It does look more pure kung fu shaolin then charles matteras ussd or fred villaris. They both do trips to china but they dont teach that at there dojos at least when I was there.
Hey did anyone goto the fred villari seminar last weekend? He promoted 4 people to 9th and 3 people to 8th.
Please do not cross post - please check the Terms of Service you agreed to when you joined the forum There is no harm at all setting up a new thread on this matter alone - please bear that in mind in future. Not now though!! Many thanks
The specific USSD dojo was good about 4 ½ to 5 years to back belt, it was $125 a month back then that was for four hours (seven for the blue belts and up) plus one private lesson per week. That instructor, (who is no longer there) would also work with any students who came by pretty much as much as you wished.
In the late 90s things changed. Scoot woods left and went back to fred villaris then later went on his own. Ussd then made it so you couldn't own your dojo 100% If I still taught karate I would go with villaris because you can own your dojo 100% for $30,000 to $40,000 unlike matteras ussd $135,000 for something like 33%
When grandmaster fred villari takes over go and talk to one of your old instructors and see what they can do for you. www.villarisonline.com
What a rip-off. Our deal offers 100% ownership of your school with a fixed monthly franchise fee, no minimum sales, etc... it's amazing what people will sign up for. it really goes to show, if you demand an insanely high price for something, a good percentage of people will take that to mean it is worth that much.
Yeah people belive any thing you tell them with out doing the research first.] How do they expect to get their 200 k back? I mean you only get half the profits it will take 50 years just to break even. How many schools do you guys have?
We have 2 open now, had 4 at one time. We have 2 guys who will open school in 07, and 3 more in training to open schools at a later date (I am one of these).
sorry, I meant 2 new schools will be opening. One that shut down was before I was with the organization so I don't know why. The other, was financial. The guy running it was a good MA but not very good at running a business, he couldn't pay his bills, and so had to close his doors. I was a student there... When his wife got pregnant I think the financials just got to be too much and he needed a more secure income.
Crappy style=Crappy instructors Your right not all Ussd schools are full of money hungry instructors but its getting worse each year.
One of the things I learned in their Instructors College: You are a salesman first, then an instructor.
Same here . After first month try to upgrade the student to double privates (god only knows how much that is now) Don't tell the stundents how old you are, talk up the company and how great it is that you work for USSD 300 a week for 50+ hours. Yeah their the best martial arts company out there aren't they? They are really sharing the magic of the martial arts?
