Preventing instructor burnout might be the most critical challenge you face as a martial arts school owner. How do you build a staff culture that's sustainable while delivering exceptional training? This episode tackles this challenge head-on with insights from three martial arts business veterans.
Master Tony Kook (president of BC Taekwondo Federation with 2,100 active students across multiple locations) and Master Tony Chung join host Jimmy Hong to share battle-tested strategies for developing unbreakable staff teams. Their conversation reveals the critical difference between treating leadership development as "free help" versus creating true apprenticeships that benefit everyone involved.
Whether you're struggling with instructor turnover or looking to expand your martial arts business sustainably, this episode provides concrete strategies you can implement immediately. The insights apply across all martial arts styles and business models. Connect with this community of school owners at the upcoming ASA Summit this October in Las Vegas—details in the show notes.
