Are Martial Arts Franchises Creating a McDojo Atmosphere and Cheapening Martial Arts?

COLUMBIA, S.C. - July 18, 2013 - PRLog -- Not this franchise…..One franchise specifically - the Kumite Fightclub’s main objective is “making people better for life”, so what does that truly mean.

If one were to go to a dojo or martial arts school what would one truly get from learning martial arts? The majority of schools across America teach a strict martial arts program, mixed martial arts or an element of what has come to be known as sport martial arts. Dexter Kennedy, President and owner of the Kumite Fightclub and National Martial Arts League Franchises started taking lessons in 1974 shortly after Bruce Lee’s “The Big Boss” hit the screen. Twelve years later in 1986 he received his black belt, his first instructor was a black belt that had a small role in the movie Black Belt Jones starring Jim Kelly, after two classes of instruction Mr. Kennedy was able to beat him sparring, he left that school and went to a school where he was beaten by a 10 year old kid (Robert Blizzard). He was 16 at the time. Mr. Kennedy received his black belt in 1986 from Columbia, SC’s first nationally rated black belt (Mike Genova) and a hall of famer (Keith Vitali), whose name is listed on the same page as Bruce Lee in the black belt hall of fame. So he has a little bit of knowledge and understanding of the martial arts and its challenges.

Although the Kumite Fightclub and National Martial Arts League are selling dojo franchises we feel strongly that it is not necessary for a person to know martial arts to own a school. There are over 40,000 schools in the United States with a 40-60% turnover rate. Not all students make it to black belt and not all of those that make it to black belt want to own a school. But of those that do. How many want to open a school? How many can get the funding needed to open a successful martial arts school? Most of the black belts that Mr. Kennedy knows want to open a school but because they have bills to pay, they have to work and run their business simultaneously. Therefore, they may rent or share space with a dance studio or their local recreation center and try to grow their schools over time which can take years to build a successful business that will allow them to live off of their business. The Kumite Fightclub and National Martial Arts League Franchises dojo strategy for success pairs a business owner, a person knowledgeable of business along with a team of knowledgeable martial artists to run and execute programs that resolve and combat community issues making the school a valuable resource to the community in which it resides. These franchises take on America’s top ten issues and provide customized classes from the inventory of martial arts techniques and systems to allow patrons to select which class or classes they feel are needed to meet their needs. Thereby allowing martial arts schools to better serve their customers and reduce the high turnover rate.

In addition, the National Martial Arts League Franchise is listed on the Franchise Registry which provides the opportunity for all Kumite Fightclub and National Martial Arts League Franchisees to have 85% of their loan guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. Their franchise model also includes an approved business plan, the opportunity to draw a salary as they grow the franchise and a 401K retirement program for owners and school instructors. The Franchise also offers as much as 50% discount on all franchise offerings to veterans.

If you have ever been interested in owning your own business or your own martial arts business but have never been financially able to move forward, maybe you should consider owning a National Martial Arts League dojo franchise, otherwise known as a Kumite Fightclub.
