Here’s what the veterans of EFC have to say about why everyone must go…

Because in order for you to stay on top of the martial arts game, you have to go to the best conference. For instance, when we are talking about 45 minute classes, where did we get that idea from? EFC. Did it work well? Yes. When we first started our business and talked about contract amount vs. people taking money in each day, it gives us longevity, because we know that the contract amount will be there. Where did we learn this from? EFC. So if you don’t want to go to the EFC Summit, it is almost like you don’t want to be in the martial arts business for a long time.

If you think you cannot afford to go, then that is the precise reason why you need to go. The benefits you will receive from the Summit are networking, staff development, curriculum development. It’s your chance to be in breakouts with some of the most awesome martial arts business owners in the country, like Kyoshi LaVallee, Garland Johnson, Ernie Reyes, etc. Everything that EFC has to offer is at the Summit. When I went to my first convention, my EFC check was just $5,000. We started with just myself going, then my wife and I going, and now we have fundraisers throughout the year—private lesson marathons, movie nights—so that we can take our entire staff with us now. They come back energized and the weeks after the Summit, our enrollments, renewals and retention all increase.

I think it’s good for stimulating great ideas. Whether you’ve heard it in the past or not, you see it from a different perspective—and you can go back and apply it in your school. When you look through the eyes of experience, the same things tend to have a different meaning. Going to the Summit is like investing in your school.
