The karate field I went to practice is actually not small. There are twenty or thirty Dojo in this tiny place in Europe, which is very powerful. It is also world-famous and excellent in this genre.
The internship price is 40 local currency a month (one class a week), and the per capita income is about 3000 to 4000. It should be considered super cheap, and the test tapes and the like are free. Dojo is scattered all over the country. Although the European railway is convenient, they are too lazy to go to the next city empty-handed, so it is enough for a Dojo to bear the rent for two hours a week, but the profit is very small. Thinking about it, it is estimated that clothing and protective gear will make some money, because people are required to have a set, which is still a good brand.
In addition, there are some profits. They often hold activities. For example, invite foreign teachers to give lectures, hold competitions, get together, live together (train) and so on. The fee is very small, and students can choose what they want to attend just like ordering food. Their games still use the season points system, that is, how many games are there a year, and how many registration fees are paid. The same is true of training. This kind of activity should be profitable if it can be controlled well.
If Wushu schools want to survive, it is difficult to have a broad market only by teaching a single Wushu. So this karate organization will also have courses in Muay Thai and Judo. The curator can teach karate and Muay Thai together, and some professional friends will give lectures and then give them a commission.
View of money. The shopkeeper's father was one of the earliest karate practitioners in Europe, so he thought he should inherit his father's career. The shopkeeper's wife is very supportive of her husband, so she runs her own beauty salon and finances her husband's karate hall. His coaches are all local tyrants, eating and wearing warm clothes and teaching empty-handed. Some people quit their formal jobs, thinking that they can make friends empty-handed, money doesn't matter, and they are content with poverty, but they are also complacent. So the overall atmosphere is the attitude that money is not important and everyone is happy together. Making money naturally is not so important.
As for that Chinese Wushu school, because it is located in the city center, the cost must be high, and their ability to earn money is better than karate, but I don't know how much money is left. It is highly valued by Chinese embassies and consulates, as well as coaches and plaques personally sent by our head of state. I think they are also excellent (in fact, I don't quite understand what the so-called excellent standard is).
The owner of the museum came to China to study boxing when he was young. He seriously studied the national standard martial arts, played textbook-style routines and received professional Sanda training. He is also very good at fighting. It is said that part of the start-up funds for opening the martial arts school came from the fighting money he earned. China Wushu is still very attractive to conservative Europeans. There are many kinds of martial arts in China, including Changquan, Nanquan, Bajiquan, Tai Ji Chuan, Wing Chun and various knives, guns and sticks. The owner of the museum recruited a group of martial arts coaches and had classes every day. In this way, the student flow has increased, and the tuition fee has naturally increased.
If there is a Sanda class, there will naturally be fighting enthusiasts, and Wushu schools will send people to participate in the competition, and there will also be bonuses, but this is basically just a subsidy, and it won't make much money. After all, there is no professional boxer. Others are the same as that karate hall, selling samurai clothes, props, protective gear and so on. They also have a freezer in the martial arts school. They also sell drinks and some martial arts CDs and books.
China Martial Arts Museum also has the function of promoting China culture. China Consulate will hold an event, and China students will be invited to participate. Of course, you will be paid. As long as you have money, you will almost go, which shows the importance of every sum of money. Besides martial arts performances, they also dance lions and dragons. Although they are all foreigners, they are also different.
Generally speaking, apart from professional boxing gymnasiums (mostly Muay Thai gymnasiums and boxing gymnasiums) that can survive by commercial competitions and the students who come here earn some profits (after all, the cost of training a professional boxer is amazing), this kind of Dojo, which exists as a hobby, needs to use its brains in all aspects to make profits. To sum up, there are three ways:
1, offer more different courses: for example, offer more other types of martial arts, which are divided into three classes: adults, teenagers and children.
2. Have more meetings and participate in more activities.
3. More selling points around the equipment
Basically similar to the domestic model. Therefore, it is not easy for foreign martial arts schools to make money. There are few practitioners and fierce competition. There are not many famous schools selling cabbage prices. In martial arts, people who seek truth from facts earn hard-earned money, which is the same everywhere.
There are also martial arts schools in China that earn a lot of money, but whether they feel at ease when they earn it is another matter.
Those great gods, the so-called famous teachers, must earn a lot if they don't play well.
There is also a naked example: the curator opened clubs in various schools through relationships, and ignored the teachers and desperately added more projects. As a result, all kinds of martial arts have been done, and now students, teachers and school leaders have no ability to distinguish, so students change every year and clothes and equipment are sold every year. In many clubs, the so-called coach is to go several times a semester to teach some basic movements. The cost of martial arts costumes is actually very low, but the price is not low. In fact, many martial arts schools rely on clothes. This is an unwritten rule in martial arts. Once it can be sold in bulk, the profit is absolutely high. Curators have also said on different occasions that they sell one car a year.
However, this curator is also very capable, using his own social resources to find profit points and make breakthroughs. This is the real skill and the result of market choice. The difference is that some martial arts schools attach importance to skills, and some martial arts schools make money naked.
