#124 THE BIGGEST MISTAKE SCHOOLS MAKE BEFORE TESTING/BELT PROMOTIONS (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most school owners think they have a testing problem. They don't. They have a preparation problem. In this episode, Chip breaks down why testing and belt promotions should never be something students suddenly prepare for a few weeks before the big day. When every class is structured around clear expectations, meaningful corrections, and consistent growth, testing simply reveals what students have been working toward all along. Testing doesn't begin on testing day. It begins on day one.
#123 WHAT PARENTS MIGHT ACTUALLY MEAN WHEN THEY SAY... w/ Glyn Ann Townsend (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Parents say a lot more than they realize, and after years of working with families, Chip and Glyn Ann have learned their fair share about how to translate. In this episode, they break down some of the most common things parents say, what they might actually mean, and how school owners can respond wisely without making assumptions or damaging the relationship. Because sometimes, “We’ll think about it” means a whole lot more than those four words.
#122 THE LINE BETWEEN PERSONABLE AND PERSONAL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Building strong relationships with students and families is one of the best parts of running a martial arts school, but there’s a difference between being personable and becoming too personal. In this episode, Chip talks about maintaining healthy boundaries, holding consistent standards, and leading well while still making students and families feel cared for.
#121 SCHOLARSHIPS THAT STRENGTHEN SCHOOLS (NOT SINK THEM) w/ Carson Rynders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Giving back is important, but generosity without structure can hurt the very school you're trying to build. Chip sits down with Carson Rynders of Kicks for Kids to talk about how martial arts school owners can create scholarships that serve families, build responsibility, and strengthen their schools without creating entitlement or financial strain. They discuss faith, stewardship, accountability, and why generosity and high standards can, and should, go hand in hand.
#120 WHY SOME MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOLS GROW IN THE FALL AND OTHERS DON'T (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fall can be one of the biggest growth seasons for a martial arts school, but growth doesn't automatically mean you're building a stronger school. In this episode, Chip breaks down why some schools are ready to grow in the fall while others simply get busier. Learn how leadership, student experience, and retention determine whether your growth actually lasts.
