angus88 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I'm not 100% sure of what you're asking. It seems to me that if you open up your own school, make it a good one that lasts a number of years and gains your school and consequently, name, a reputation, then if you decide to franchise out your school, you might have some takers. The question you have yo ask yourself as a business owner is, what would make you invest in a franchise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Do a business studies course on opening your own business. You will need to look around and get a number of instructors to help you you may want to teach all different styles with yourself just doing the kung fu element The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline.

Anbu Alex Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 most ppl start their own franchises in Martial Arts because they did something amazing like won lots of tournaments or was in a movie White belt for life"Destroy the enemies power but leave his life" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shogeri Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Read up on starting your own dojo or martial art school.If you can think of a catchy phrase that's great!If you include the phrase 'Martial Arts' then be sure to teach or offer, both kung fu AND karate. Or Taijiquan (the martial type not geriatric) along with karate, and or external kung fu. Or perhaps judo or jujutsu along with some other MA system.Just some thoughts...Good Luck!

Aodhan Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 The main reason that people purchase a franchise, as opposed to opening their own independant business is the advantages that a franchise situation has re: advertising, etc.McDonalds are all franchises. They pay the franchise fee, operate according to directions from the HQ, they have their advertising paid for, central ordering, etc etc.So, if you want to start a martial arts franchise, you need to figure out what advantage to your franchisee's will be, and go from there.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorinryu Sensei Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Actually, Step one needs to be...train in the system that you want to teach for the franchise. For example, you mentioned Tracy kenpo. You're not currently training in that system...right? So how are you going to open a Tracy kenpo school...and not know a thing about Tracy kenpo?As for the other guy, Parker Lee..what system does he do? Are you training in that system currently?

ovine king Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 what is it that you want?do you want to open a school that is successful and has the capability to be sold out as a franchise?orbuy a franchise and run it?generally, in both cases, my advice is to educate yourself first. earth is the asylum of the universe where the inmates have taken over.don't ask stupid questions and you won't get stupid answers.
