When a student becomes eligible to teach the Karate Connection material, we will help him or her in the organizing and operating of a school or youth outreach program in their area.

Using our experience and expertise we have prepared a complete manual and a battery of aids that will allow you to structure and operate a program in your community that's a win, win, win, win proposition. The children in your area win, their parents win, the community at large wins and you win.                              

This is a low cost program that involves you teaching at local school, church, boys or girls club or YMCA facility. We will guide your every step in getting such a program started and running. You will have an affiliation with the International Karate Connection Association which will allow you to teach the material, test the students and promote them using Karate Connection Certificates. You will have the ability to purchase all Karate Connection merchandise, including Videos at wholesale prices and use your affiliation with the Association in the promotion of your program.

We highly recommend the program described above as a very lucrative entry into the business of teaching the Martial Arts but if you are convinced that opening a commercial Karate School is for you, we will guide you in the best way we possibly could. A book on the subject has already been written and published.

It was written with a knowledge and insight unequaled by most people in the industry today. It's much more than a book; it's more like a college education on the subject. If you are interested in running a commercial Studio contact us and we’ll be happy to discuss it with you.

The use of this book will guide you to be a success in the business end of having a Karate Studio. And your affiliation with the IKCA will guide you to succeed in the teaching and training of your students to the highest possible standards. It's an unbeatable combination when thinking of a commercial Studio.

If you are now an individual member and wish to convert to a school membership we will be happy to assist you. If you are not currently an individual member and are taking out a school membership, you will receive of the items necessary for the individual membership as well.

The school plaque is ten-by-fourteen inches shown here in a fifteen-by-nineteen inch frame (frames not included).

The School Association receives another creed, a glossy 8xlO color photo of the founders of the Karate Connection, Chuck Sullivan and Vic LeRoux, another patch for your uniform and the youth-outreach program package which details everything you need to run a program.

There are also other materials that are not shown such as a manila envelope full of printed examples of letters to be submitted to prospective sponsors, flyer templates and a myriad of other tools to help you start and run your business.

Since the founding of the IKCA in 1993 we have been adding materials to the School Package. Pictured above is what the first members received, pictured below are items that have been added to the School Membership in the interim. The original School Members have also received them (at no additional cost) when they became available. Now they are part of the package. If more items are added in the future you will receive them as well.
