National Martial Arts Business Association Helps Members Crush Recession With Business Seminar!
NAPMA, the National Association of Professional Martial Artists, the business trade association for martial arts schools, Martial Arts School owners, and professional martial arts instructors is hosting the 2010 NAPMA “Extreme Success Academy”, featuring top industry expert speakers, and the world renown business and entrepreneurial expert Mr. Brian Tracy!
Some seminars, events, conferences and shows are a bit like Chinese food…you like it while you eat it, but you’re hungry half an hour later, feeling deflated and unsatisfied.
Members have been telling us for years, that they truly enjoyed the past “World Conferences” and Big Live Events like it, BUT they wished that there was an event that had more “Meat on the Bone”. More “Nuts and Bolts” of HOW to fill their school with new students, HOW to Increase Student Quality, and HOW to Drive better financial results!
In fact, MANY owners are telling us that they take copious notes during the sessions, but then as soon as they get back to their schools, they can’t make “heads of tails” of them, or are missing a KEY component of the idea that makes it almost valueless, and difficult to implement! I certainly understand how frustrating this can be, it happens to me pretty often as well!
Well, we’ve listened, and now, we’ve now ANSWERED! (and in Spades too!!)
We’ve identified 10 Key Trends in the Martial Arts Industry that are DRIVING schools all over the country to pinnacles of performance previously unheard of even in these “uncertain” economic times!
We’ve sought out and perused many of the TOP EXPERTS in these Key Areas, and have recruited them to bring their unique perspective and knowledge to our members ONLY!
I’ve got to tell you, this was no easy feat!
We’ve scoured the Martial Arts Industry, and found school owners who are Blazing the Trail for the Martial Arts Profession, and, we’ve gone far outside our “small little industry” to bring to you world class authorities in these key areas that you’ll NEED to blast past the competition in 2011!
We’ve also persuaded many of them to make available to you some PHENOMENAL educational resources that you will be able to benefit from FAR beyond the time you spend at the Academy! No more banging your head against the wall after returning to your school, for lack of a crucial detail or key component to implement a new system or strategy!

In fact, by framing your program appropriately, and TRULY understanding your customer, you’ll find ENORMOUS profits, and opportunity.
Reason #2: Marketing to the Mass Affluent, How to “Speak” Their Language!
NAPMA Chief Operating Officer Toby Milroy
With a “difficult” economy, it’s VITAL to target a segment of the market who has the ability to pay for your services. The trick is, people with high level incomes often have VERY different wants, needs, and desires, and need to be “Spoken to” differently than the “average” person.
Toby will reveal the “beliefs” and “thinking” of this valuable market segment, and help you attract these families into your school. It’s important for you to DEEPLY understand these students and families, and be able to “Connect” with them on a deep, meaningful level.
Once you learn their “vocabulary”, and buying habits, you’ll have the ability to attract at will, and enroll the most stable, valuable, and productive clients and students.

A Life in Aikido: The Biography of Founder Morihei Ueshiba $35 The history of Japan’s martial traditions is replete with many outstanding individuals, but few have attained the legendary status of Morihei Ueshiba. Throughout his extraordinary life, Ueshiba mastered an array of martial arts and techniques, including jujutsu and kendo, and endlessly devoted himself to the philosophies of Japan’s martial schools. He also had a deep knowledge of the practice of Shinto. Refining these traditions into a wholly new system, he founded Aikido—the way of harmony. Aikido goes far beyond simple methods of attack or self-defense, seeking to dispel aggression by creating a sense of oneness, thus ultimately promoting peace. Through its unique aspect of both preserving the heritage of the classical fighting arts and applying them within the context of contemporary society, Aikido has quickly become one of the most respected martial arts in the world.In this engaging and compelling biography, the Founder’s son Kissomaru Ueshiba (the second Aikido Doshu) details the life of this remarkable man, from his early years as a youth in the turbulent Meiji era to his death in 1969. Incorporating many first-hand accounts and anecdotes as well as historical documents, the author weaves a fascinating narrative of the Founder’s life, and with great fondness tells of his own memories of the man who would come to be known as O Sensei—great master.Ueshiba reveals much about the character and temperament of his father, painting a picture of a man of formidable commitment and spirituality, in both his practice of Aikido and his message of peace. Indeed, his dedication to his art was so strong that through his techniques he was able to attain kami-waza; an ability that transcends the human and reaches the divine. This book will appeal to any reader with an interest in the life of Morihei Ueshiba and a desire to discover the real person behind the legend. |

