CounterPunch™ Facilitator Certification

For Combat Gym Owners

It Can Be Tough As Combat Gym Owners...

It's taken a lot of blood, sweat and tears, and you've worked hard to build what you have today.

You've learned that being proficient in your form of combat isn't enough on its own to have a successful combat gym.

You've studied and applied business principles to grow your combat gym:

• Upgrading to better equipment and facilities
• Selling training gear and equipment
• Hiring trainers to teach different styles of combat
• Running community events / competitions
• Selling memberships

And business has improved over the years.

But despite things being pretty good, you can't help but feel like there's more to this...

You know there's potential for more revenue, but:

• You're already feeling run down, overworked and frustrated trying to manage everything
• You could hire more staff/trainers, but it's hard to find good staff that will stay
• You're never quite sure whether a particular style of combat will be popular or not
• It's sometimes difficult to stand out from your competitors who all offer similar services and market in very similar ways

On top of that, instead of a meaningful career where you could focus on delivering meaningful results to your clients (the original reason you started) you find yourself overwhelmed, drowning in administration and management tasks that don't light you up.

But what if... you could grow your business by focusing on tasks that light you up?

Tasks that:

• Allow you to cultivate that exact feeling of inner power and control you first discovered in future generations of youth
• Allow you to maximise your combat gym during off-peak hours
• Allow you to tap into one of the hardest markets to recruit from
• Don't require you to change and adapt your combat styles in order to cater to what your customers like
• Don't require you to hire new trainers and instructors – but rather, help you maximise your current team
• Have the potential to increase your yearly revenue by $24,000 with only 5 hours investment per week (and unlimited growth potential if you choose to invest more time).

That's where the CounterPunch™ Facilitation Program comes in.

But before we dive into that, here's a little bit about me...

What Is The CounterPunch™ Method? And Why Combat Gym Owners?

Teenagers go through a period of rapid transformation and identification as they transition into adulthood – and with that comes many emotional challenges.

They're flooded with new emotions they haven't felt before and don't know how to manage, and they're consistently trying to balance between the identity of being a dependent child versus an independent young adult.

The CounterPunch™ method teaches teenagers practical tools to both understand and effectively master the life skills needed to recognise, manage and express emotions such as stress, anxiety, anger and depression in a healthy manner – skills that if teenagers don't learn, can affect the quality of their lives later in adulthood.

The Problem With Traditional Forms Of Therapy And Counselling For Teens

The first thought that might come to mind is that this is the role of psychologists and counsellors, as they are specialists in this field.

The problem with this is 3-fold:

1. It's often only when teenagers have gone through severe experiences for a prolonged period of time that they end up seeing a psychologist:
   • Many of these severe experiences can be managed and prevented beforehand with the right self-management tools.
   • Not all teenagers seek and/or receive therapy and are therefore left helpless.
     
     
2. There is stigma associated with "having to see a therapist"
   • Teenagers are very self-conscious about how they appear, especially to their peers.
   • The last thing they want to associate with their newly forming identity as they grow up is someone who "needs help."
     
     
3. Traditional forms of counselling and therapy are boring and do not work with teenagers:
   • Adults are content to sit face-to-face and use talk therapy.
   • Young people on the other hand, don't like this method. Talk therapy can often take the form of intermittent grunts and rushing out the door at the first opportunity.

That's where the CounterPunch™ method comes in to fill the gap.

Rather than only addressing the mental health side of things, or just the physical health side of things, CounterPunch looks at addressing the skill and knowledge gap in a truly wholistic manner in order to help teenagers develop into fully functioning adults that can reach their true potential in life – we refer to this as the Performance Jigsaw™.

In my many years working with young people, I have found that the need to feel empowered, significant and competent is the biggest factor driving teenagers' behaviour.

And the easiest way for teenagers to feel this sense of empowerment is on a physical level.

That's where you (the combat gym owner/coach) come in, and why I need your help.
