The best new students are old students that come back. They already understand our culture and even though we have evolved over time , most come back and dedicate themselves to getting their black shirts or for the friendships and camradierie they’ve been missing. With around 5400 former students still on my database and more than 3000 active phone numbers and emails we could never take on a new student and still have a healthy club.
Referrals from current members are also great but would ask that you or the person contacts me first and you not just turn up to a class with them. This way we can give them the attention they deserve. Over time i have learned that new students whether they are experienced or not `will slow down a class especially an advanced class. It is far better if they attend the times we have set aside for induction. For adults Monday 6pm, Wednesday 7pm and Saturday 2.30pm, Teens 14-17 years Monday & Wednesday 5pm and Saturday 1pm, 8-13 years Monday and Wednesday 4.15pm and Saturday 12pm and Under 10’s Saturday 11am.
I haven’t been much for rewarding people who refer but I will make the beginners package more attractive for both referrals and returning students.
For members re-starting (must be 6 months since previous membership) or a referral from an existing studentthe 28 day starter pack will be 50 days and includes equipment. If the student past or new has adequate equipment (16oz gloves for adults) from a past membership or from somewhere else the membership will be extended by a further 10 days so 60 days.
This will be an on-going offer.
