I currently train, teach, and help run the school I currently train at. When we opened, out school was smaller and slowly grew. We offered open mat on the weekends, free of charge with no mat fee. We didn't advertise this online due to our space limitations.
slowly, the one mat grew and in addition to many of the monthly paying members, others from an MMA school we branched off started coming over. Mostly word of mouth and more people started coming, friends of friends. Its getting to the point the mats are pretty crowded and people have to sit out
Because of this huge increase of bodies, its making things more difficult for people training. I especially value the experiences for people who are paying the monthly fee over non-paying visitors. I was thinking of starting to charge a mat fee for non-monthly paying students to visitors of open mat. Something small like $10-$15. what are your guys experiences and opinions of this?
