Case Study: How Duane Brumitt More Than Doubled Tri-Star Martial Arts in a Single Month

Duane Brumitt owns Tri-Star Martial Arts Academy in Bradley, Illinois. His story with Stephen Oliver’s Martial Arts Wealth Mastery program comes down to one remarkable month: his normal gross was about $19,000, and the June he actually implemented the systems, he did $47,000 — more than double his usual month.

Starting Point

Tri-Star Martial Arts Academy was grossing about $19,000 in a normal month. That is a workable school — but like many owners at that level, Duane was leaving significant revenue on the table simply because the systems that capture it were not yet in place. The question was not whether the demand existed in his market; it was whether the business was built to convert it.

What Changed

Through Martial Arts Wealth Mastery, Duane committed to full implementation — not cherry-picking one or two ideas, but putting the whole framework to work: marketing systems that generate a steady flow of prospects, a professional enrollment process, pricing and tuition strategy that captures the real value of the program, and retention systems that keep students training. Coaching accountability from Stephen Oliver’s team pushed him to execute everything at once rather than gradually — and the payoff showed up immediately.

The Results

The June Duane implemented everything, Tri-Star Martial Arts Academy grossed $47,000 against a normal month of about $19,000 — more than two and a half times his typical gross, in a single month. As Duane puts it, the cost of the program barely registers next to that kind of return. Individual results vary.

“My normal gross was about $19,000, and that June — the month I actually implemented everything — I did $47,000. The investment is peanuts compared to the money you’re going to make.” — Duane Brumitt, Tri-Star Martial Arts Academy
