Description
The information between these covers can make your dojo stand out from the crowd. World-class karate champion and athlete, James Giuliano, shares his personal experiences and business strategies for his Karate schools. He will guide you to provide better karate classes and superior processes to ensure your school will have a strong point of difference from other karate schools. Instead of winging it on the day, James will show you how to have a plan in place to help students reach their desired destination in the best possible way. Karate is the tool we use to have a common interest with a student, allowing us to connect with them and teach the core aspects of karate including respect, focus and discipline. Passion for Karate provides the How. Focus, determination and persistence provide the foundation of the ethos of James Giuliano’s life. An early introduction to these attributes is key to seeing the skills learnt through his Karate career influence his achievements and everyday life. Starting at age 6, in a local Karate dojo with his brothers, ‘just for fun’, little did James know the shape his life would take through and from the sport of Karate. His decision to pursue Karate led James to a 28-year career that has seen him become a world-class athlete, train and compete internationally with many revered trainers and medal in countless tournaments and championships. James featured on the competitive circuits, winning the Italian and U.S Open Championships in 2014 and claiming his 10th Australian Championship title in 2016. As life progressed and his passion for Karate continued to flourish into a serious career path, James applied the skills learnt through his sport into real life. From his determination at the age of 15 to have an impact on the Karate competition scene, to his passion to make a difference and inspire others: James is now the proud founder of a Melbourne based Karate school, this passion-turned-career now sees him imparting his knowledge and skills gained throughout his life with more than 300 students. Through this journey of establishing his Karate school and developing age-appropriate programs, James’ teaching philosophy and beliefs have evolved into one that centres on connection and meaningful interaction with his students. James focuses on developing confidence, self-belief and resilience through Karate and he has combined this with a systematic business approach to his teachings – the key to success, always being prepared for what lies ahead. James has a depth of knowledge, experience and insights to share with the world through this book, and if that is not enough of a reason to read it following one person’s journey to success through sheer determination is.
