Due to a never ending rent increase Kung Fu USA has join forces with a wrestling, boxing and soon to be a MMA school.
It all started when I walked into a huge complex that just opened up in my neighborhood and struck up a conversation with the owner who happens to be the only wrestling school in WNY. After a great hour conversation he asked if I wanted to join forces and become the first multi fighting academy in this area. I was thrilled, this school is huge, half a plaza with 4 olympic rings, boxing ring and soon to have an octogan, everything is brand new showers, locker room, weight room etc etc.
all the students can partake in any or all of the programs for one price.
I am very excited about this but was wondering what others have to say.
Is the small 1 style school a thing of the past? can you be traditional and still make profits year after year when so many people are flooding to MMA schools. Am I selling out, joining the band wagon or changing with the times? I will still teach 8 step and my ciriculum will not change but I will have the opportunity to reach other that might not have an interest in kung fu with over 150 wrestling students. so what are your thoughts? thanks in advance
