Frequently Asked Questions

What should martial arts school surveys focus on?

Instruction quality, progression satisfaction, safety, dojo culture and NPS. For kids' programs, add parent-specific questions about their child's progress and enjoyment.

How do surveys help martial arts schools retain students?

Progression perception is the #1 retention driver. Students who feel they are advancing stay. Monthly surveys catch the "plateau feeling" early so instructors can adjust training.

Should I survey parents separately for kids' programs?

Yes. Parents have different concerns (safety, character development, progress) than adult students. Use separate surveys with parent-specific questions and analytics.
