Not Your Average Martial Arts Center

Dylan Russell, Business Manager at Murray’s Martial Arts Centers, took a few minutes out of his day to tell us a little more about this one-of-a-kind martial arts center and the impressive online reputation they’ve managed to build.

To start our conversation, we asked Dylan what it is that sets Murray’s Martial Arts Centers apart from their competition in New York. Here’s what he had to say:

“We have been around for 30 years and have served the community for a long time. Our teachers are really awesome. We address people’s why instead of just teaching them karate. We try to make really well-rounded individuals.”

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at Murray’s Martial Arts Centers and how they give back and make the world a better place. Here’s Dylan’s response:

“We try to build confidence in each person and the feeling that they can do anything they want to do. They get to visually see their progress every day. We are boosting confidence in the community.”

Building Success by Under-Promising and Over-Delivering

When we asked Dylan about Murray’s Martial Arts Centers’ secret to such a strong online reputation, he said attributed it to their commitment to customer service and to always under-promising and over-delivering.

Outside of building the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, Murray’s Martial Arts Centers has spread the word about who they are and what they do through social media, which Dylan says also helps with their review game.

There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation Murray’s Martial Arts Centers has. Here’s the expert advice Dylan has for them:

“Don’t be afraid to ask for reviews; you have to hustle.”
