Two days to build a school that doesn't need you on the mat.
A working business event for martial arts school owners. Small room. Real systems. Direct access to the people who've built them.
Ticket options open to this list first.
If the school stops when you stop, this room is for you.
Your instructors can run a class, but they can't run the school. Every decision still comes back to you.
You hire on gut feel, train on the fly, and start over when someone leaves.
One program, one revenue stream, and marketing that works some months and not others.
Systems you install the week you get home.
Built by an owner who's done it.
Pat built the Ottawa Academy of Martial Arts to seven locations before moving to the United States. A Renzo Gracie black belt since 2007, he now coaches school owners through REC Success on staffing, systems and growth — and built RECCON as the room he wished he'd had.
“Pat is one of my most successful Black Belts in terms of Academy Ownership.”
“Pat Cooligan has decades of experience and an extremely impressive, proven track record in the complex world of martial arts business… He is a trusted consultant to many of the most successful martial arts gyms in North America and has expertly guided many well-known schools. He can greatly help your school too.”
Train hard. Then sit down together.
Mat time every day of the event with several world-class instructors.
Every attendee, one table, final night.
What owners say about working with Pat.
When I started working with Pat, I had one martial arts school. Today, Champion’s Creed operates two large locations with more than 60 employees… Nine years in, he is still the person I call before making a big move.
Opening Renzo Gracie Easton was one of the biggest steps I've ever taken, and I can honestly say we wouldn't be where we are today without Pat and the entire Rec Success team.
The speakers were all pros in the martial arts business, providing practical tips that you can actually use… I walked away with some great marketing strategies, succession planning, and ways to keep my students engaged.
