What is Black Belt Schools International?
|
BBSI is an association of independent martial arts schools. The concept was first introduced in 1992 as Black Belt Schools of America by United Professionals Inc. The goal was to have a professional organization to help promote the benefits of martial arts training and to help professionalize instructors and schools alike. There are standards of operation for our members to live by in order to offer the best in training and training facilities.
With BBSI you keep the autonomy of your school yet you will be part of a greater network called Black Belt Schools International. This means you don’t lose control of how you desire to independently run your school. But you have the advantage of linking arms with hundreds of schools in many countries. |
7 reasons why BBSI membership makes sense
1. Expand Your Network with Like-Minded Martial Arts Professionals.
In business, who you know is often as important as what you know. Developing professional relationships with others in our industry is a great way to share ideas.
2. Learn New Skills and Gain Valuable Professional Experience.
Our ever expanding systems vault will give you a massive resource of business knowledge.
3. Get the Lowdown on Professional Development Opportunities You Otherwise Wouldn’t Know About.
You’ll have a better shot at finding serious professionals within Black Belt Schools International. Members are truly professional, insured, they do back around checks and drug testing of employees
4. Give Your Reputation a Lift.
When you’re an official member of an exclusive association, you’ll want to communicate it to peers, prospects and members that you are part of an International Association and have networking capabilities in several countries.
5. Create a Name for Yourself.
Have you ever thought you’d be a good leader—but leadership just doesn’t jibe with your choice to be a solopreneur? Black Belts Schools International is the perfect place to cultivate that instinct to serve others. You can contribute and even apply to speak or teach at our events.

6. Find (Or Be) a Mentor.
We all need someone to turn to sometimes. While we’re sure your partner, friends and mom dispense excellent advice, they are no match for a like-minded business person who’s been there. There’s perhaps no better place to find a professional with years of experience and who’s seen it all than within the industry.
7. Be Exposed to Industry Trends.
It’s tricky to stay abreast of what’s new in our industry when you’re absorbed with the day-to-day management of your school/business. Sure, the internet and social media help, but there are only so many hours in a day to devote to hunting down interesting ways to improve the way you work. One of the roles of BBSI is to help its members stay on top of industry trends.
