How to Grow and Sustain a Successful Adults Karate Program

Tips from Cheyne and Reece on Building and Keeping Adult Students

Motive for training

• First we need to identify the main reasons for training to see if we cater 
• The Influence of Karate Kid from the 80s onwards & now Cobra Kai
• Childhood curiosity/passion - ex members wish they never gave up!

Build a separate syllabus 

• The need to differentiate from Kids Karate - 
• Curriculum needs to be based on Self-Defence and Fitness

Structuring the class 

• Separating Adult Class
• Family Class

Building a community

• BJJ has a fantastic approach to building community and friendships, we need to emulate this feature
• Create a community by having once a term activities - bowling, dinner, pubs, paintball 
• Having a Facebook group where members can interact - this will only continue to develop, and members becoming friends on FB and interacting with each other
