Pleading Self Defense: The Martial Artist’s Business Card

Martial arts offer young children and adults alike a focused workout with the benefit of learning self defense. Martial arts trainers and teachers must be qualified, experienced and able to share their talents and skill with their students. The martial artist’s business card should be informative sharing details on styles, techniques, venues and competitions.

Use the back of the martial arts instructor’s business card to list any tournaments, fees or schedules associated with your business. Be sure to keep to the bare bones of any seasonal schedule to avoid misinformation. Alternately, if you have a teaching philosophy or teach a particular brand of martial arts the reverse side of the business card would be a good place to explain things.

Echo the color schemes of your business and uniforms on your martial art teacher business card. Branding is important in any type of business. Using the same color scheme and font styles on all brochures, apparel, giveaways, signs and business cards helps to build your brand and make you an instantly recognizable name in your area. Take the time to proofread the wording on your card before sending to the online printer.

Consider ordering at least 1000 business cards in order to receive a price break as well as a shipping discount. Think about getting fold over cards, magnetic cards and even sticker sheet versions of your business card to increase your business exposure. If you sell merchandize at your gym, sticker sheet cards are the ideal finishing touch to packaging.

Distribute the martial art instructor’s business card to students and their parents. Keep a pile in the club house or classroom for potential students to take after observing a class. Always take a few cards to demonstrations and networking events to hand out to fellow trainers and teachers. If you create a brochure for your company or classes, attach a business card to the back cover.
