Running Multiple Martial Arts Schools: What Actually Works

Most school owners hit a wall the moment they try to grow past one location. The systems that got you here, the ones held together by you being everywhere at once, stop working at scale. Suddenly you're putting out fires instead of building anything. Culture slips. Quality slips. And the second school starts dragging down the first.

Omar Kadi figured out how to break through that wall. A BJJ black belt under Marcelo Garcia and a two-time IBJJF World Champion, he co-founded Glory Martial Arts Center and grew it into 4 locations across Brooklyn, Staten Island, and Queens. It's one of the fastest-growing martial arts communities in NYC, and he built it while keeping the culture and coaching that made the first location work.

In this session, Omar pulls back the curtain on what it actually takes to run more than one school. No theory. The real playbook, including what he'd do differently.

What you'll learn:

• How to build systems that hold up across multiple locations, without you in the room
• Why retention, not marketing, is the real engine behind sustainable growth
• How to build a community students don't want to leave
• How to hire, develop, and hold coaches accountable when you can't be everywhere
• What broke along the way, and how Omar fixed it
