Why Most Martial Arts School Owners Stay Broke, Burnt Out, and Invisible...

(And How You’re Going to Obliterate That Version of You in 2 Days Flat)

Hey, it's Nick D...

Dear Martial Arts School Owner,

Let’s cut through the bullsh*t.

You don’t need another seminar with a bunch of guys in polos talking about “brand awareness” while secretly trying to upsell you into a $10,000 mastermind.

You don’t need another motivational speaker yelling about “grit” and “passion” while their own business is underwater.

What you need…

Is a full-on, face-first, burn-the-old-you-to-the-ground transformation.

You need to rip the roof off your business.

Rebuild your mindset.

Install systems that print results.

And walk out as the most dangerous version of yourself the industry’s ever seen.

That’s why we created:

READY. SET. RISE.

Powered by My Manager

A 2-Day War Room for Martial Arts School Owners Who Are DONE Playing Small

This is NOT a seminar.

This is a reconstruction of who you are as a business owner, leader, and brand.

Because let’s be honest...

You’re doing everything you were told to do: 

✅ Teaching great classes

✅ Posting on social

✅ Running ads

✅ Giving a damn about your students

And somehow…

You’re still stuck.

Still stressed.

Still getting smoked by lesser schools with louder voices.

That’s not your fault.

It’s the INDUSTRY’S fault.

The problem? No one taught you how to: 

💥 Become the face of your market

💥 Market like a master

💥 Build a machine that runs without you

💥 And position your school as a sellable, scalable, unstoppable force

But that’s exactly what’s going down at READY. SET. RISE.

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL WALK OUT WITH (GUARANTEED):

1️⃣ You’ll Become the Attractive Character Your Brand Desperately Needs

Right now, your market doesn’t see you.

You’re skilled.

You care.

But to the outside world? You’re invisible.

We’ll fix that.

You’re going to learn how to become the undeniable, unforgettable, magnetic force that your school (and community) NEEDS.

After this, you’ll stop chasing.

And start leading.

You’ll go from instructor...

To icon.

2️⃣ You’ll Learn How to Market Like No One Else in the Game

Let the amateurs keep playing with broken Facebook ad funnels and “free trial” bribes.

You’re going to walk away with marketing that punches through the noise.

Stuff like:

⚔️ Guerilla campaigns that hijack attention

⚔️ Messaging that makes people move

⚔️ Strategies that attract leads instead of chasing them

This isn’t theory.

It’s what we’re using to grow empires—and it’s yours now.

3️⃣ You’ll Learn How to Build It to Sell (Even If You Never Want to Sell It)

You’ve probably built yourself into a prison.

If you left for 2 weeks, your school would collapse.

That ends at RISE.

You’ll leave with a blueprint to:

✅ Systemize your operations

✅ Build a team that runs without you

✅ Position your business to be sold or scaled

✅ Create real freedom and real value

You stop being the bottleneck.

You start becoming a true owner.

Rave Reviews

"When We Hit Rock Bottom, Their Guidance Turned Everything Around."

Someone described the leadership team as trailblazers—and they nailed it.


These speakers are people you can count on. When challenges hit, they’re in your corner.

When I was at my lowest, listening to them and following their guidance turned things around.

Thank you all for what you do!

"$40K Months, Real Talk, and a Tribe That Feels Like Family!"

I’ve been in the business 21 years and was stuck in a rut—until I joined this event.


The speakers didn’t just talk—they created a space where I could be honest, open, and real.

I spoke about personal challenges I’d never shared before and felt like I was talking to 15 family members.

We’re now consistently grossing $40K/month, and for the first time, I have clarity and momentum.

Thank you to every single speaker who showed up and gave us their best.

"We're Set to Grow 30–40%—Thanks to This Powerhouse Team!"

- Enzo Aliotta

Martial Arts School Owner

"If You Want to Grow, This Is the Team to Trust."

We’ve been connected to the crew for a couple of years now, and after hearing from all the speakers at the event, we’re more impressed than ever.

If you’re looking to grow your martial arts school, this is an amazing organization with an amazing group of leaders.

"Switched to this team—Now Our Opt-ins and Paid Trials Are Exploding!"

We switched from an FCOM website to a Winterbourne-built one about a week ago. It’s already outperforming our expectations.


The speakers at the event delivered big time— opt-ins are up and paid trials are up in a big way.

If you haven’t yet, get in touch with their team. They know what they’re doing.

"RISE has made it possible to spread my love and passion for martial arts to others in my life and community."

- Nicholas Layne

We received too many stories to even use! The are just the tip of the iceberg.

"This will return your investment many times over. MABS has been a TRUE blesing form my school & life."

- Jim Rosenthal

Martial Arts School Owner

"This is truly inspiring. Our billing alone has increased $15k per month & is still climbing!"

- Joe Borucki

Martial Arts School Owner

"We’re Drowning in Leads—And It Took Barely Any Effort!"

We have had an absurd amount of people interested in classes.

A level that most people would go nuts if they had and we are dropping the ball by doing the most basic easiest things.

"One Campaign = A Flood of Appointments in One Day!"


Bro I got tons of appointments from that campaign today.

""I literally got powerful reviews for my business without asking for reviews!"

- Eric Levesque

Martial Arts School Owner

Hurry & grab your spot now!

"My business is on track for DOUBLING AGAIN!"

When I initially attended MABS, I was literally BLOWN AWAY with all the results based information & ready to use techniques I learned.


After implementing just a few of those techniques, my business doubled in less than 1 YEAR!


Well, after attending the next MABS the year after, expecting a similar experience, I was once again blown away by the caliber of presenters & the MODERN, RESULTS DRIVEN strategies they offered.


In the last 12 months my business is on track for DOUBLING AGAIN.


We went from 3 team members to 7 & are negotiating our 2nd location!


- Billy Reuter

- John Salama

If that’s you, then:

READY. SET. RISE.
