REC Success

REC Success REC Consulting is consulting for Martial Arts school owners that want to take their facility to the next level. They take time, dedication, and hard work.

REC Consulting is committed to the success of our clients. We understand the challenges that face school owners, whether they are financial, staffing, or personal issues. Unlike other consultants, our experts are still active in the martial arts community, opening and operating schools, so we know everything that our clients are going through. It is important to note that this understanding does n

ot mean that we will tolerate excuses. Not wanting to obsess over what your competition is doing, for example, is not an excuse to be ignorant of them. At REC Consulting, we pride ourselves on routinely over-delivering to our clients. This level of commitment, however, cannot be sustained without the perseverance and accountability of our clients. We take our work seriously, and need to know that you will too. Our clients need to be honest with us and themselves in order to succeed. Development- Great schools don’t pop up overnight. REC Consulting is committed to helping our clients develop the proper skillsets, attitudes, staff, and day-to-day practices that will allow them to succeed. REC Consulting offers various layers of development, providing our clients with a comprehensive development process. While our role is to mentor clients, we also expect them be proactive and engaged in the learning process. Successful school owners have to want to develop their skillsets and schools. It is they who must be the driving force behind their own self-improvement. Mentorship-At REC Consulting, we strive to cultivate a special relationship with our clients, working closely with individuals to help them achieve their goals. Through mentoring, we create a partnership with our client that is focused on personal development and mutual respect. We aim to develop long-lasting, meaningful relationships with clients, in order to empower them to be successful, independent school owners. Our goal is to provide clients with the skills and tools to stand on their own.

Every owner I meet can tell me what is wrong with someone else's school.

Almost none can tell me what is wrong with their own.

That is not a character flaw. You cannot read the label from inside the jar. You have been standing in the same building for nine years looking at the same schedule, the same staff, the same three programs. Your blind spot is exactly the size of the thing you look at every day.

Banff is two days in a room where other operators look at your business for you. Your retention numbers. Your staffing. What you charge and why. Which programs are carrying you and which ones you keep out of loyalty.

Some of what you hear will be uncomfortable. That is the point. Nobody drives to Alberta to be agreed with.

🏔️ Nine weeks out from Banff.

Oct 28–29. Banff, Alberta. A room of school owners who are done guessing.

I have run this event every year because the same thing keeps happening: an owner walks in stuck at $18K a month and walks out with a plan that gets them past $40K. Not theory. Profit centers, staffing, retention, and the numbers behind them.

Who it's for:
🥋 Owners running one location who want a second
🥋 Multi-location operators who need systems, not hustle
🥋 GMs being groomed to run the business

Seats are limited and I keep it that way on purpose.

💰 Local Google searches are not always casual browsing. Many come from people who are ready to make a decision.

Approximately 28% of local searches lead to a purchase.

For a martial arts school, that action could begin with:

🥋 A paid trial
📅 An introductory appointment
📞 A phone call
👨👩👧 A family visiting your academy
💳 A new membership

Google Ads can place your school in front of prospects when their intent is highest—but only when the campaign, keywords, landing page and tracking are properly managed.

Do not waste your advertising budget with a generic agency that does not understand the martial arts industry.

Nearly 46% of Google searches have local intent, meaning prospects are actively looking for nearby businesses and services.

A properly managed Google Ads campaign can position your academy in front of people searching for:

🔎 Kids martial arts near me
🔎 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes
🔎 Karate classes for children
🔎 Adult martial arts training

Stop relying on potential members to accidentally discover your school.

This will be a work in Progress, but have a listen.

In the premiere episode of The Jiu Jitsu Crucible, hosts Pat Cooligan and André Porfirio provide an in-depth analysis of the 2025 IBJJF World Championships. Pat Cooligan, a 4th-degree black belt under Renzo Gracie and the first Canadian to receive this honor, brings decades of experience to the discussion—having attended every World Championship since 2004, starting with the iconic Roger Gracie vs. Jacaré match. André Porfirio, a distinguished competitor with multiple IBJJF titles across various belt levels, including the 2021 Pan Championship, offers insights from his extensive competitive background. Together, they dissect standout performances, unexpected upsets, and the evolving dynamics of the sport, setting the stage for an engaging journey through the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
