I am working on writing a new book and am in need of as many resources as possible. I am offering a free month of unlimited classes for new students if you bring in a martial arts book for me! It does not need to be new. As long as it’s in decent condition and readable, you get the month free! It also must be a book I do not currently have.
Simply contact me with the book you would like to donate, and I will let you know if I have it already or not. If not, and it’s readable, you will get yourself a free month on unrestricted classes! No strings attached! I won’t even make you do a registration fee, nor buy anything, nor sign any contracts. Just drop off the book, sign the waiver, and enjoy a month of classes! This is a $125 program for a book you no longer need. You can even go out and buy a $15 book and bring it in. It’s that easy.
