That would be a good move on fred villaris part. How many even make it to black more or less 9th degree?

Hey red j, Is villari and the 7 dragons going to be in black belt next month?

Wellcome to the forum nasraani, One of my friends studys with grand master heroian. He was just promoted to 9th degree by grand master friend villari. I hear they are planing a big expansion in california so I give grand master armen a call. Best of luck to you.

No I dont, but I beleave he self promoted himself in my opinion. I cant find anything on the web where he got it.

Welcome to the forum offduty ninja, Ask master prosch why grandmaster fred villari is not in the black belt manual? He promoted mattera from yellow to 7th black. Why dont they teach the real history? Is it beacause you can own a fred villari dojo 100% for $40,000? https://www.villarisonline.com https://www.shaolinkempo.com And they dont want you to know about it? Also ask him why you cant own a ussd school 100% anymore? Are they greedy?

That makes alot more sense then paying some outrageous franchise fee. Yes I think it's $125,000 for a USSD dojo? It will probabley be only $10,000 to get my dojo started. $1,500 first months rent. $1,500 last months rent. $1,500 deposit. $1,000- $500 for mats. $500 for gi's and patchs. $100 for phone.

Yes you are right.If you teach a mix style you will have more people train with you and you will be a better fighter.

Who is master dave leynton? What school did he run? He was the head master of the utah area a few years back. He was a 7th dan.

At USSD, I beleave you have to give 33% of the profit to them.

Too true.Iam going to start off small and build my school up before I get a a large space. As for advertising I know how ussd did it. So I'll make alot more money because the money will go in my pocket(not theirs).

When I open my school I am going to invite different masters to the dojo and teach a mixed martial art, not just shaolin kempo.

I dont know why these people open schools with mc dojos? You would make more money on your own then with a mc dojo. $100 a month for classes for 100 students= $10,000 a month. Thats 120,000 a year

What do you meen you didn't get a good feel for the school culture?

jwluiza, Was the instructor on the east coast or west? If the east then he should know the whole story.

Hey jwluiza, How much are the classes? What did you like about? What did you not like about it? What degree of black belt was the instructor and how long has he been training? I notice alot of instructors are pushed threw the ranks to run schools. Did the instructor know charles mattera was with grand master fred villari before he went on his own.
