This message went out to members yesterday, 10 minutes after a CNN story on MMA hit the web.

Urgent Message from John Graden:

Dear MATA Member:

Here is a great media shot for you if you jump on it NOW. Contact your local media and offer this story from CNN as a national story that you would like to bring a local angle to as a Martial Arts School.

This is another reason MATA rules. We are always looking for media angles and can get them to you instantly rather than waiting for the next box. We saw this at 4:27pm est. Ten minutes ago. Now it's up to you to jump on the opportunity.

Here is the story.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/09/18/ultimate.fighting.championship/index.html

Print this or email it to sports or human interest producers and/or editors. Use this as your cover letter:

Dear editor/product (use correct name and title)
As you can see from today's cover story on CNN.com, mixed martial arts continues it controversial but meteoric rise in popularity. I'm confident your audience would enjoy getting a local angle on this recognized national phenomenon.

We teach martial arts to students from age 3 - 63. You might enjoy speaking with some of the students and parents to get a local, human interest take on this huge trend.

To learn more about our school, visit our website at www.yourschool.com. I look forward to working with you to help our community get a clear picture on a national movement.

Yours truly,

Joe Martial Arts Guy




Sincerely,
John Graden
