Hi Falcon
The type of teaching that you do may sound close to old tradition training but in the new world of martial arts that now has passed i was taught old school and got to black sash after 8 years of training but black belt/sash does not entitle anyone to teach
The problem is now words like Liability, Neglect, Competency, and Duty of Care are more
the words used by martial arts Instructor as the day has gone where you got black and you opened up a club and trained "those days are gone" and I dont thinks a bad idea as we have brought all this upon ourselves suppose instructors training in all kinds of styles and systems Now with qualications being governed by NGB and endorsements by UKAS and now the goverment one UKCC its very difficult just assume a role of which teaching is carried out by anybody
I wish you all the best but be careful
my friend
Kind Regards

Hello y'all. I am new to the group. I go by the name "Falcon". I am a
certified martial arts instructor. I however do not have a dojo, I let
the student pick where they want to train at. Usually this is at the
park. I give private lessons on a invitation only basis. The reason
why I teach this way is so students may be willing to learn if they
are invited into a "exclusive club". In todays world it is difficult
to tell who you may be teaching. I don't teach as a full time job so i
charge very little for lessons. The amount I charge is to cover
equipment and other expenses. I teach one on one with my students.
They have placed well in the local karate tournament. I have a variety
of styles that I teach. I cover everything from stand up fighting to
ground fighting. My method of teaching is somewhat contemporary but it
works. I live and teach in TN. I teach in Cumberland County, Putnam
County, and the White County Area's. If you are in any of these areas
and interested in martial arts lessons please let me know and I will
be happy to get with you on prices and etc. Like I said students pick
the location. I also will teach martial arts to groups like church
youth groups, home school, private schools, and other private groups.
Group rates are cheaper than one on one. Groups can be of any size.
God Bless y'all!
