This past weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to attend The Relentless Martial Arts Summit with Wade McCoig and Nick Blanc. The event was designed to help martial arts school owners not only sharpen their physical training but also refine their business strategies. Over the course of the summit, we gained valuable skills and knowledge that we’re excited to bring back to Results Martial Arts, enhancing our school, our brand, and the experience we offer our students.
Physical Training Highlights
The physical training at the summit was led by some of the most accomplished names in martial arts and combat sports:
Ross Levine, a world champion kickboxer known for his precision striking and dominance in competition, led us through advanced striking techniques that focused on speed, accuracy, and explosive power. His insights into high-level competition provided us with drills and skills we can pass on to our students.
Jadi Tention, one of the most respected names in point fighting, shared his mastery of timing, strategy, and control in sparring. His approach to point fighting reminded us how critical timing and movement are in developing a well-rounded martial artist.
Jarod Cannonier, a UFC fighter currently competing in the middleweight division, took us through techniques that combine precision with raw power. Having trained at the highest levels of MMA, Jarod's sessions were invaluable for understanding how martial arts translate into real-world scenarios, from professional competition to self-defense.
Randy Steinke, another highly skilled martial artist, added depth to the training by focusing on practical, real-world applications of martial arts. His methods emphasized efficiency and effectiveness in combat, making his sessions both practical and accessible for our students at Results Martial Arts.
Business Strategy and Video Production Insights
The summit also provided extensive training on how to grow a martial arts school from a business standpoint. The speakers were industry leaders who shared actionable strategies on everything from marketing and management to video production—an area that’s becoming increasingly important in today’s digital age.
Adam Kifer, a martial arts business expert, emphasized the importance of building systems for predictable growth. He taught us how to structure our operations so that our school can grow steadily while maintaining the high quality of instruction that our students expect.
Kelly Murry guided us through the best practices in school management. She explained how delivering an exceptional student experience goes hand-in-hand with creating a strong, supportive community, which is a key element of what makes Results Martial Arts so special.
Jason Fladlien, a world-class marketing expert, shared cutting-edge techniques for promoting our martial arts school. His presentation highlighted how to effectively position our brand in a crowded market and attract new students through digital and traditional marketing strategies.
Brady Edwards, who previously worked with Mr. Beast, the YouTube sensation known for his viral videos, led an eye-opening session on how to create better video content. He stressed the importance of storytelling and engagement in video production, offering tips on how to create compelling, high-quality videos that not only promote our school but also resonate with our target audience. This is an exciting area we plan to explore more at Results Martial Arts to reach a broader audience and build our online presence.
Takeaways for Results Martial Arts
Attending The Relentless Martial Arts Summit was an incredible learning experience. It reinforced our belief that martial arts is about more than just physical training; it’s about creating a lasting impact on students' lives. The combination of expert-level instruction from fighters like Jarod Cannonier and marketing insights from industry leaders like Brady Edwards has equipped us with the tools to not only improve the skills of our students but also expand our reach and enhance our school’s operations.
As we bring back everything we’ve learned, our focus will be on improving the overall experience at Results Martial Arts—from the techniques we teach on the mat to how we present ourselves online and in the community. Our goal is to continue empowering students of all ages with the discipline, confidence, and skills that martial arts provides, while also growing as a business to serve more families in our community.
