The requirments for statring a martial ats school vary depending on the association.  I used to belong to the WTF and understand the rules have changed a bit from the early days.  It is my opinion that you should be a seasoned black belt to open and opperate a school.  A 1st degree black belt to me is nothing more than a master of the basics.  A 3rd degree black belt would be more of a journeyman.\n\nI have been practicing martial arts since 1967 and have discovered that there is way more to rank and time in rank when it comes to running a school and teaching students.  Some students are natural teachers I have found.  There is a big difference between being a good competitor, practitioner, coach, judge, or official and that of being a teacher.  Teaching is a totaly different animal.  You need to be able see a students strenghts and weaknesses and build on each individual.  You need to earn the respect of each student every day.\n\nThe things to remember outside of rank when opperating a school include but are not limited to demographics, your business capabilities, your willingness to continue to learn and evolve, your maturity as a student yourself, business strategy, program direction, time restraints, ect.\n\nOne last word of advise...don't quit your day job any time soon.

the best thing for you to do is to check with the state education office. they will beable to help you out with that. it also depends on what area that you want to teach that they are short in teachers. i know that kansas does it, i went through that process, which took about 3 years.

I think that Tae Kwon Do is the perfect martial art for him. I have taken Tae Kwon Do for 10 years and so has my brother. It teaches self defense, self discipline, respect, etc. I think that if you go to a traditional Tae Kwon Do school that you will learn those things, but if you go to an olympic style you wont learn as much. I think that what you learn also depends on the Tae Kwon Do school that you go to.

Taekwondo is a martial art because it is an art of fighting. The same as boxing and fencing are considered martial arts. And yes it is flashy...\n\nNow to put a few other posts straight i.e Hood_12 the moron...\n\nTaekwondo is not meant to 'train in reality'. Generally Taekwondo is to show off and be flashy. That is why it has been a demonstration ONLY in the Olympic games until just a few years ago.\n\nDon't even try to say that doing Ju Jitsu is any different when it comes to a compliant opponent. If anything, Ju Jitsu is worse. Ever tried to throw someone while they are resisting? Much harder than you know. Same goes for Judo and Aikido. When you train with a partner, you are training together, not against each other trying to be a tough guy.\n\nNot all schools have a contract that needs to be signed. I've been practicing and teaching martial arts for quite a while and I have NEVER had to sign a contract.\n\nSchedule for black belt? Rubbish! It should take a minimum of five years to attain your 1st degree black belt. There are very strict rules in most Taekwondo schools. I suggest you get your facts straight before posting this crap all over the place. Just because you studied under a bad instructor/school, it doesn't mean Taekwondo is worthless.\n\nI have seen hundreds of students fail gradings. I guess your instructor was just after your money and didn't really care what his/her students got out of the class (if anything).\n\nSparring is usually semi contact in Taekwondo. It requires greater control than full contact. FOR COMPETITIONS you practice to score points, the same in all competitive sports including Ju Jitsu, Judo etc etc. \n\nWarm ups for 30 minutes sounds about right. You MUST stretch and warm up properly before attempting high kicks. I seen people CRIPPLED because they didn't warm up properly. The hamstrings are usually the first to go. As competitive Taekwondo is for points, you need to be fast. That’s why you do speed drills etc. READ CAREFULLY - YOU NEED TO BE FAST!!\n\nPersonally I don't think anyone under 16 should have a black belt. This is only my opinion tho. I don't know what kind of Mickey Mouse school you went to but I've NEVER seen an 8 year old black belt.\n\nYou want to see reality? Look at REAL KNIFE DEFENCE and see what it leads to. I have known EXPERT martial artists who have lost their life to people with knives. No amount of training can prepare you for what is on the street. Violence is real ugly.\n\nYou sound like the kind of guy who trained for ages and never achieved anything, probably got your ass kicked by the 8 year old black belt.\n\nSee this video for something that you might class as REAL. \n\nWARNING - VIDEO FOR ADULTS ONLY\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8884586003342147853&q=martial+arts\nWARNING - VIDEO FOR ADULTS ONLY

First, a black belt is really not the top rank, it is in the middle. A black belt learns certain moves in their system of training and reaches a certain level of competence and maturity. In our school they also have to show confidence, a humble, respectful attitude and show that they have a good enough grasp of the style to be able to "graph" their own moves. It takes three to five years, depending on their commitment level, how often they attend classes, and whether they utilize other learning opportunities. For instance, we do not usually push tournaments, but attending tournaments does help you learn by exposing you to different fighting styles.\n\nWe also give three different levels of black belts. A child can get a "black belt" in a few years, but will have to retest for his adult black belt no sooner than age 16. A junior belt is usually given to a child 12-16, again they will continue training and get an adult belt when ready. It takes an adult longer to earn a black belt than it does a child, because more is expected from them.

