    Instructors and readers

    My name is Charles Ruth. I am an Instructor or a martial arts (Tae Kwon Do) school here in KY. My instructor helped me start my school that I teach at. Helped me find the building get my first students and so on. But now, in a few months I’m moving around Atlanta Ga. I need all the help and suggestion on how to start a school that I can find. Could any of you please help me out by sending me some suggestions and your thougths?

    Andy Murray Sadly passed away. Rest In Peace.

    There is probably a lot of 'food for thought' in the thread 'commercialisation'. I think Ghostsuit must have spelled this for Cooler, as it is a big word.

    All I would say Chazz, is that your enthusiasm is obvious. As long as your students always see that you love what you are doing, then you will succeed. Nothing else really matters. Just be yourself, and you will never let anyone down!

    Well you might want to subscribe to

    It's been pretty dead, but there's a lot in the archives and most questions usually get good answers.

    Also
    http://www.martialartsbusiness.com/mab/
    has some good stuff in the free sections.

    also has a lot of articles on running a school, the articles by Richard Hackworth should get you started

    http://masuccess.com
    is a magazine that has a few articles on line, I'm pretty sure it's free to subscribe as well. I get mine for free, but that might be because I give Century a lot of my money :)

    Mind if I ask what sort of school you're opening? Commercial, community center, YMCA, backyard, etc.

    *LOL* is all of the above included?
    Im wanting to find a place like i have now. I rin my school out of a gymnastics school. I run TKD classes on the nights they dont have classes. But i'll teach in any place that will let me. Why?

    Included in what?

    Setting up a commercial school is quite different than a small one out of someone elses place.

    A different question for everyone

    Hey members.
    Do any of you know where i can buy the orential (korean) name stamps. The stamps that have your name in korean that works as your signature. they are sometimes called "chops" or "toe-chung"

    There are usually ads in various magazines. Before you buy though, you should figure out what kind you want: the shape and size all have different implications in Korea. Additionally, if you want to have them "officially" recognized (legal), they must be registered in Korea (small fee).

    This is why my auto-locking suggestion in the feedback section would come in useful. :D
