Job Description

We at Fly High Fitness, are looking for a great Karate coach for our Junior members. This role will be a full time position. Requirements The specific requirements for martial arts instructors depend on the school. In most cases, instructors must hold a black belt in their art before becoming a full instructor. They must be able to correctly demonstrate the techniques and teach them to students in a safe way. In addition, instructors must know the history, traditions and values of the martial art so that they can pass these on to their students. In some cases, advanced students who are not black belts can begin assisting the head instructor and teaching beginner students. Instructors must also communicate clearly and be comfortable and confident teaching large groups. Ideally, they will know basic first aid to handle injuries that might occur in class. Duties and Responsibilities Martial arts instructors must plan classes and tailor them to the skill level of the students. Classes might include teaching new techniques, practicing strikes on pads or heavy bags, sparring, meditation, stretching, conditioning and discussing the history or philosophy of the art. Instructors should be available before and after class to speak with students, answer questions and make sure students are on track to reach their goals. Instructors also administer exams for students to advance to the next belt level. Instructors will often travel to competitions to coach students. In many schools, instructors also handle administrative duties such as calling and enrolling prospective students, monthly billing, and maintaining inventory of uniforms, belts and other training equipment and gear. Working Conditions Martial arts instructors typically work in a martial arts studio or spaces. They usually work in the afternoon or evening, although some schools also offer morning or lunch time classes. They also often teach classes or attend competitions on the weekends. In addition to time spent teaching, instructors must devote time to their own training. Certification Certification requirements vary by martial arts school. Some schools do not require certification beyond belt rank and ability. Many schools have their own certification program or instructors course. Others may require a national certification from an organization such as the American Martial Arts Certified Professionals. Certification programs usually include training in teaching techniques, philosophy and tradition, first aid, conditioning, and stretching techniques. Job Type: Full-time Application Question(s):
