Since it’s usually crazy around class time, I thought I’d write this post to personally take a moment to check in on you and see how the training here at Sidekicks Family Martial Arts Centers is positively affecting your life.  Many of our newer students have recently told me, “I’ve got a ton more energy” and “I’ve lost some weight, have made some new friends and for the first time in a long time, I’m having FUN!” and “My child is like a different person…he seems happier, has made some great new friends, and is already showing more respect around the house.”  News like this always makes me smile!

I’m Sure You’re Noticing it as well…

I really hope that you’re also noticing some spectacular improvements since you began here.  Please make sure to let me know what your most recent success has been…whether it has to do with training or not – we’re always excited to help you celebrate your successes.  Hearing these success stories makes my day!

While we’re on the subject of Success, I wanted to let you know something that we’re currently working on here at SIDEKICKS that we hope you’ll take part in.  I’ve personally set the goal to help 150 new people become stronger, faster, more disciplined, healthier and happier people with Rock Solid Character within the next 5 months.  It’s a very aggressive goal, however, I’m truly PASSIONATE about it and the positive effect this will have upon our community.  Here’s the catch though…In my eyes, I’ve got a very specific target I’m aiming for.  I’m looking for winners!

150 More Students Just Like YOU will be AWESOME!

When I think about the amazing people who attend our school, I’m humbled at how lucky we all are to be surrounded by positive, happy, driven, and motivated people on a weekly basis.  It’s awesome, isn’t it?  What I’ve seen over the years of being involved with the martial arts is that those who belong on a winning team usually gravitate toward each other.  This makes sense doesn’t it?  Well, that being said…my goal is to find people just like YOU.  I believe that YOU are one of the reasons our school is such a great place.

As I said earlier, we love having you as one of our Winning Team Members.  We’d love it if you could help us to discover more people who YOU’D like to spend time training with.  Perhaps you’ve got a friend or two that you’ve recently talked to about our martial arts school.  Or maybe there’s somebody that you or a family member goes to school with?  These are the folks whose lives we’d like to impact.  Would you please help us to succeed?  I’d personally appreciate it…and to show my appreciation…I’d like to do something special for you…I’ll get to that in a second.

Close your eyes for a moment and think about the nicest gift you could give your friends and those you care most about.  Wouldn’t the opportunity to get into great shape, learn some life saving self defense, and develop solid self discipline be an amazing option?  I’ve always felt that it’s almost cruel to keep the benefits our students are getting here, a secret from the people they care most about. Well, we’d like to help you share this gift…and feel great about doing it!

Here’s a Gift of Gratitude from me to you!

You’ll notice that I’ve included with this note, an opportunity for you to nominate your “Dream Team of Winners.” I’d really like you to think about who you know (and really like) that deserves the benefits that we deliver here at Sidekicks Family Martial Arts Centers.  If you’ll do me the favor of helping me move forward toward my goal by turning in this completed “Dream Team of Winners” nomination form, as a gift of gratitude, I will present you with a special gift certificate to one of my favorite restaurants, Jaymer-Que Bar-B-Que.  Sound good?  I certainly hope so!

So here’s what we’ll do after you nominate your “Dream Team of Winners.” Myself or one of our instructors will personally call them on the phone and let them know that you’ve nominated them for a special Free Month of Classes here at our school.  We’ll then schedule their first class and then contact you so that you can jump into their first lesson with them to make it even more fun.  This is going to be great.

OK – so, go ahead and complete the included nomination form and either simply bring it in with you the next time you come to class or visit go online to our website at.  Obviously, I’m in a huge hurry to impact more lives, so I’d really appreciate it if you’d do this TODAY.

As always, I’m honored to have you training here and look forward to helping you achieve all of your goals!
