About Olympus Acquisition
We’ve spent the last 4 years perfecting the art of member acquisition. Here you’ll learn who we help, what we do, our mission & our story.
Who we help
We work exclusively with brick-and-mortar martial arts school owners. Not dentists, gyms, or online coaches — just school owners who are serious about growing.
Most of our partners already have a physical location and at least 30 active students. They’re great at what they do on the mats — but tired of relying on walk-ins, referrals, and events to grow. They're ready to scale, but don't have the time or systems to do it themselves.
What we do
We install a complete student acquisition machine inside your school — fast.
That means; Proven ads, Human-led follow-up, Automated booking, Live ROI tracking And a U.S.-based team calling leads for you.
You stay focused on teaching and converting — we do everything else.
We don't just generate leads. We guarantee real booked appointments with financially qualified students — or we work for free until we hit the numbers.
What we believe
Results Over Noise – We don’t care about likes or traffic. We care about booked appointments, students through the door, and ROI you can see.
Extreme Ownership – We take full responsibility for outcomes. When things go wrong, we fix them fast.
Radical Transparency – No hidden metrics, no guesswork. You’ll always know what’s happening, why, and what we’re doing about it.
Partnership-First Thinking – We only win when you win. We act like part of your team — not some external vendor.
Speed & Precision – We move fast, but we don’t cut corners. Your system is live in days, not weeks.
Excellence Is the Standard – “Good” is not good enough. We push for world-class — in service, systems, and outcomes.
Our Story
Part 1: Student > freelancer
I (Matthew Aslanis, Founder) been training martial arts since I was 5 years old — from judo to Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and eventually MMA. Competing, training, living it. All I wanted growing up was to become a professional fighter.
Back in high school, my days started before sunrise. I’d hit the gym, go to school, work, then head straight back to training. That was the routine — every day, no excuses. I was obsessed with it.
But everything shifted when I moved from a packed Gracie BJJ academy — with over 400 students — to a much smaller MMA gym. I loved the smaller classes and one-on-one attention… but it was clear the business was struggling.
The energy was different. The mats were quieter. And I remember the owner telling me he was thinking about selling the school. That hit me. This place had incredible coaches and a powerful culture — but no systems, no marketing, and no consistent growth.
At the time, I had already started running ads for local businesses: medspas, chiropractors, dentists. So I offered to help. I told him I’d run a few campaigns to get more students through the door. That was the beginning — the moment I realized martial arts school owners are amazing at teaching but needed more than passion… they needed real marketing that worked.
Part 2: freelancer > agency
Once I started running ads for the school I was training at, everything just clicked. Because I’d been training my whole life, I understood the martial arts space — the language, the culture, the mindset. I knew exactly how to speak to parents looking for confidence for their kids… or young men searching for discipline, purpose, and challenge.
The campaigns worked. Fast. I filled up his classes, booked out trial sessions, and brought real energy back into the gym. My coach was beyond grateful — he insisted on paying me a monthly retainer and referred me to a few of his friends who also owned schools.
Same story. Same results. I helped them fill their mats, and the impact on their business — and their lives — was immediate.
That’s when I made the biggest decision of my life:
To stop running a general marketing agency…
And go all-in on helping martial arts school owners grow.
I realized I was more passionate about building this business than I ever was about becoming a professional fighter. I could change lives — not just for students walking through the door, but for the coaches and business owners who’d dedicated their lives to the martial arts.
So I went all in. Olympus Acquisition was born.
Part 3: Scale > Productising > Systems
As the agency grew, I quickly realized I couldn’t scale by delivering a custom solution to every new school. If Olympus was going to grow beyond me — and do it sustainably — I needed to build the best product in the market, one that delivered consistent, predictable results every single time. That meant taking what worked and turning it into a repeatable system. Every time I onboarded a new martial arts school, I refined the exact same process — from the way we structured the offer and built the funnel, to the ad angles, automations, and follow-up. Over time, what started as a done-for-you service became a productised acquisition machine — one that we could deploy in days, not weeks. We reached the point where we could onboard a new school in under 72 hours, with leads and bookings coming in within their first week of going live. It wasn’t just more efficient — it was more effective.
The results got sharper, the delivery got faster, and client satisfaction skyrocketed. That’s when Olympus evolved from an agency into a real growth engine. And we made our mission clear: To give martial arts school owners the freedom to focus on their passion — teaching and transforming lives — by building the most reliable client acquisition engine in the industry.
Part 4: Expansion > Global Reach
With the system dialed in and results stacking across every new client, Olympus began to grow — not just in size, but in reach. At first, it was schools in my own network. Then referrals started flooding in. Owners were telling other owners.
Soon we were onboarding martial arts schools from across Australia, the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.
The beauty of the system was its consistency. It didn’t matter what country you were in, what style you taught, or whether you were a BJJ black belt, Karate Instructor or a Krav Maga coach — the framework worked. We could onboard a school in under 72 hours, and they’d be getting leads, booked trials, and new students within their first week.
We weren’t just running ads.
We were delivering a fully productised client acquisition engine that worked anywhere — and scaled fast.
That’s when I realized Olympus had become more than an agency.
We were now the go-to growth partner for serious school owners worldwide.
Part 5: Mastery
As Olympus continued to grow, we realized something important:
Getting people through the door is only the beginning.
To build a truly successful school, owners need more than just leads. They need to know how to sell, how to retain, how to price their programs properly, and how to build internal systems that scale.
We started seeing patterns with our top-performing clients — the ones consistently enrolling 20–30+ students per month, keeping them long-term, and growing profitably. They weren’t guessing. They had real systems.
So we made a decision:
We began inviting these high-performing schools to share their strategies — everything from sales scripts and retention frameworks to pricing models and referral systems.
Because when the best schools share what’s working behind the scenes — and we combine that with our proven acquisition engine — everyone wins.
Olympus isn’t just a marketing agency anymore.
It’s a growing network of the most committed school owners in the world — building, sharing, and scaling together.
And we’re just getting started.
