Peter McHugh
I’ve always known that if I teach great classes and genuinely care about my students, I’ll survive. But there’s a massive difference between surviving and thriving. Over the last 10 years, EFC has given me the tools, guidance, and support to grow my headquarters location to over 800 students. I now have two locations, and own both buildings. In the martial arts, we know to seek out mentors who have blazed the trail before us, who will guide us, and who want us to succeed. Ricardo Almeida was that mentor for me in Jiu Jitsu. EFC has been that in business, finances, and more.

I have been affiliated with EFC for over 35 years. During this time, EFC has been instrumental in the growth of my school, enabling me to operate 6 locations – 5 in Buffalo, NY and one in Charlotte, NC. EFC is more than just a collection company; they provide comprehensive support, ranging from customer service and tuition management to CRM and lead generation through their website services. EFC fosters a familial atmosphere within their company, which extends to their clients. This is one of the most impressive aspects of being part of EFC. I eagerly anticipate working with EFC for many more years to come.

Buzz Durkin
My relationship with EFC began in 1988. Having just built a state-of-the-art building - in fact one of the first to be built purposefully as a martial arts school - I knew there must be a better way to run the business side of the school. I saw an advertisement in Black Belt magazine and made a trip to one of the regional meetings. Then fate stepped in and my flight was delayed and I ended up having a long conversation with none-other than John Cokinos. The rest, as they say, is history. Buzz Durkin’s Uechi Karate School is known for many things, but superior customer service is one of them. I continually credit most of this due to my relationship with John Cokinos and his late father Nick Cokinos (founder of EFC). I have said many times that the two best business decisions I have made were building my own free-standing building and being a member of EFC. I love networking with my EFC family and continue to learn and benefit from my relationship with current chairman - Mr. John Cokinos.
