Question: Do you really need to open a dojo to teach full-time?

The answer might surprise you. And while the Small Dojo Big Profits method does center on having a full-time location (for stability and class expansion), I have known several successful "school owners" over the years who didn't actually own schools.

One of them taught part-time classes at two gyms, four nights a week, and made around $4k a month clear from those two locations. He also worked a day job that he didn't want to give up, and was happy to have two incomes.

Another is a client of mine that I'll be interviewing for the podcast soon... but I don't want to spoil it for you. Let's just say he does quite well without having a full-time location.

And yet another is Mr. Christopher Folmar, a full-time instructor from Keller, TX who was my interview guest for the podcast episode below. Mr. Folmar has a very robust enrollment in his classes at a part-time location, and he also is an app designer who helps martial art school owners with retaining more students.

If you think you have to open a studio to teach "full-time" then you'll want to listen to this interview:
