Why Martial Arts?
Karate (or kara te, meaning "empty hand") is a
centuries-old means of self-defense that uses all parts of the body
to their maximum advantage. But more than simply dynamic body
movements, karate is the ability to coordinate mind over body,
allowing the unleashing of tremendous mental and physical power at
will, no matter what your size or strength.
Karate was first taught in the United States in
1955. Since then, hundreds of thousands of people have been
introduced to its many benefits... but that barely scratches the
surface of the opportunity Mile High Karate presents in America
today.
As a Mile High Karate franchisee, you'll be part
of the $10.6 billion health and fitness facility industry, a
category that has grown to 30 million individual participants in
the U.S. alone.1 The U.S. Martial Arts Association estimates that
just 6 million people have experienced the martial arts in one form
or another... barely 2 percent of the population. That means
enormous opportunity for growth, especially given the increased
interest in finding new and better ways for Americans to attain
better health. Many of our nation's schools have not made physical
education a priority, despite evidence suggesting that U.S.
students should be exercising more. A recent report from the
National Association for Sport and Physical Education concluded
that schools in most states "are not living up to
recommendations... to require daily, quality physical education for
all students".2 Armed with this knowledge, today's parents are
seeking worthy, effective programs to enhance their child's
physical development... the kind of programs that Mile High Karate
can provide.
I hope that you will consider exploring this
opportunity if you are ready to plunge into an exciting new career
that combines community impact and an incredible amount of
fun.
