Franchise Solutions Adds Pro Martial Arts, a Leading Karate School Franchise, to Client Roster

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct 23, 2008 -
Franchise Solutions, a leading franchise and business buying information website, announced today that Pro Martial Arts, the nation’s foremost karate studio franchise, has joined its client roster. Pro Martial Arts franchised karate studios offer fitness programs for adults and children that are based on the techniques developed by the company’s founder, renowned Grandmaster Ed Samane.

Fitness studios (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/sports_fitness_franchi ...) that offer martial arts, one of the fastest growing sports in the world, are proving to be recession-resistant businesses; and an excellent option for entrepreneurs looking to own a business that thrives regardless of the economic climate. As more people adopt healthy lifestyles, they are adding fun, alternative workout programs like martial arts to their exercise regimens. The demand for cutting-edge, mind-body fitness classes has created dynamic franchise opportunities for prospective business owners.

Pro Martial Arts (http://www.franchisesolutions.com/franchise/Pro_Martial_ ...) provides franchisees with a proven business model and the martial arts expertise of Grandmaster Samane. Since 1979, Grandmaster Samane has been practicing martial arts and 18 years ago began his unique instructional program. Would-be Pro Martial Arts franchisees don’t need to have previous karate training or business ownership experience to implement Grandmaster Samane’s proven business model. The programs that franchisees offer help adults and children improve their overall health, confidence, fitness and self-awareness.

According to the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA), approximately one million people join some type of fitness club or facility each year, pushing membership figures to 41.3 million people nationwide and health/fitness gross revenue to $19 billion annually. With rising obesity rates and the increased interest in exercise programs that benefit mind-body wellness, the number of people enrolling in new fitness programs will likely increase. Pro Martial Arts franchisees will be well positioned to capitalize on these factors with a business that offers a fun alternative to traditional exercise workouts.
