Real Stories From Real Schools Using Community Connections
Community Connections is changing the way martial arts schools do business, both online and inside their own communities. Instead of chasing cold internet leads, school owners are turning the local businesses they already trust into a steady flow of families who arrive ready to enroll, while their websites climb in search and AI results at the same time.
The idea is not new to us. The system was designed by our founder, Tracy Lee Thomas, who first ran it inside the small chain of martial arts schools he opened in 1991 and owned until 2024. Back then he called it the Partners Program, and it filled his own schools with families sent by trusted local businesses. Today we have rebuilt it for the modern web, and it is offered exclusively by Go2 Karate and Rev Marketing. You will not find it anywhere else.
Here are just a few stories from current clients in their own words.

"A $12,000 paid-in-full account walked in three days after we launched."
I'll be honest, I didn't expect results this fast. We turned on our Community Connections page and connected with a local dentist office in our area as one of 9 community businesses. Three days later, a family walked into my school and told me the dentist had sent them. They didn't shop around, they didn't ask about trial classes, they signed up paid in full, a $12,000 account, on the spot.
That one connection more than paid for everything. Community Connections turned a business I already trusted into a steady source of families who trust me before they ever walk in the door. Thank you so much to Go2 Karate and their Team.

"10 connections, 37 new leads, and 29 enrollments in our first 30 days."
We set up ten Community Connection businesses in our community right out of the gate, daycares, a chiropractor, a couple of local favorites, and the first month spoke for itself. We met each one on a separate meeting with Go2 Karate.
We brought in 37 additional leads and enrolled 29 of them in just 30 days. These weren't cold internet leads either. They came from businesses that are working with us and trust us. So, they showed up ready to join and that trust was already there.
If you run a school and you're wondering whether this actually works, well it works. Go2 Karate has changed out lives. We've never had a faster start to a month. This year will be GREAT!

"Our website traffic tripled and our leads doubled."
I pulled up our monthly marketing report and had to read it twice. Since launching our Community Connections page, the traffic to our Go2 Karate website has tripled and the leads coming in through the site have doubled.
I messaged the team right away because I couldn't believe the numbers. What I love is that it keeps working in the background. The connections we built are sending us families and strengthening our website at the same time, every single day.
This is the best return we've ever seen from anything we've done online.

A Personal Message From Our Founder
Why I Built Community Connections
Hello, and thank you for being here.
My name is Tracy Lee Thomas, and I want to tell you why this matters so much to me. I opened my first martial arts school in 1991, and my wife and I ran a small chain of them until we sold the last one in 2024. I know what it feels like to pour everything into a school, to teach the early classes and lock up late at night, and to wonder how to reach more families in your community. I lived that for more than thirty years.
Somewhere along the way, I discovered something simple that changed everything. The families I wanted were already being served by businesses right around me, the daycare down the street, the dentist, the chiropractor, the church. When those businesses knew me and trusted me, they sent families my way, and those families walked in already believing in what we do. Back then I called it my Partners Program, and it grew my schools faster than any ad ever did.
Community Connections is that same idea, rebuilt for today's web and powered by everything we have learned about search, AI, and local marketing. As a Navy veteran, an 8th-degree Black Belt, and someone who has stood exactly where you are standing, I built this to give back to the school owners who trust us. It is our honor to hand it to you, free, and to walk beside you every step of the way.
I cannot wait to see your school become the most connected, most trusted name in your community.
With gratitude,
Tracy Lee Thomas

Frequently Asked Questions
A Few Common Community Connection FAQ Questions and Answers
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Nothing. It is completely free. This is a courtesy we extend to our current clients as our way of giving back to the schools that trust us with their platform.
No. Community Connections is offered only to current Go2 Karate and Rev Marketing clients who maintain a minimum standard of service. It is not available to every client, and it is not available to the public. That is part of what makes it valuable.
Daycares, private schools, churches, and really any business in your community can work well. The ones that perform best for martial arts schools are businesses with a large base of families, because that is exactly where your future students already are. Strong examples include daycares, pediatricians, dentists, chiropractors, dance and gymnastics studios, churches, private schools, and family restaurants.
There is no limit. Many owners begin with five or ten, but you are welcome to feature as many quality local businesses as you like. The more strong connections you build, the more your community sees your school at the center of it.
It is simple, and we are with you the whole way. First, you choose a few local businesses you trust. Next, you invite each one to a short conversation using your booking link. Then Go2 Karate and Rev Marketing meet with you and that business together, and we build the connection right onto your website so your whole community can see it.
No. You are never on your own. Go2 Karate and Rev Marketing sit in and lead the meeting with you and your community business together, so the conversation is handled with care and professionalism.
Yes. You make the first friendly contact and invite them to pick a time using your booking link. Book A Meeting. If you are not sure what to say, we provide a free downloadable resource with the exact words to use, so it is easy even if you have never done this before.
We have you covered. You will receive a free downloadable resource kit with simple scripts and talking points written for you. There is nothing to memorize and no experience needed. Most owners find the words come naturally once they see how friendly and welcome the conversation is.
The meeting with you and your community business takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Go2 Karate and Rev Marketing lead the conversation, so it stays easy and productive for everyone.
Yes. You are welcome to offer Community Connections as a paid monthly service to the businesses you feature. Your consultant can walk you through how to set that up and what to charge, so the growth you create can also become income for your school.
Every business on your page serves families, and those families trust the businesses they already use. When a daycare or a dentist points those families toward your school, you gain warm, local prospects who arrive already trusting you. It is word of mouth, working for you online and in person, all year long.
Yes. Two trusted local businesses linking to each other tells search engines that your school is a real, established part of your community, which improves how you rank. And because your page is built in a clear question-and-answer format, AI tools and AI overviews can pull from it when families search for a school like yours. Together, this helps your website outperform your competitors' sites in your area.
There is no catch. It is a loyalty page that shows our appreciation and helps accelerate your growth. This is simply our way of saying thank you to the clients who trust us with their platform. We build it, we guide every step, and we ask for nothing in return.
Just reach out and let us know you are ready. Share a few local businesses you would like to feature, download your free resource kit, and we will take it from there. In a few short minutes you can set in motion something that helps your school grow all year.