Bodywork Shiatsu: Bringing the Art of Finger Pressure to the Massage Table $24.95 For the first time, an expert in the Asian art of finger-pressure massage shifts the practice of shiatsu from the floor to the massage table–increasing the comfort of the patient, conserving the energy of the therapist, and augmenting the effects of the treatment. Skillfully integrating current Western scientific research with traditional energetic concepts and techniques of shiatsu, Carl Dubistsky provides a new perspective on this ancient healing art. His analysis of the muscular anatomy of the points and pathways is unique in Western literature, making shiatsu techniques more accessible and comprehensible to health professionals and bodyworkers of all schools. BodyWork Shiatsu grounds its discussion of shiatsu in a thorough review of traditional Asian medical theory, explaining the concepts of yin and yang, the five elements, and the flow of life energy, qi, along with the meridians of the body. These concepts form the basis of the health professional’s approach to examination and treatment. The heart of the book contains detailed instructions in applying shiatsu to the massage table–from basic finger technique to choosing equipment–with specific recommendations for treating each part of the body. The fruit of the author’s many years of immersion in both Eastern and Western systems of massage, BodyWork Shiatsu is an invaluable aid to all those interested in advanced applications of shiatsu as well as those wishing to incorporate basic principles of finger-pressure massage into their health-care practice. Director of the Healthsprings Clinic in Boulder, Colorado, Carl Dubitsky has studied and practiced shiatsu, Amma, and martial arts massage for more than 20 years under such widely known Asian masters as Koichi Nakamura, Eizo Ninomiya, DoAnn T. Kaneko, and Soo Se Cho, in addition to studies at the Swedish Institute for Medical Massage in New York City and advanced work with Owen James, an original student of Ida Rolf. He is |

Dai Nippon Butoku Kai (DNBK) (Greater Japan Martial Virtue Society) is a Japanese martial arts organization established in 1895 in Kyoto, Japan, under the authority of the Ministry of Education and sanction of the Emperor Meiji. Its purpose, at that time, was to standardize martial disciplines and systems throughout Japan. This was the first official martial arts organization sanctioned by the government of Japan.

Shindō jinen-ryū (Shindō jinen-ryū) is one of the six original karate schools, or ryū, recognized by the DNBK in the early 1930s.

Essence of Ninjutsu $7.63 Looking back almost 1,000 years, the mists of Japan’s chaotic past shroud the development of a way of life, an ancient struggle waged against fierce feudal lords who ruled the island nation with swords of steel and a code of death before dishonor. The people of the mountainous regions of what is now Iga prefecture wanted to live in peace, but their lords had other plans-so the people learned the martial arts of self-defense and used their meager farm tools as weapons against the samurai blades of their oppressors. Nine traditions of the ninja arts grew out of this seemingly endless struggle, and legends were told of the supernatural abilities of the ninja fighters. The ninja never gained the kind of power that topples tyrants, but they gained a reputation that made tyrants cautious. And they gained the kind of power that makes the spirit endure and the mind the master of its fate. Told in actual stories of past grandmasters and in dojo lectures on techniques-with photographs, drawings, and paintings-the last surviving grandmaster of the ancient art of ninjutsu, Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, presents Essence of Ninjutsu: The Nine Traditions. In it, he explains why, after more than 900 years, the art of the shadow warriors continues to inspire and serve practitioners from around the world. Dr. Hatsumi’s book contains historic ninja scrolls and describes techniques for self-defense, and it debunks tricks that are attributed to the ninja but actually derive more from the circus than the martial arts. Essence of Ninjutsu is a fascinating, authoritative look at the roots of ninjutsu and how it continues to enrich the lives of its practitioners today. Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi isa bone doctor, artist, and writer, as well as the 34th grandmaster of the nine schools of the ninja arts in Japan. He has toured the United States in recent years to help Americans better understand the ninja and their way of life. His articles have appeared in all of the major martial |
