The Martial Arts - an overview of the fighting arts

 

As far as I know school resources is something of a must whether you run your own school or martial arts institute, or you take part in a non-profit club or organization. Things to improve your business and/or your art should be of interest - am I right?

On this page, and the following pages I will introduce you to various services and "stuff" (or "things") that I personally have tried, and found helpful one way or another.

This can be web services, web-building software, photo-resources, DVD, CD-ROM's, books etc. on how to operate schools, to improve teaching and instruction skills aso. It can also be seminars, software, services and other websites related to the martial arts business and "industry".

If there is anything in particular that you miss, or would like to find here, please feel free to contact us!

Naturally you will find some of these things grouped together on other main pages. If you look at it this way: The whole site here is dedicated to the Martial Arts resources theme, so it may be no surprise that things could be mentioned more than one place! I guess it can't hurt to talk about positive stuff?

Things that has to do with teaching the arts will of course be found on this page: For Teachers. Equipment (training equipment, weapons, protective gear etc.) will be found here: Equipment (big surprise :-). And again, if you don't find what you're looking for, do drop me a note, and I'll see what I can do!

For the office:

VistaPrint.com - Custom Printing!

Here's a really great online place for all printed matters: Vistaprint.com. Unbeatable prices - you can even get yourself nice business cards for free! I use them myself, and they come higly recommended!

If you wish to test them out I recommend you try their free business cards first, and take it from there! They have rubber stamps, magnets - and of course all kinds of printed matters :-)

Consider this: We print stuff at the office or at home all the time. Using our desk-top printer we make special invitations, flyers, class schedules, hand-outs, information to parents, pictures and so on.

Now, today the printers themselves are not the biggest investment in the long run. What tend to be costly is the ink or toner cartridges. I have found that this is an area where web-based companies beat the prices of your average office-depot every singel time. Why? Because that is basically all the do - selling printer ink and toner online.

So if you wish to save yourself or your school a lot of money - get online now! One place I personally recommend you check out is myink.com, a great place to start. They offer up to 80% off Printer Ink.

Creating and writing books and e-books:

PDF Secrets: PDF Problems Solved 

The pdf-format from Adobe is widely accepted as the absolute best way to deliver documents in electronic form, such as e-books.

If you consider making manuals, special reports, flyers, invitations (to openings, seminars etc.), then the way to go is pdf!

One small (for some, major) problem is that the original Acrobat program is costly (to say the least). Even if you can purchase the program at a school discount it is rather expensive. But the good news is: You can do without it.

How does it sound to be able to use free pdf utilities (plus Microsoft Word or similar, like Open Office - also free) to create really professional looking pdf documents, or even whole books (hey, why not create that book you always dreamt of making)?

Personally I use the methods outlined in this great book to create my e-books, articles, invitations etc. I highly recommend you check it out. Go directly to the website by clicking here, or read more on my sister-site (click here)

How to Write and Publish Your Ebook (in as little as seven days) 

Two of the most well-known and well respected figures on the Internet "scene" are Jim Edwards and Joe "Mr. Fire" Vitale.

Here they join forces to bring you: "How to Write and Publish Your Own Ebook - in as little as 7 days." And a great guide it is, particularly when it comes to the actual prosess of writing!

Take the 7 days claim with a pinch of salt :-) But is it a hype that you can do it, and bring out that "author in you"? Absolutely not. You can do it - as long as you know how. As the authors are stating: "If you can talk - you can write"! And that's the topic of the book: How to bring out that voice in you.

There are many good reasons why you should consider going down the e-book avenue. Mainly because it takes away most of the obstacles normally involved in regular paper book publishing.

Looking for a way to get that martial arts manual or self-defense book out? Read more about this book here and find out! It is a perfect partner to "The PDF Problem Solved"...

Web services and issues:

Instant DIY Websites 2005: Create Websites The Easy Way!

You may have heard the term "over-deliver"? If not, then look no further than to Nicolaas D. Theron and his brilliant "Instant DIY Websites 2005" (click here to learn more!)

First of all this is really moderately priced (very much so, too cheap really!). Nicolaas is also a very friendly and service- minded person to deal with.

He shows you, with easy to follow videos, how to make your website from scratch. It is so easy that anyone can do it (yes, I do mean anyone!).

He even supplies you with the software you need, nice templates, a wealth of very nice bonuses. Not only that, but he'll make you videos on demand, free of charge, if there is something you need to know! How is that for customer support :-)?

You do not need to know anything about html to make great sites, and have them up and running in no time.

He'll show you how to set up with ClickBank, add scripts, insert autoresponder forms etc. Like I said, this guy really over-delivers! Check it out today!

Graphic programs and services:

DIY Web Graphics 2005 - easy and fun - creates stunning results! 

I have used (and continue to use) the truly brilliant: "Instant DIY Websites 2005" (featured above).

Here's another winner from Nicolaas D. Theron: "DIY Web Graphics 2005" (click here to check it out).

Both of these packages are very, very simple to use. With the program here I produced a professional looking e-book cover in no time at all! And mind you, this can be really tricky, even if you know how!

The best part is this: You are shown how it's done in easy and highly do-able steps (using video, text and pictures!), plus he gives you some very fine templates that makes it all a breeze. Boy, would I have saved some time if I'd found out about this a little earlier!

And If only all do-it-yourself stuff was as inspiring and easy to use as this, this is simpy inspiring to watc even if you don't plan to use it :-)

I can guarantee that you will find an outstanding customer support provided by Nicolaas D. Theron - a remarkably knowledgable, professional and friendly person! Again, Nicolaas over-delivers! Check it out here!
