Overview
Dear Friend,
Maybe you’ve noticed our rapid growth?
Well, it seems like after 23-plus years — we’re an overnight success!
I want to let you in on a little “insider knowledge” about Mile High Karate®’s sudden explosion and let you know about several possible ways that you and your family can participate in our growth. First, Mile High Karate® is growing rapidly! Since I decided to embark on a growth plan, for the first time in 20 years allowing owner-operated franchised Mile High Karate® schools — backed up by extensive support and training by myself and my senior staff, we have grown dramatically. If school operations and ownership may be an option for your family, then read on about that opportunity...

You’re thinking, “come on …how can karate and martial arts teach wholesome values - and, success skills?” Well, I’m here to tell you, in more ways than you can begin to imagine.
My name is Stephen Oliver. I’m the owner of one of the most successful martial arts schools in the United States. “Stephen Oliver’s Mile High Karate” here in Colorado. For over 25 years , I’ve been nurturing children like yours with character building tools found only in karate. No other sport can match them. In the next few pages, I’m going to tell you how you and your child can sample all of this, and more. Free of Charge!!
Watch as your child increases in confidence, energy and spirit. Stand and be dazzled as he becomes unstoppable in his quest for…
Greater academic achievement.
Unshakable self respect.
Increased strength and fitness, in both body and mind.
And all of it comes while learning how to “kick, block, and punch.”
Look at it this way. Your child’s first and biggest challenge comes not from “fighting for his rights on the street,” or “beating up the neighborhood bully.” It comes, instead, from battling more sinister forces.
Your child’s own fears and self doubts:
The question is, how do you get your child to fight these demons? You know the problem. Your child has a tough time even telling you she’s haunted by them. Never mind how she might conquer them.
Well, the good news is, I have a proven solution. A program that has already worked for over 10,000 children. A series of lessons your child can learn easier than you think.
I call it, “Kids With Kick.” Let me tell you it’s secret:
To repeat, Martial Arts are less about your child learning to fight others, and more about fighting…himself. His innermost fears. Conquer them, and your child unleashes within himself a powerful, unstoppable force. A force that gives him the strength to kick down the doors of his own self doubts, A force that opens your child to the exalting power of values. In other words, when your child uses the discipline of karate to conquer his fears, he has power to transfer that discipline to all other areas of his life. I know of no other sport that does this better than karate. (I should know. Remember, I’ve been teaching it for 25 years.)

Training & Support
Many of the existing school owners worried about
several potential obstacles before joining our team. Do you share their concerns?
First, they really didn’t know much about the marketing, sales, administration or even teaching organization of a martial arts school. Mile High Karate® is one of the top schools in North America because we have mastered each of those functions. Our training program and support materials cover every aspect of school operations very effectively and thoroughly.
Second, the prospective school owners are not even martial arts students. Again, with our martial arts “bootcamp,” we solve that knowledge gap. Additionally, in many cases we have high-ranked Black Belts as potential staff for new school.
You are not required to be a Black Belt or even to have previous martial arts training to become an owner-operator. We will assist with training you for every aspect of school operation, and either train you to be a certified Mile High Karate® teacher or help you find Black Belt staff to work with your school operation.
Incredible levels of on-going support:

Why Mile High Karate?
Karate, or kara te, meaning “empty hand,” is a centuries-old means of self-defense that uses
all parts of the body to their maximum advantage. But more than simply being dynamic body
movements, karate is the ability to coordinate mind over body, allowing the unleashing of
tremendous mental and physical power at will, no matter what your size or strength.
Karate was first taught in the United States in 1955. Since then, hundreds of thousands of people have been introduced to its many benefits — but that barely scratches the surface of the opportunity Mile High Karate® presents in America today.
As a Mile High Karate® franchisee, you’ll be part of the $10.6 billion health and fitness facility industry, a category that has grown to 30 million individual participants in the U.S. alone. The U.S. Martial Arts Association estimates that just 6 million people have experienced the martial arts in one form or another — barely 2 percent of the population. That means enormous opportunity for growth, especially given the increased interest in finding new and better ways for Americans to attain better health.

Are You a Good Fit for Mile High Karate?
We can certainly walk you through every cost and give you
some thoughts on how to
finance your start-up if
necessary. The typical startup
investment ranges from $82,400 to
$175,100, depending upon a variety of
factors. Most of our existing operators
financed this investment through second
mortgages, friends and family investments,
savings and bank loans or lines of credit.
I hope that you will consider exploring this
opportunity more thoroughly if you are ready
to plunge into an exciting new career that
combines community impact and an
incredible amount of fun.
