To do that effectively, you need to have a school merchandise program in place, one that’s designed to steer customers away from acquiring their gear elsewhere. The program should include an official equipment policy, the creation of branded merchandise (uniforms, sparring pads, gear bags, etc.) and an enforcement policy. I know — you don’t like to think of your students as customers. That’s understandable. What you do is a higher calling. You teach a way of life. It’s a noble ambition that precludes you from looking at your students as parts of an income stream. I’m the same. We have to get past all that if we want to stay in business and continue to change lives. Before diving in, I’ll share two of the many stories that led to the creation of our program. Our dojo was stocked with two pairs of each size of all the sparring gear. On display for everyone to see were bright red foot pads, hand pads and helmets. Everyone knew that they were supposed to buy their gear from us. Great place to be, right? Wrong. One day, I pulled up to the dojo and noticed a mom and her two kids wearing red hand pads and helmets with the wrong logos. That set up an awkward confrontation: “They’re the wrong kind — why didn’t you buy them from us?” We ended up having the family place stickers on the helmets to hide the logos, but what a hassle it was. Afterward, we decided to brand our sparring gear with our school logo and get it that way directly from the supplier. Problem solved, right? Wrong. One day, I was sitting at my desk when in walked the mother of an orange belt. She handed me a printout from a website and asked whether the gear was the same as ours. I said, “Yes, but aren’t you going to buy it from us?” She said, “No, I can get it a little cheaper online,” then drove off in her BMW. Although I thought I’d solved the problem by branding our gear, I needed to come up with a policy for enforcing it. The first step, however, is finding a supplier that’s capable of branding your merchandise. Your primary concern should be uniforms — that’s the first thing a new student purchases, after all. Therefore, an official gi with your school logo printed on the back should be the first thing you source. Such a uniform will give students a sense of pride and belonging. Never- theless, you might get pushback from parents or from students who transfer from another school and want to use the gi they already have. Your policy and your response must be clear: “You’re part of this school, and you must wear the school gi. You wouldn’t join the Green Bay Packers and wear silver and black with the Raiders logo. The same goes for your karate uniform.” Sparring gear is the next item to consider. My advice is to follow the same policy you use for uniforms. If you wish, you can implement a sys- tem of color coding for sparring gear (and for uniforms) that has color belts using blue or red pads and black belts using black or silver pads. It’s also recommended to brand gear bags and have plenty of them available. If you don’t, students will just walk in with their Everlast or Nike bags and you’ll lose potential sales. (Note: We don’t require our students to buy a gear bag from us, but most do.) Other products can fall into the branding category, including items that may not be necessary for training but that make training more comfortable. Think about bag gloves, mat socks, martial art shoes and even COVID masks. T-shirts, of course, are a no-brainer — whenever a student walks around town or school in a shirt bearing your dojo name, it’s free advertising. Eventually, problems will arise. Maybe Grandma buys a piece of equipment as a Christmas pres- ent for her grandkid, who trains at your school. When the kid brings it in, you should politely say no. If you cave, it will only get worse. That student will tell other students — or other stu- dents will notice — and in no time, everyone will demand the same treatment. Then little Johnny will walk in with black sparring pads despite the fact that you allow only red and blue. You must nip it in the bud — which is why I crafted a letter and posted it on our dojo bulletin board. This has eliminated most of the problems. SCHOOL EQUIPMENT POLICY Uniforms and sparring gear used/worn by those training at this school must be acquired here. In many cases, they will bear the school logo. This policy/directive, instituted by the committee, is in place for consistency, safety and dojo solvency. It is in the best interest of all persons who are part of this school. Those who have acquired items elsewhere will have one year to comply with the directive. A payment plan can be worked out for anyone needing assistance. Be on your school team and help keep your tuition among the lowest in the county by purchasing all your equipment here. We appreciate it.  Later, we added an abbreviated version of the letter to our school handbook. For safety, we included the following: “Oriental weaponry/ demonstration devices also must be acquired here at the dojo.” The reason? No school owner can afford to allow students to bring in home- made weapons, which could injure others if they malfunction. The bottom line is, the more direct you can be in outlining your school’s equipment policy, the better off you and your students will be. For those school owners who lack the space to carry a variety of sizes of everything they use in class, I recommend contacting Century Martial Arts. Its Century Direct program helps you set up a website for your students to purchase equipment from you, and you get to choose the items they see. When they make a purchase, you get the commission. You never have to manage inventory. It couldn’t be simpler. For more information about Century Direct, visit cmasdirect.com .