I like think Koei Kan Karate is pretty good. Here's an answer I once gave someone who asked about taking a martial art. Hope this helps!\n\nHere's what I would do:\n\n\n1. Get a sheet of paper and write down exactly what kinds of benefits you wish to obtain from studying karate/martial arts. It's a good idea to know exactly what you want to achieve.\n\n2. Go to www.smartpages.com and look up MARTIAL ARTS INSTRUCTION in you city and state. It will tell you what martial arts are taught in your area and where the schools are located.\n\n3. Once you know what martial arts are offered in your area look up their definitions on the net. Note the similarities and differences between each. A good place to do that is www.wikipedia.com.\n\n4. Visit the schools in your area. Ask for a free class. Make sure you find a Master Instructor who is overseen by a larger governing body.For example: Many Tae Kwon Do schools belong to the World Tae Kwon Do Federation. Verify your instructor's credentials.\n\n\nSome Martial Arts:\n\nTae Kwon Do and Karate will provide you with a great cardiovascular workout. They will also tone you. For the best results go to class around 4-5 days per week and at least 20-30 minutes a day at home to practice your moves.\nKoei Kan and Isshin Ryu are two good styles of karate. You can also look up Kenpo.\n\nKrav Maga, an Israeli style of self defense, is a superb physical workout. Around 4-5 days of Krav with transform your body. I've watched it happen. Fair warning! The workouts are intense! Take a look at Jennifer Lopez in the movie Enough. She's doing Karv Maga.

in the United States it varies by state.  At least a bachelor's degree in either education or the language you want to teach, appropriate teaching courses including internships and student teaching.  Some universities may require a stay in the target language country or an OPI (oral proficiency interview) to determine your level of competance in the language.  Some states require that you get your bachelor's in your language and then add a year for teacher preparation.  It varies widely by state.  Most teachers have a Master's degree, either in their subject area or in education, and most states require that you continue to take courses throughout your teaching career in order to remain fresh and up-to-date.  I would contact universities in the State you want to teach (their School of Education) as well as the website of the State Department of Public Instruction for the states in which you want to teach.

Taekwondo (also written as "tae kwon do", "taekwon-do" or "t'aegwondo") is a modern martial art from Korea that is characterised by its fast, high and spinning kicks. You are never too old to start taekwondo, as long as you are physically able to train\nTaekwondo will help you to become fit in a (relative) short amount of time.

contact the county schools office in your area to find out what the requirements are.  If you are qualified, have them list your name on their sub lists.  It would be a good idea to also contact the city schools in your area and ask them to put you on their sub list. (because the county doesn't always send their lists to the city offices.)

Your question is difficult to answer because each state within the United States has different accreditation requirements for its teachers. You must have certification from the state. If you already have a bachelor's degree you can apply for alternative certification and after completing the course you can start your career. Of course, if you have your master's degree or more you can try teaching at the collegiate level by applying at different universities. Here is a site I think might be useful to you. Good luck!

It depends on the university! Each university has its own entry requirements.

Jumping the gun a little bit aren't you.  When training in any martila arts don't look to the future.  Train on what you are learning now andget down the basics.  Take your time.  I am 30 years old.  I started Taekwondo when I was 12.  At 19 I was a red belt black stripe and took Phase one black belt testing.  Before I took the final phase a few months later I joined the Army and Started at a new taekwondo school  but since I was new at the school I wanted to start as a White Belt.  Attained red Belt there and then was Sent to Oklahoma and I started as Guess what??  White Belt again.  Then Germany  as a White Belt and now I am in Washington and Got out of the Army and when I started Taekwondo here guess what I started as?  Yes White Belt.I am not in a rush to get a Black Belt the color really means nothing to me.  Since I am going to be in Washington for a while I might as get Black belt while I am here and Also since I have been training for about 18 years.  So in closing color of the belt means nothing to a True artist.  If thats all you care about then you are taking Martial arts for the wrong reason.
