Okami Ryu Do Bujutsu | Application Preview
Okami Ryu Do Bujutsu is seeking government grants to fund an anti-bullying martial arts program for 20 children, which will provide a year of training focused on fitness, teamwork, discipline, and assault prevention. The funding will cover training costs, uniforms, and advancement opportunities, addressing the pressing issue of bullying among youth.
The business plan emphasizes the self-sustaining nature of martial arts, where student enrollment translates into community involvement and growth. The instructor has successfully managed a large school with 175 active students, indicating strong potential for expanding this program.
The application highlights the urgent need for effective anti-bullying measures, as children face bullying both in person and online. Through martial arts, participants can develop self-respect, discipline, and conflict resolution skills, empowering them to handle challenging social situations.
In the competitive landscape, the business distinguishes itself from three local competitors. These competitors either follow rigid curricula that do not adapt to individual students, focus solely on competitive sports without adequate self-defense training, or fail to teach their styles properly.
The competitive edge lies in the instructor's extensive experience, holding a 7th degree black belt and having taught over 5,000 students, primarily children. The program emphasizes personalized learning, allowing students to thrive while addressing their unique strengths and weaknesses. The instructor and their family are committed to bringing out the students’ hidden potential through martial arts training.

Business Plan
Martial arts is a business which grows upon itself. The more students attending, the more they bring in and, by word of mouth, the community becomes involved. I have ran a large martial arts school with 175 active students. This program would allow many possibilities for growth within the business and in the life of those attending. Our children are constantly experiencing bullying in person, and even cyberbullying through social media etc. A good martial arts foundation not only strengthens the body, but the mind as well. It allows self-respect, discipline, situational brainstorming, and self-control to become a part of the individual's life. Martial arts teaches conflict resolution to the student, helping them to make the best decisions possible in situations such as bullying and peer pressure.

Self Identified Competition
My top three competitors teach varying martial arts from my own. One teaches a very robotic exact curriculum to every student. They all look the same or do not last there long. The second school teaches a competitive sport curriculum that does not teach adequate self defense or life skills. The third school teaches many styles in which they are not properly taught to instruct. I have been an active artist or instructor for 40 years. I am a 7th degree black belt. I have had over 5,000 students of which most have been children. I feel that students, though needing a curriculum as a guide, should be more individualized to portray their strengths as they work on their weaknesses. They should be provided opportunities to gain friendship, discover their hidden abilities in the arts, compete, and even teach what they have learned to others. I, along with my daughter, and brother, bring martial arts to these students to uncover potential they never knew they had.