Nico Carrillo crushed Saemapetch Fairtex at ONE Fight Night 23 to firmly supplant himself as the undisputed #1-ranked contender in the ONE Championship bantamweight Muay Thai division. “The King of the North” stopped Saemapetch with three knockdowns during their co-main event collision and then made sure the world knew he was next in line for a shot at the sport’s biggest prize. After the event, Carrillo was elated with extending his streak over another top name in the sport. “I’m on cloud nine. I’m very happy with my performance. And yeah, another Thai legend added to the list. Not many people can say they’ve done what I’m doing,” Carrillo admitted to ONE. Carrillo was completely confident he would earn the finish, but getting the finish took a little time to surmise in the ring. The Scot admitted he had to adjust to what his Thai opponent was doing, but once he figured out the movement, the ending was inevitable. “I wasn’t surprised [by his durability]. I think he had a bit of a weird tactic. He was ducking his head when I was coming in close, and I had to readjust to that because it was taking the power out of my shots. That was a bit strange. But after I readjusted, yeah, I knew he wouldn’t be able to take the shots,” the Scot said. As Carrillo continues to climb within the division and as a global superstar, many think he is entering his prime. The 25-year-old does not share that opinion. He offered that this is only the beginning of him climbing toward the peak of the mountain for what is possible. “I’m still improving, even in this fight camp alone. I’m a new fighter compared to seven months ago when I fought Nong-O. That shows how much I’m improving in the space of one fight camp,” Carrillo stated.   “I’ve improved so much, and I don’t believe I’m in my prime yet. I don’t think I’ll be at my prime until I’m like 27, 28. You should still see the best of Nico [to come]. I’m like a fine wine.” At ONE 168: Denver, Jonathan Haggerty will defend the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title against Superlek Kiatmoo9. Whoever wins, Carrillo will be waiting to challenge. The Scot did not make a prediction but did share his preference for who he would like to square off against for his first attempt at ONE gold. “I’m not sure [who’ll win that fight], but I would prefer to fight Haggerty. Not because he’s better or anything. I would just like to be the one to take the belt from him,” Carrillo admitted.

Jean Silva, the dynamic Brazilian lightweight, is quickly making a name for himself in the UFC with his remarkable performance and willingness to challenge himself. Just two weeks after a notable victory over Charles Jourdain at UFC 303, Silva is stepping up not only in competition but also in weight class, to face seasoned fighter Drew Dober at UFC Denver. Silva, a product of Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS) Class of '23, has shown a promising start to his UFC career. After earning a unanimous decision against the then-undefeated Kevin Vallejos on DWCS, Silva has continued to impress. He started his UFC journey with a swift victory over Westin Wilson and most recently stopped Jourdain, marking the first time Jourdain has been finished in his extensive 23-fight career. The bout with Jourdain had its slight hiccup—Silva missed weight by 1.5 pounds. However, moving up to the lightweight division for his upcoming match should alleviate such issues. Facing Dober represents a significant step up for Silva. Dober, a fixture in the lightweight rankings and known for his robust conditioning and experience, represents a formidable challenge. His recent victories over notable opponents like Terrance McKinney, Rafael Alves, and Bobby Green underline his capability and resilience in the division. This match-up is not just a test of Silva’s skill but also his strategic career moves. Competing against a veteran like Dober in Denver, where Dober trains year-round, showcases Silva’s readiness to take on top-tier opponents. A win here could propel Silva into the lightweight rankings and open up numerous opportunities, whether he chooses to stay in this division or return to featherweight. For Silva, this fight is a win-win situation. A victory would significantly enhance his reputation and position within the UFC, while a loss, given the circumstances of short notice and moving up a weight class, would still highlight his boldness and resilience.

After a year away from the Octagon, bantamweight contender Montel Jackson is set to face Da'Mon Blackshear at UFC Denver, eyeing a victory that could elevate his career to new heights.

Jackson, known for his calm demeanor and strategic approach, has maintained his fitness and honed his fighting skills during his hiatus, despite the setbacks of canceled bouts and scheduling conflicts. His last appearance, a stunning knockout against Rani Yahya in April 2023, showcased his potential, which he aims to exceed in his upcoming fight. Facing Blackshear, a formidable opponent who recently trained with the Tiger Muay Thai team in Thailand, Jackson recognizes the significance of this fight. At 32, Jackson is determined to break into the Top 15 bantamweight rankings, understanding the competitive nature of securing high-profile fights within the division.

Despite a series of canceled fights, "The Fearless" Joshua Van remains undeterred in his pursuit of UFC glory. Following his impressive victory over Felipe Bunes in January, which pushed his UFC record to 3-0, Van has encountered unexpected hurdles with four potential matchups falling through due to various reasons. The fighters in question included Lucas Rocha, Sumudaerji, Tatsuro Taira, and Tagir Ulanbekov. "It's been a tough six months without a fight. I was aiming to compete six times this year, but these cancellations are really frustrating," Van expressed. However, the young fighter remains grounded, thanks to the consistent training regimen instilled by his coaches and the encouragement from his head coach, Daniel Pineda. Pineda, a seasoned UFC veteran, has been instrumental in keeping Van focused, advising him to stay prepared for any last-minute opportunities. Van's commitment to his training is evident. Unlike many fighters who ramp up their training only when a fight is scheduled, he maintains a steady pace, ensuring he's always in top form. "We don’t fluctuate in our training intensity. That consistency is crucial," he noted. Mentally, Van is bolstered by the support from his coaching team, including Frank Gallego, who together have helped him navigate the psychological challenges of the sport. "At one point, I considered retiring to find a regular job, but my team kept me grounded and patient," Van shared. With Pineda set to compete against Nathaniel Wood in England on July 27, Van is eager to step back into the Octagon himself. Despite the holiday festivities around July 4th, Van chose to focus on his career, illustrating his dedication and the sacrifices required to succeed at the highest levels of MMA. Van's immediate goal is to triumph in his upcoming fight against Charles Johnson and to secure three more significant bouts by the end of 2024. He believes that consistent performances will prove his value to the UFC and pave the way for more prominent fights.
