The “Traditionalists” will rail against the “entrepreneurs” that the Martial Arts shouldn’t be all about the “money”, and should ONLY be about the students. Also, that charging more than $50 per month is a sacrilege, asking a student to commit to a term agreement is unethical, and that producing a profit in your business somehow violates the “real tradition” of the Martial Arts.
The reality of the Martial Arts Business is that Tradition and “Business” are absolutely NOT at odds with each other!
Let’s first keep in mind that the TRUE “tradition” of virtually ever martial art is that it’s teaching was reserved for the military, who in almost all cases were the young aristocrats/nobles (meaning wealthy).
These aristocratic families had the resources (meaning money) to finance the training, weapons, facilities, and instructors for the army/defense.
In today’s world, those schools who provide more VALUABLE service to it’s students, do in fact DESERVE to earn more money.
