Master Bronson Ko has cracked the code, building what he calls "the Apple of martial arts studios" – premium facilities with prices to match and waiting lists of eager families.Perhaps most compelling is Master Ko's insight that higher prices create deeper commitment. "When you pay more for something, you actually become more committed to it," he notes.
