4.0 out of 5 stars Good information, October 19, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Martial Arts Game: A New Business, Teaching & Coaching Model For The 21st Century Martial Arts-Life® Coach (Paperback)
I'd say overall a pretty decent book. It's kinda open ended because he doesn't want to tell you how to run your business. I agree with the concept of treating your students like clients and identifying what it is that brings them there (then working on accomplishing those goals). But I'm not convinced that the smaller, higher priced, semi-private classes is the best answer. I can teach 200 the same way I can teach 5 as long as they're in line going through the class with me. But they're not going to get 1 on 1 attention to the same level as a smaller client base. So if that's something you want to include in your school, personal 1 on 1 focus, identifying, setting, and achieving goals with each client, I'd say he's going about it in a reasonable way. I just think you can accomplish the same thing with private lessons. So like I said, good book, not sure I agree with everything.

5.0 out of 5 stars All Meat, No Fat, June 4, 2008
By Nathan Wagar (U.S. Army, Iraq) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Martial Arts Game: A New Business, Teaching & Coaching Model For The 21st Century Martial Arts-Life® Coach (Paperback)
This book focuses on what really needs to be changed if you are considering operating your own martial arts studio. It outlines what the old method was, why it is no longer effective in meeting the needs of today's clients, and how to make the changes necessary to provide a positive training environment that will also be successful as a business venture. If you want to make a living doing what you love, this book is NECESSARY. All meat, no fat, with an easy-to-read format that makes it easy to breeze through (I finished it in a couple hours). But there is enough solid conceptual material to warrant re-reading many times. Rodney's credentials are impeccable, his experience in the coaching arena is well-attested, and his strategies are all laid out for you here. I strongly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Martial Arts Business Model, May 22, 2008
By J. Moore (Woodbridge, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Martial Arts Game: A New Business, Teaching & Coaching Model For The 21st Century Martial Arts-Life® Coach (Paperback)
I found this book to be both insightful and thought provoking. Mr. King demonstrates a level of sophistication in his thinking about business and coaching that is absent from other martial arts business books and programs. Even better he presents his ideas in a style that is easy to read and understand.

If you own a martial arts school or are otherwise in the business of martial arts, I highly recommend you read this book. Sports coaches and teachers are also likely to find some nuggets.
