    Yes the price will be cheaper. Around $80 a month. Privates will be $125.

    We are bringing another martial arts style in all the schools.

    Mattera schools seem more focused on money than the art.
    You can't own a ussd school 100%.
    It's $250,000 for like 30%


    At Villaris we are more focused on teaching and making sure the instructor knows the art before we throw him in a school.

    Plus you can own a Villaris school 100% for $45,000.

    Now tell me who's the greedy one?

    Um...well...that one is a serious no brainer :D .

    the Villari agreement is considerably more than what I paid for in 2000. However, it's a license agreement. That's one thing that is interesting. You are just using their name and logo. Anything after that is up to you on where you get supplies and everything else. With USSD, from what I remember, you have to use their billing company...their supply store...their accountant...their marketing strategies...getting your money away from your school.

    Gufball, are those companies that you listed also owned, directly or indirectly, by USSD?

    Anyways, everytime I see this thread I laugh because I am surrounded by SUV's wrapped in USSD graphics and instructors' cars with license plates and vinyl promoting USSD.

    All owned directly by USSD. PM me and I'll even give you the names. Those SUV's and such are used to get tax write offs...lord knows you need them after being 1099'd.

    Meanwhile...have you seen the USSD remakes Tak Wah Eng's forms thread? The people in there are Jack Turner, Deric Terrell, Bill Sampson and Mike Millard.

    Gufball, I can't PM you yet because of my post count. Stupid spammers ruin it for everybody :(

    But other than the accountant, I know the names of the billing company (I think you told me on another board) and the name of the product supplier. As far as any financial failings USSD may have, it really doesn't show here in Vegas, and I know Reno had an massive explosion of schools. If there are any juicy tidbits you'd like to share, you can get me at kosherkid(at)lycos.com

    Yeah, I saw the forms on youtube a while ago, even their golden boy Ryan Lloyd doing the drunken sword form. I still remember being at the headquarters for a friday morning workout when they announced the deal with Tak Wah.
