Dear KM Alliance Affiliates,

We we previously mentioned, Paul Garcia of Martial Arts For Excellence (MAFE) has offered to give free consulting advice each month to our membership. This consulting will include a monthly Marketing Discussion between Paul and John Whitman.

Originally, we tried to post these conversations on the Alliance website, but they files were too large. In addition, Paul is offering some other materials, so it seemed easier to simply have their system maintain the resources.

To access these marketing resources, simply follow this link to the MAFE Krav Maga Alliance page. You can set up a free log in, and we'll inform you each time new content is added.

Remember, this is free with your Alliance affiliation!
