We value our customers

We value you

But we need to do a better job proving it

I think that sums it up. As a business owner, I have had to deal with
the many ups and downs associated with running a small business. When I
thought I had it all figured out, I realized that I needed to go another
direction to improve. I am not above making changes and believing that
there are areas which need improvement.

The one thing that I never lost site of was the importance my students
were to the success of my business. Obviously without you, we wouldn’t be
in business. Without you, we wouldn’t have anyone to pour our lives into
and share our love of the martial arts and fitness.

So, to better help you and provide a more valuable service to my students
I am going to offer a few things which I believe will improve the value you
see in our programs.

Value number 1 - Some extra time absolutely free

If at all possible, I or another instructor will be on location thirty
minutes prior to class start. We encourage you to come earlier if you need
the following:

- Some extra help with a technique, form or self defense
- Want free extra training time with an instructor
- Wish to have time to work out on your own
- Get extra training on advanced techniques or concepts
- Ask questions, get input
- Want to get some extra sparring time in with your friends

Value number 2 - A free trial month of the fitness boot camp

The holiday months are upon us. I know that the battle to keep weight off
or even being motivated to get in shape is hard during this period. If you
are a member in any of our programs, either you or a parent of a member of
our programs can take the fitness boot camp absolutely free as our way to
help you get in shape and lose weight before the new year. This will
definitely kick your new years resolutions into high gear.

Value number 3 - $100 referral bonus

The $50 referral bonus was a huge hit a year ago, but maybe we need to up
the ante a bit. I know that making a decision about joining our program
could be tough especially during the holidays when you are scrambling to
get those last minute Christmas gifts. Let me help by rewarding you by
referring new students to our program.

For every student that you refer that signs up for our program, you will
receive $100 bonus referral. It is our way of appreciating you for thinking
of us by referring us to your friends.

Value number 4 - Parents Association

It has always been my heart to be able to give back to the community. One
of the ways we can do this is to form a parent’s association. The goal of
this association is to do civic activities and raise money towards helping
children and teens who normally couldn’t afford these types of programs.

I would like to get more involved in helping the needy in our communities.
I would like the parents association to be the civic arm of our like minded
group. We can raise funds for the homeless, provide car washes to raise
money to send kids to hospitals who need it. We can buy much needed medical
equipment for those who cannot afford to do so.

I believe that to truly be a black belt in any art, they must understand
the importance of protecting others. There is no better way to teach this
than by doing it. I believe it is a great way to reach out and serve
others.

Value number 5 - Will teach for food?

I am a huge supporter of the Mount Vernon Food Pantry. At the end of
October, we helped sponsor a Zombie Walk where 75 people showed up to
donate canned goods for the food pantry and raise money for United Way.
There are some great photos of me on Facebook dressed as a Zombie!

But more to point…

Does your church or organization want to have a Self Defense Seminar?

Would your organization or business be interested in a Qi Gong
Healing/Stress Reduction Seminar?

Does your children’s program at church or after school program need to
talk about ‘Stranger Danger’ and how to avoid being abducted?

In the past I have charged for these services. Now they are given away in
exchange for donations to the Mount Vernon Food Pantry. It is my way of
contributing my services towards a worthy cause. Help me help others by
talking about these free public education classes I am giving away. Not
only does it help your organization or group, it will help our community at
large.

Conclusion

It is my hope that you see that we really value you as a customer and
fellow member of Community Martial Arts. I am trying to build a large
social group of like minded and like-hearted people who love our community
and value the arts.

Sincerely,

Jeff Barnes

Crazy knife fighting video

You can learn a lot from the following video

Here you can see that even when the attacker has a knife in his back hand, the defender can throw him around like a rag doll. Imagine if the defender had a knife as well. More than likely he would have been able to subdue his attacker.

What I would like to mention is that as in all self defense, it does matter who your attacker is. More times than not an attacker will come after you because he believes that he or she has some physical advantage over you. That advantage be it size or a weapon will in their eyes render you under their control.

However an untrained, emotional, angry attacker rarely can think straight. In this video you can see that this person was unsuccessful at harming the other person and got themselves almost hit by oncoming traffic. This is a good note to mention when you see someone carrying a weapon in their back hand.

If the lead leg and arm are without a weapon, this is a quick and easy target to use to throw off the attack. Stomping the foot, knee or kicking the outside of the leg of the attacker can redirect them and give you the few precious seconds necessary to get away. In the event that you find yourself under attack, you can grab the lead arm to literally direct your attacker in another direction or sway them away from you as in this video.

We have a cardio kickboxing class that kicks butt

So, are you looking for something to do during the day?

Do you need some extra exercise in your day?

Then we have something for you - Cardio Kickboxing Classes have now come to Mount Vernon Indiana.

Every Tuesday and Thursday we have exercise classes at 9:15 AM. This is great time for moms because they have time to get the kids off to school and now need some time for themselves while not wrecking their whole day. We know you are busy and have tons of things to do during the day so that is why the class is geared towards 45-50 minutes of great calorie burning workout. You can be in and out of the class in one hour! Just in time to meet your friends for lunch or to get home to do the laundry (if you have too).

