Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for. I hear of "system driven" but never knew what it means to apply it for my martial art school.
Bill Henderson (Canada)

I received your "Systems Driven School" book and I am blown away!
I have realized long ago that for my school to thrive I must have the right operating systems in place but the process for developing them seemed too big and overwhelming to tackle. I looked into enrolling in a well-known course that taught how to do it, but the cost (tens of thousands of dollars) was prohibitive. Then along came your book. It is the easiest, yet most in-depth book I have seen on the subject of business systems, and the ONLY book specific to designing systems for a martial arts school. Your book takes the enormous process of designing an efficient, professional and profitable school and breaks it down into simple, easily managable tasks. The final result is an ultra-efficient school designed according to MY personal vision of what a perfect school is. Thank you for writing this much needed book!

Dear Sir
I like what I see on the DVD your first one on hand grabs was excellent.
In my 20 years as a student of Hapkido no instructor has ever taught hand grabs. Your arm bar , wrist grabs and drills are good. I am having fun in my students are having fun learning the above mentioned.
The curriculum based is good, there is a rhyme and reason instead of at random or as an instructor whatever comes across to there mind.
The hand drills that you incorporate are great and fun to play with it really develops everyone's eye hand coordination and they feel proud of themselves this is a great thing. Looking forward to seeing more of your work on DVD. Thank you for the bonus.

Sincerely Jim Andrews

Many people ask me how I get to travel so much and run a big school ?
The answer is simple.
Mr Fariborz provided me with all I need in order for my school to be self running, after all the business works for me not the other way round.
You want to be a slave to your business then do nothing,want to have a "life"
Then buy the " system driven School". Hard choice but make it today.

Dear Mr. Fariborz,

Seasons' Greetings to you and your loved ones.

As you may recall, we met at the MAIA Supershow in Las Vegas (May 2004), and along with the wealth of knowledge I gained from the various seminars and fellow martial arts entrepreneurs I met there, I somehow feel that meeting you was one of the highlights of my wife and I's attendance of this event. Your "How to Create a System-Driven Martial Art School" manual, your way of thinking, and your philosophies inspired me deeply. I never thought that such a left-brained, objective concept such as a systems-driven school could be so powerful and profound in its impact on my school and me. It was one of those special moments when you realize that somehow, someway, you will never be the same as before.

As promised, I am sharing a more concrete follow-up of my progress based on applying the various strategies I learned from you and I'm pleased to share with you the tangible and intangible results of the past year and a half since we met:

Tangible rewards

> my wife and I made the leap from a part-time school and opened our full-time, full-fledged Black Belt Excellence Martial Arts Academy

> our student membership grew from 120 to 200 in the first six months of operation, based on our newly-designed, systems-driven 5-Step Admissions Process

> I took 1.5 years to finally upgrade and author a brand new systems-driven curriculum (see attached Taekwon-Do-Curriculum-Textbook sample)

> we upgraded our systems-driven web site (online resource centres - currently under development)

> thanks to our academy being more efficient and effective, we are now able to compensate a staff of instructors to help us with the teaching of our classes and programs, thus continuing the cycle of improvement and growth

Intangible Rewards

My wife Amelia and I are expecting our first child in early March 2006. Now that we have implemented many of these systems at our academy, we feel confident that we will be able to spend more time with our family and experience less stress and more peace and joy when running our academy and teaching classes, than we would have, had we not implemented various systems for ourselves and our staff.

We also feel that we provide professional services and a high quality product for our community, and this is very fulfilling.

Thank you for your mentorship and inspiration in helping us achieve our goals and realize our dreams.

Respectfully,

Phil and Amelia Nguyen
Owners, Black Belt Excellence Martial Arts Academy

The Complete Karate Birthday Party Operational Manual
" Many times schools spend between $200.00 to $500.00 on print advertising that can be a total gamble. The time for conventional advertising has ended. As a school owner you must have alternative Gorilla Marketing campaign such as birthday parties to generate new clients. The public has become more aware of what is out there and fancy gimmicks and flyers are not doing the job anymore. You must establish a personal relationship with people and educate them on the values of martial arts and your school. Birthday parties are the perfect way to do this. "

"What a great resource for our staff to use. It is easy to follow and very complete. The way it is organinized is sure to do two things, first make the birthday party memorable. Second, to feed new enrollments using an effective system that pays you for you time and effort."
Christopher Rappold

"I think you have done a good job of putting this together. I appreciate you making it available to other school owners. I listened to your presentation on the NAPMA tape and was going to go back and try to write down everything you said. You saved me a lot time by producing the manual. We are planning on implementing your system right away."
Stan Shields ATA Family Martial Arts

Thank you for creating a systemized birthday manual. I highly recommend this to any serious school owner. The birthday party is often an overlooked tool for creating new students and helping with student retention. This manual is a turnkey process that can be easily taught to your staff. I especially enjoyed the detailed checklist that you have included. Your ideas on creating value of the birthday party have proven to most effective in the school.
Mark Cox (Chatsworth, CA)

I received the Karate Birthday Party Manual a few days ago. It is very detailed and complete. You have produced another great product which I would recommend to any school owner...I have always thought that your work was excellent.
Jim Clapp American Karate Studios

Thank you very much for shipping the items so quickly. I am very impressed with your expediency in delivery and with the information contained in the manual. All in all, I am very happy with the material sent and feel that my investment was well worth it.
Edd Abasolo

I have gone through it more thoroughly and I am very happy with it. What I will be doing is making a copy and then extensively editing it to create a "Birthday Party Manual" for our school.
Neil Tyra

I finished reading through the manual. This is excellent information for any instructor that teaches children. I highly recommend it to anyone that is interested in increasing the revenue at their school. Thank you!
Jeff McLaughlin

We wanted to tell you your Karate Birthday Party manual is just brilliant. I was not a big fan of Birthday parties as we felt they were 'Too Hard' and 'Too time consuming', boy has our thinking changed!. As a professional school owner we have to maximise the use of floor space in downtimes as well as constantly using in house marketing systems to generate new members. Your manual serves to do all that by helping us to run birthday parties like never before, we now love them and the results reflect our new found enthusiasm. I cannot thank or recommend your manual enough infact I would love to be your agent in Australia!
Fari Salievski

This Karate Birthday Planner is a must for any school that is seeking a way to bring in very low cost referrals and additional income. The manual is very easy to follow and contains everything you need to know about setting up this program in your school.
Cliff Lenderman

Mr. Fariborz,
I found your Birthday party manual very informative, and now having parties at my school. They have been very successful, and I have received much positive feedback from these parties.

Also, I was very impressed with the information you provided us at the Super Show in Vegas. Thank you for your contribution to our profession.

Sincerely,
