About Mike Massie

Back in 2003 I wrote Small Dojo Big Profits because I was dissatisfied with the business information that was currently available in the martial arts industry.

Since then I've been helping studio owners build lasting, satisfying careers doing what they love... teaching martial arts.

Let's build the school of your dreams, today.
