“We have been beyond thrilled with our experience at TM Martial Arts. The instructors are wonderful, and it is obvious that Master Harrison cares about all of his students. I love watching my son learn about martial arts and all the responsibilities that go along with it. This is a program that is focused on the whole person, and that is why we love it so much!” – Kathy J.
Not Your Average Martial Arts Center
Tim Harrison, the owner of TM Martial Arts, generously gave us a few minutes of his time to tell us about this one-of-a-kind business and its award-winning online reputation.
The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that sets TM Martial Arts apart from the many other martial arts centers in Illinois. Here’s Tim’s response:
“We always try to have our customer’s best interests in mind, and our focus is to develop people, not only in self-defense because that’s a really small part of it, but to help people develop in the areas of leadership, decision making and character development. We’re looking to help people become more well-rounded individuals. Of course, self defense is a big part of it, but the other areas are as well.”
We also wanted to know why they do what they do at TM Martial Arts and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Tim had to say:
“Our goal is to help as many people as we can to gain personal confidence, leadership skills, to help them to learn to contribute to the community and, of course, as I always say, to learn to defend themselves and have confidence in that area.”
Building Success by Keeping Customers’ Best Interests in Mind
When we asked Tim about TM Martial Arts’ secret to such a strong online reputation, he said:
“We always try to put forth our best effort and keep the best interests of our customers in mind.”
Outside of building the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, TM Martial Arts has spread the word about who they are and what they do through community involvement and word of mouth:
“We do live events. If there are different festivals, we’ll get a booth and a table, and that way, we get to meet people face-to-face. We occasionally have the opportunity to work with schools and do assemblies or, as they call it, gym teacher for a day, and work with the kids. If we have happy students, they tell other people about it.”
Clearly, Tim knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s his expert advice for the many other business owners out there:
“Do what you say you’re going to do. Have integrity; that’s part of martial arts that we stress. Talk to your customers, and if you have a happy customer, ask them if they care to share it in a review or something along those lines.”
Congratulations to the team at TM Martial Arts for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Tim, for taking the time to speak with us!
