Doug Bertrand's East West Martial Arts (360) 695-6845
THIS IS THE SAME DAY AS UFC 102 - JUST 20 MINUTES FROM DOUG BERTRAND’S SCHOOL - Rose Garden Arena, OR
When the history of mixed martial arts is written, two names will stand at the top of the heavyweight division - Randy "The Natural" Couture and Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira. But these two legendary former champions aren't thinking about the history books, they're looking to make another run at the UFC title, and to get there, they must face each other in the Octagon in the main event of UFC 102: Couture vs. Nogueira.
In the co-feature, two of the light heavyweight division's heaviest hitters collide, when perennial contender Keith "The Dean of Mean" Jardine takes on Brazilian powerhouse Thiago Silva.

In the first month we went from literally being last to first or second on Google's generic search for martial arts, mma, and karate, in our area. We have had 6 new lesson submission forms and enrolled 3 of them thus far. Out of the 3 we did enroll they brought 2 friends that joined as well. So far 5 new students directly from the website. Way above any expectations that I had!!!!!! Marco Ovalle, Circle of One, NY |

I have had a website with Renee for several months now. I have had tons of leads call in on a weekly basis from this site. Over the last couple of months I have people calling in every week for Birthday parties. In fact I received another Birthday party request from the website today. I do no advertising for the birthday parties other than the website, and I have been hosting Birthday parties almost every Saturday. Renee does an outstanding job. The proof is in the results. These websites work! Bryce Norton, Riverton Martial Arts |

Hello Renee
- I just wanted to send you a note to let you know that the web site is still producing results beyond what I expected.
This month of Feb so far, I have gotten six hits, four appointments and two signups from the site.
Thanks for your time and effort in putting the site up and for working with me.
I have had my site since Aug 2008 and it has been getting hits every month.
I had a previous site for a year and it did not get a single hit in the whole year and it was built and run by a well known organization and the investment was a whole lot more.
Thank you again,
Jonathan Stewart -

Hello Mr. Silva,
I wanted to touch base with you, and let you know how things are going. September is usually our most productive month, and this one is no exception. So far, we have 17 new students enrolled, and the hits just keep on coming. Just this afternoon, as I was about to start teaching, two parents called, within 4 minutes of each other, to inquire as to whether they could bring in their 4 yr. olds for introductory classes today. Both of these parents had found out about us from our website today. We signed two new students today, from the website. In the past 3-4 weeks, 75-80% of our prospects first viewed our website, before calling us.
More people than ever before are interested in booking Birthday parties with us, after viewing the information presented on the site. The response we're getting is unbelievable!

Mr. Silva,
I am so pleased with my new website that I thought it deserved it's own testimonial.
I wanted to let you know what a fantastic job Renee Helton has done for me on my
new school website. But now let me tell you what my site created by
Renee has done. My site that Renee built site had been up for just 2 1/2 days and
I already have 4 prospects in the aweber system receiving the auto responder letters and
signed up 2 students from the new website. I thought that I knew what I was doing but
Renee is the pro. Do yourself a HUGE FAVOR
and sign up for one of Renee's sites. I have tried the cheap way, didn't work, I have tried
the expensive way, didn't work too well, I spent countless hours working my old site for
over 2 years before it finally paid off decently. Please tell all UP clients not to spend the
ungodly amount of time that I spent to gain just decent results in my area, take the shortcut
to an incredible martial arts school website and sign up with Renee...SHE'S A BARGAIN!
Renee will patiently work with you but don't try to out think her, you do your job and let
Renee do hers, you'll be glad you did. Brian Wethington, Wesley Chapel Martial Arts |

| INCREDIBLE Success Story
Master Silva,
I just wanted to let you know what an awesome week we had and what an awesome start to our month we already have. This week my program director and I just finished teaching all day events at 3 local elementary schools and we collected about 250 names, addresses, phone #'s and e-mail addresses that we are going to follow up on this week. Today, Sunday, May 31st, we had a booth at a local community event and booked 34 introductory lessons for the next few weeks. We also did put on a demonstration with our Performance Team and added a new twist to the end. At the end we invited audience members to come up and participate in an interactive martial arts class right there and then. The only thing was that they needed their parent to fill out a permission slip in order to participate. At the end of the mini-class we let each participant break a board. The kids who did not participate in the lesson got so excited that they dragged their parents over to fill out a permission slip so they could break a board too. We collected over 30 names, addresses, phone #'s and e-mail addresses from our demo which we are going to follow up with this week.
I will follow-up with you at the end of the week with our exact totals, along with step-by-step instructions so that other UP members can duplicate the process.
God bless,
Jason Kifer
P.S. We have another school visit tomorrow where we should collect about 50 more names, addresses, phone #'s and e-mails. Plus we are having a buddy week this week.
