SEMINARS TIMEFRAMES

A Seminars typical length is 2 hours and 30 minutes. If a host requests a difference in timing, please let us know. This can be easily accommodated.

DOUBLE SEMINAR PACKAGES

As you noticed from above, Mr. Severn has multiple seminars. If you are requesting for him to come in to your location, why not do two in one day?

After the first seminar, Mr. Severn requests a 30 minute break for participants to take a personal photo, autographs, etc. Then after the break is over, it’s time for “continuing education.” Hosts really enjoy this as it’s easier to market. Someone may not be able to make it to the first seminar, so they sign up for the second… or, there can be a package deal to attend both seminars. The great thing about this is the fact that it’s brand new instruction in the second seminar, and you don’t have to attend the first one to know what is going on.

It’s double the training, at no extra risk. Meaning, there is no charge for that second seminar. See PRICING for those details.

FUN FOR ALL AGES

At our training facility in Michigan, we receive these same questions:

* What is the age limit?

* Do you have to be a beginner?

* I don’t want to fight, I just want to learn… is this okay?

Dan Severn has made his training for everyone, but still involves learning the skills necessary for competition. At the beginning of each seminar, he does explain that if you need to take a break, or sit out for a few minutes… no big deal. He is not there to break anyone, but to teach. This is essential in marketing to your students. The training is for everyone. If you have a large amount of younger children interested in learning some of the skills in MMA, we request that be held in a separate timeframe. This will keep a good flow going of all seminars.

PRICING

The fee for an MMA Seminar is $1,500 + trans/hotel (or $500 extra for Mr. Severn’s office to make those arrangements). Meals are also appreciated.

Pending on what you are looking to charge your students or the community, here is a quick chart:

$2,000 divided by $100 = 20 students

$2,000 divided by $75 = 27 students

$2,000 divided by $50 = 40 students

The second seminar pricing is simply, just a 50/50 split of what you make on that seminar. Hosts really enjoy this aspect, as it’s extra training without a dime coming out of their pocket for it.

A 25% Non Refundable fee is requested to hold the date of the seminar.

TESTIMONIALS

My name is Allie Alberigo and I am a career martial artist training since the age of three years old with 43 years of martial art experience. I also run L.I. Ninjutsu Centers a highly successful martial art school for 20 years teaching traditional Ninjutsu and Ju Jutsu. Throughout my career, I have had many amazing teachers come to my schools for seminars. One of the best seminars I have ever hosted was Dan Severn. Dan is not only a UFC Champion, an amazing wrestler, but he is also a gentlemen and an amazing teacher. You see I have had people come to my school that are great fighters, champions and even some Hollywood Celebrities but what makes the seminar amazing is the connection the teacher has with the students. Mr. Severn is everything you need to host one of the best seminars ever. Trust me, we have had him to my school many times and the students keep coming back. That is a true sign that he leaves an impact. If you have any questions do not hesitate to call me at 1 888 LININJA or email me at Kyoshi@lininja.com
