Each episode brings you proven strategies to grow your martial arts school and amplify your impact. Backed by EFCs decades of supporting the world’s most successful martial arts schools, we’re sharing practical solutions you can use right away, because the rising tide lifts all boats. Let’s raise the standard together.
For this month’s coaching call, we have Hanshi Dave Kovar and Grandmaster Farshad Azad of Azad’s Martial Arts Center sharing how to turn summer from your slowest season into one of your strongest.
Some takeaways: Hanshi’s Super Summer Series for keeping current students engaged, vacation tracking to cut quits and holds before they happen, and morning class slots that catch kids before they hit the pool. Farshad breaks down his half-day camp model—themed weeks like Nerf, Ninja, and Gladiator, college students on staff so your team doesn’t burn out, and a tiered pricing structure that fills the room early.
The bottom line: stop treating summer like something to survive. The schools that lean in come out of August stronger than they went in.
