Martial Arts Resumes: Studio Websites

The Internet has been available for public use for years now. As a 25 year old, I am old enough to remember the days when the only way to get online was with a dial-up modem. When I was a hyperactive youngster (verses the somewhat less hyper young adult I am today), my family had a computer from the 80's. It had no Internet browser, no video card, no LAN (Local Area Network), no USB (Universal Security Bus) Port, and no mouse. I can hear the gasps of shock from the younger people of my generation.

Now that we have all these things, martial arts studios have sent us their resumes. Have you ever created a resume? You put down all the good stuff about yourself: your academic accomplishments, your hobbies, and your work experience, just to name a few. You don't put down the bad stuff: "I was coached during my last job," "I prefer to work at my own pace," "I failed two coarses at Sumold University." No, you want your prospective employer to consider you and, ultimately, hire you.

Martial arts studio websites do the same thing. There are two martial arts studios in my area, and both have websites: The Kung Fu Center and Villari's Studio of Self Defense.