Can you believe what this means to you? Most people are resolved to workout in the weekends or late evenings. This sure doesn’t work for families who have children. By the time they get home from school, you are working on homework, juggling after school programs, and trying to get dinner on the table. We know that you have a ton on your mind during the evenings. This equates to not having time for yourself to work out.

One other thing we forgot to mention -> FREE BABYSITTING  WHILE YOU WORKOUT!

Free Babysitting While You Work Out

Yes, if you have little ones at home and need someone to watch them… We do it absolutely free so you can get in your daily work outs. We  provide this service on site so you are never too far away to check in on your children if you wish!

That is why it is so important for you to get out there and take advantage of this program! And what can we do to make it easy for you to join?

Because we will give you an entire month for only $7. To get this unbelievable offer, simply go to http://www.communitymartialarts.com and pay via paypal. This will reserve your spot. But hurry! This offer expires in thirty days OR when 20 people sign up. So you know this offer won’t last long!

$7 for a month of cardio kickboxing classes WITH free babysitting?  YES.

Self Defense Black Belt Instructors

DON’T JOIN MY PROGRAM UNTIL YOU READ THIS…

I had the great pleasure of getting to train and become one of the few schools on the ground floor of the Self Defense Black Belt Program offered by Martial Arts School Alliance International. This program offers a rotating curriculum of top notch boxing, kickboxing, and military combatives techniques. It has been awesome to see a bunch of highly dedicated men in women in my program who are literally becoming more confident in their self defense skills along with learning some top notch techniques.

My group of men and women have been doing great and progressing along with the skill levels outlined in the curriculum. Sometimes I add some of the fighting fit fitness boot camp workout routine into their warm ups to give them a challenge. You can see an example of some of the stuff we have covered in the past week during our class. If you are looking for a great workout along with learning some top notch self defense techniques that will keep you safe on the street, then look no further. You don’t have to be a wimp. You don’t have to worry whether or not you can defend yourself. You don’t have to worry about whether you have the best instructor in Southern Indiana!

• Can you imagine being able to QUICK SELF DEFENSE TECHNIQUES that will work against anyone, anywhere, anytime? Producing a compelling feeling inside of others that you are not one to be messed with?

• Wouldn’t you like to have UNSHAKABLE confidence whenever YOU NEED IT? Imagine feeling those feelings of certainty and conviction all the time! Be able to walk into any situation and FEEL sure  you can protect yourself no matter what!

• How would like to develop STRIKING POWER when you need it? We will show you how to maximize your striking power with proper technique and execution.

• How would you like to learn PROVEN STRIKING TECHNIQUES to covertly over power your opponents? Overwhelm your attacker with easy to use and implement techniques.

What I’m about to tell you, is the key to unlock THE SECRET every successful SELF DEFENSE EXPERT uses to in Every Situation! Now you’ll get the same results they do, utilizing your own style!

What do you think makes a good Self Defense Expert?

It’s Determination… their ability to Learn and Apply Proven Techniques AND the confidence to apply them when the situation arises.

Zig Ziglar once said: “You can have anything in the world you want if you’ll first just help enough other people get what they want.” There’s nothing you cannot obtain in this world if you are willing to help somebody else So it only MAKES SENSE that I want to help you achieve phenomenal results in the Self Defense Black Belt Program.

So if you’ve been standing on the sidelines up until now, and you’ve never had the opportunity to sharpen your skills like I have, then you’ll never be able to successfully defend yourself or fight like a real MMA UFC Champion until you LEARN HOW. Now I’ve done all the hard work for you! By the way… I wasn’t a natural when I first started. I was goofy, often lacked confidence and rarely felt I could really use anything I was taught.  I had to LEARN THESE same techniques you’ll get when you decide THIS IS SOMETHING YOU NEED!

Zombie Walk in Mount Vernon Indiana

Chuck Gray of Mount Vernon Indiana is one of the walking dead… Or at least he will be on October 31st in Mount Vernon, Indiana.

Chuck is organizing a Zombie Walk in Mount Vernon, Indiana on October 31st, 2009. It is his hope to raise money and awareness for the local food pantries who serve the Posey County Indiana community. A ZOMBIE WALK is where people dress themselves up as the recently departed and walk in the local communities to help raise awareness for a specific need.

Zombie Walks have become quite a phenomenon over the last couple of years and becoming more popular every day. Just Google Zombie Walk and you will see tons of photos of groups organizing, dressing up in their gorey best to support a local charitable or non-profit organization. I highly encourage everyone to turn out on October 31st dressed as Zombies to have fun and support our local food pantry as we come into the holiday season.

The Mount Vernon Food Pantry has taken a huge hit over the last year. With the downturn of the economy, there are more families requesting support and need this year. With the upcoming Holidays and cold weather, some families have to make life decisions as to whether they eat or pay their heating bills. Let us all do our part to extend a helping hand to this great organization.
