Why most martial arts miss out
Martial arts is style-specific (BJJ, Muay Thai, karate, taekwondo, MMA) — generic 'martial arts' content misses every targeted searcher.
Kids vs. adults are completely different buyers — most studios blend their content and rank weakly for both.
Most studios under-promote competition results and instructor credentials, losing the high-intent serious-student searcher.
