Telling stories is a great way to get your message across, so I have decided to give it a try. My story starts out in the Martial Arts; however, it ends in dance, gymnastics and every other business model you can think of. So how should I start my story? I was playing with the idea of skipping the once upon a time part? But then I thought every person you and I know that has ever cared about us and has always had our best interest at heart, probably started every story for us with the words once, upon a time.
So here goes. Once upon a Masters Time, a Master saw a need to create something so new for an industry he loved, the martial arts, so in the year 1996 along with his student and partner Dr. Ron Valli began working on a website that would be dedicated to all styles of martial arts and their practitioners.
The World Wide Web was relatively new about that time and so we began. It was November of that year the martial arts network online was born. It wasn’t long before the word was out all over the world that there now exists a website for martial artists dedicated to all styles. It was great to see all the emails roll in from all over the world. Then it happened! In 1997 I decided to create a cable television network with another student Mr. Tony Interdonato. In those years there were only 50 or so channels but there had been the talk of a new cable television system looking to launch with the promise of hundreds of channels. It looked to us that the timing was right and with the website doing so well getting over one million hits a month we could possibly make this work. We packed up everything that year and attended our first Cable Television Show in New Orleans. For years after that, we would attend all the cable television shows each year. One year later we would move our offices from Boca Raton to Universal Studios here in Florida. We stayed there for seven years conducting network business. It was a very exciting time in which so many things took place. We started a publicly-traded company called TMANglobal, built websites in support of both the network and the publicly traded company, we even opened an office in Thailand on a trip we took in an effort to find suppliers for the network. Wesley Snipes in a letter committed to a million dollar cash infusions for the network. We were happy with the idea this was really happening right up to 911 from here things started to slow down. I still feel this is a great idea, we will have to see what the future holds. If I can make this happen I will.
My newest project is the Virtual Competitions Online, in 2015 I had this idea I thought what if I could create a tournament on the internet. If I could create a website that could host tournaments online then schools all over the world would be able to use it. This could even bring in that extra cash for school owners. You see, school owners then and now still need what I call the big three, cash flow, student acquisitions, and marketing. The platform would address all of these needs.
I remember some of the first thoughts I had. What would this website have to look like? How would we judge events? How do the schools owners make money? What about prizes? Then reality set in. Ron, what are you thinking? For centuries martial arts tournaments all over the world have been done in any venue that could be found. Most of the times they were in hot dirty not so safe or convenient locations, but let me tell you, these were great times! Great friends! And the memories will stay with us for a lifetime. What was I thinking? How could I compete with that? Was I barking up the proverbial wrong tree? What was I doing trying to change the way things had been done forever? Then it hit me, I didn’t have to change a thing.
We were going to enhance it. Today the martial arts community along with dance, gymnastics, and many other industries will use our platform in many ways, and for different reasons. Let me tell you about one of the first times I used the platform. It was at my school in Florida, West Boca Karate in Boca Raton, Nicholas was a new white belt kind of small in stature. Mom was sitting in the spectator area while Nick was getting ready to record his video. Nickolas was just five and his parents in a previous meeting with Linda and I had expressed their concern for Nickolas. Nickolas’s mom went on to say Nick was very shy and possibly on the spectrum. Nicks parents just had him tested and were waiting for the results. Nickolas did a few takes with me and between my personality and the funny responses to Nicholas bloopers Nick was smiling and getting better with each take. We did three takes that day, I adjusted Nickolas’s gate, made some adjustments to his posture and tonality as well as the way he interacted with the camera. Needless to say, Nicholas did just fine smiling and proud of himself. However, this is not why I am telling you this story. Nicholas’s Mom sitting on the side was crying to a point I had to go over to her to see If I had done something wrong. To my surprise, Nicks Mom hugged me and told me she had never seen Nickolas respond to any activity or anyone this way. Needless to say, I was hooked and, in a flash, I saw the potential of what could be. The year is now 2019 and we are ready to unleash our project on the world.
Virtual Competitions New Platform is also a humanitarian thrust forward to meet the world and its people where they live. Imagine if you would, the young man or woman that shows you in a video how they continually undermine records set by our best athletes. The worlds reach we have always hoped for has been realized now with our Virtual Competitions Platform.
There will no longer be a social problem of a forgotten child, man or woman with a dream of being the best in the world at something they know in their heart and mind they are. Not having the ability to go beyond personal circumstance that rules our lives is to be paralyzed mentally as well as physically.
Whether it’s because of poverty, sickness in the family and a need to care for an aging parent or just the inability to travel.
Virtual Competitions eliminates the drawbacks of circumstances and provides an opportunity for every person no matter where they live or what their conditions may be.
If you would like to invest in our platform, please contact Ron at 561-629-6005 or set up an appointment to be taken to our platform and shown the inner working of what is sure to be the next big thing.
