SPEND A WEEK WITH US — BUILD YOUR MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL FOR 2026
Five Days. One Hour Per Day. Real Coaching. Real Results.
Join Hakan & Mark for a week of focused, high-impact training designed to give you the exact plan, systems, and momentum you need to make 2026 your school’s biggest year ever.
“Here’s what this week will mean for you. Why we created it. And exactly what you’ll walk away with.”
Why This Week Matters
Every school owner wants growth, structure, stability, and freedom.
But most feel:
Stuck at the same student count
Overwhelmed by putting out day-to-day fires
Unsure what to fix first
Constantly rebuilding systems
Teaching too many classes
Running the school without a clear roadmap
This is why we created the Spend a Week With Us Challenge.
In five days, you’ll gain the clarity, systems, and confidence you need to step into 2026 prepared and in control.
This isn’t theory. It’s the blueprint we use inside 7-figure martial arts academies — including the Australian Martial Arts Academy — and with dozens of schools we coach.
What You'll Walk Away With
By the end of the five days, you’ll have:
> A complete 2026 growth roadmap
> A predictable sales script that will convert
> A retention strategy that keeps students longer
> A staff development pathway your team can follow
> A clear upgrade strategy (BBC, Masters, Weapons,)
> A step-by-step action plan with dates, tasks, and accountability
Clarity replaces confusion. Momentum replaces stagnation. Systems replace stress.
The 5-Day Breakdown
Here’s exactly what we’re covering:
MONDAY 8 DECEMBER, 2–3 PM
Sales: “How to Convert 20+ New Students Each Month — Without Discounts”
You’ll learn the exact sales systems that consistently bring families through your doors with
higher conversion rates and no race-to-the-bottom tactics.
What we’ll cover:
The sales script that works every time
How to handle objections (price, schedule, confidence, commitment)
Why discounts destroy your positioning — and what to do instead
Follow-up systems that convert cold leads into warm sign-ups
The structure of a perfect trial experience
Walk away with a sales process you can plug in instantly.
TUESDAY 9 DECEMBER, 2–3 PM
Teams & Instructor Development: “How to Build an Instructor Pathway for Growth”
If you want true scalability, you need bench strength, a roadmap for your team, and a standards-driven culture.
You’ll learn:
How top schools build their instructor teams
The exact Instructor Pathway (from helper to leader)
How to recruit, train, and retain great people
How to create team accountability & KPIs
How to reduce your teaching load without sacrificing quality
You cannot grow without people — this day shows you how to build them.
WEDNESDAY 10 DECEMBER, 2–3 PM
Smart Timetabling: “The Game-Changing Scheduling System Top Schools Use”
A timetable can grow your school — or suffocate it. Your schedule determines your success.
Most school owners create timetables based on convenience… not strategy.
You will learn how to:
Design a timetable engineered for growth
Capture more of your local market with better time slots
Maximise student flow and minimise empty classes
Build a scalable timetable that grows with your school
Increase enrolments by offering exactly what the customer needs
This is the system that made over 10 schools enrolment numbers explode.
THURSDAY 11 DECEMBER, 2–3 PM
Holds, Cancels & “We Miss You”: “Retention Systems That Keep Students Longer”
Most cancellations are preventable — if you have the right scripts and processes.
You’ll learn:
The “We Miss You” retention script
How to prevent cancellations before they happen
The difference between reactive vs proactive retention
Student/parent relationship systems that build loyalty
How to use data to stop membership leaks
Retention is the easiest revenue you’ll ever generate — this session makes it simple.
FRIDAY 12 DECEMBER, 2–3 PM
Events & Your 2026 Roadmap: The Complete Plan for Growth, Community & Referrals
Events are one of the most underutilised growth levers in martial arts schools.
We’ll show you:
High-converting events that build community AND revenue
Events that give your instructors more teaching opportunities
How to create referral-heavy in-house events
A full events calendar for your 2026 year
The final step-by-step roadmap for your 2026 plan
This is where everything comes together. You finish the week with a complete 2026 blueprint.
