The Martial Club 25 to 152 students. 8X revenue.
A martial arts marketing case study with Constantin Manthey, who runs The Martial Club in Albuquerque, NM.

Meet the owner, Constantin.
Constantin is the owner of The Martial Club, a Muay Thai school in Albuquerque, New Mexico. With a deep passion for the art and a vision for what his school could become, Constantin had all the ingredients for success, except for one: a marketing strategy that actually worked.
Constantin MantheyThe problem.
Before partnering with Veuze Media in January 2025, Constantin's school was stuck:
-
Small student base
Only 25 students, not enough to sustain a full-time business.
-
Limited program offerings
Focused only on adult Muay Thai classes.
-
Ineffective marketing
Previous marketing efforts weren't driving the growth he needed.
-
Revenue ceiling
Without more students, he couldn't invest in expanding his programs or schedule.
-
Location limitations
Operating inside another gym that took a cut of his memberships, limiting his profit potential and independence.
Constantin knew he had an incredible program. He just couldn't figure out how to get more people through the door.
The turning point.
Constantin made the decision to partner with Veuze Media and take his marketing seriously. He understood that to build the school he envisioned, he needed a team that specialized in martial arts marketing and could deliver consistent, measurable results.
What followed was one of the most impressive transformations we've ever been a part of.
The results.
Revenue. Revenue growth that changed everything for the business.
New programs. A kids program and a women's only program.
What changed.
- Explosive growth. From 25 students to 152, over 6X the original student count.
- Program expansion. Successfully launched kids and women's only programs.
- Premium positioning. Able to increase membership costs while still growing.
- Schedule expansion. Added more classes to accommodate the growing student base.
- Revenue transformation. 8X revenue growth changed everything for the business.
- Location independence. Moved out of the gym where he was renting space (and losing a cut of memberships) into his own building.
How we got there.

The website we built.
Veuze Media designed a bold, high-energy martial arts school website built to match the intensity of Constantin's brand while converting at a high level. Our martial arts web design services delivered a dark, high-contrast design with conversion-optimized layouts, program breakdowns for adults, kids, and competitive fighters, and integrated social proof throughout. Combined with SEO optimization targeting Albuquerque-area searches and a mobile-first approach, the new site became the digital foundation behind The Martial Club's explosive growth.
I've grown my total student count from roughly 20-22 students to 36 students. That includes people who jumped off from contracts that expired.
