Hi Dan,

A couple of suggestions.

I think that you should add more reasons to why private lessons? I don't think that reason is good enough. A couple more suggestions to reach your target market.

1) Class times fit into their schedule.
2) Pressure free environment
3) Lesson plans catered to them

Etc. you get the idea. You are asking people to give you their money. Got to give them a choice of reasons. Otherwise, the choice you offer might not be the one they want. Remember the people who can afford private lessons are usually the busiest people.

Second, If you have a blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do or some other art, state it. Most people want to learn from a blackbelt, regardless of the system. The ad seems geared towards people who have a working knowledge of MMA and BJJ. That should not be your target market.

I don't like the picture. You should show a picture of a more dominant position. Most of the BJJ ads you see are of a guy mounted and about to rain punches down on another person. Stick with something like that.

Also a word of advice. Before you start giving private lessons make sure you have adequate insurance as well as waivers for the students to sign. Make sure the equipment (mats etc.) are in good condition. Set it up as a company or coporation so liability doesn't become personal.

Good luck.

Some porn wouldnt go astray.
A few picss of naked women practicing their open guard maybe.
Just a thought.

Personally, I didn't like the way my browser showed the page. You have to scroll across the bottom of the page as opposed to just up and down. Other than that I think you are off to a good start!

Thanks guy,Those are some great suggestions.I never even thought of insurance or waivers.I'm not expeireanced at the business end of things.It's a really bad pic.I traced it.I have been told it is a really bad page.So,how about another contest?

I couldnt see a weapons section or anything on poisons or stealth.
Apart from that I thought it looked OK.

LMAO @ Shimora!

That's because it's a website about martial arts Shimoron.

...not selling ninja weapons to kids in order to get their email addresses for your romantic purposes.
