract more amazing students and families. This is what I am currently doing.

  • I sent out a video text to over 600 people who are in my phones contact folder. I got this idea from Gary Vee. It’s crazy, but I’m willing to try almost anything
  • I am working with 5 local elementary schools on a Summer Training Fundraiser. This will bring kids into the dojo and help raise money for their elementary school. The students who stay on after the summer will be counted toward the 30 new students.
  • I want to say I am posting more regularly on social media, but I am not. I have done better and could be more consistant.
  • We made it to the final 5 in the Columbian’s Best in Clark County. Using this as a talking point will, I believe, help attract new students and families. And if we are declared the winner, then this will also help in the promotion of the school.

What can you do to help?

  • If you know anyone who is interested in Karate, Modular Knife, or Self-Defense classes, tell them about us.
  • Vote for us in the Columbian’s Best in Clark County. We are one of 5 finalists in this years. CLICK HERE
  • Leave us a review on Google CLICK HERE
  • If you are a student or parent of a student (current or previous) record a video so I can use it to help promote the school. This can be done on your own, or you can do it in the school.

What happens when you get 30 new students?

I have thought a lot about this and have considered a few different things. However, two things will happen.

  • We celebrate as a school, this might be a party/bbq not sure what it will look like exactly as of yet
  • Every student in the school will receive a free month of classes as a group award. Details of how this will work are being discussed
  • I put in my two week notice at my 40 hour side hustle

What is the current number of students needed as of today?

30

As new students come in, I will keep this updated.
