My First Ad Promoting NAPMA in 1994

From John Graden: When I created NAPMA in 1994, I knew no more than 10% of martial arts schools would be pro-active in joining to get the information that would help them improve their schools. In order to reach the other 90% of schools, I created Martial Arts Professional magazine which I mailed at no charge to nearly 25,000 schools every month. The magazine never made money, but it was my way of giving back to the martial arts that have been so good to me.

NAPMA has been bought and sold a couple for times since then and bears no resemblance to what I created. Since 2004, I’ve been serving the profession in a more effective manner here with the Martial Arts Teachers’ Association at www.MartialArtsTeachers.com.

Now, as we enter a new decade, MATA enters a new era as well. This location will now be home to our new multi-media blog full of the latest information and news. Our membership site has moved to a new location with a new platform that makes it easier than ever to access your membership benefits.

Please bookmark: MartialArtsSchoolOwners.com as the new location of the MATA Members’ Only area. MartialArtsTeachers.com will continue to be a great source of information but will only scratch the surface of what MartialArtsSchoolOwners.com offers.
