Why Martial Arts?

Karate (or kara te, meaning "empty hand") is a centuries-old means of self-defense that uses all parts of the body to their maximum advantage. But more than simply dynamic body movements, karate is the ability to coordinate mind over body, allowing the unleashing of tremendous mental and physical power at will, no matter what your size or strength.

Karate was first taught in the United States in 1955. Since then, hundreds of thousands of people have been introduced to its many benefits... but that barely scratches the surface of the opportunity Mile High Karate presents in America today.

As a Mile High Karate franchisee, you'll be part of the $10.6 billion health and fitness facility industry, a category that has grown to 30 million individual participants in the U.S. alone.

The U.S. Martial Arts Association estimates that just 6 million people have experienced the martial arts in one form or another... barely 2 percent of the population. That means enormous opportunity for growth, especially given the increased interest in finding new and better ways for Americans to attain better health. Many of our nation's schools have not made physical education a priority, despite evidence suggesting that U.S. students should be exercising more. A recent report from the National Association for Sport and Physical Education concluded that schools in most states "are not living up to recommendations... to require daily, quality physical education for all students".

Armed with this knowledge, today's parents are seeking worthy, effective programs to enhance their child's physical development... the kind of programs that Mile High Karate can provide.

I hope that you will consider exploring this opportunity if you are ready to plunge into an exciting new career that combines community impact and an incredible amount of fun.
