So people that teach classes, how many classes do you guys and gals teach? Are they kid classes, teenage classes, or adult classes? Or do you teach a mixture of both?


I teach about thirteen, all the kid classes, though I will cover for adult classes if the instructor is not there.

I usually teach 3-5 classes a week, although I also assist here and there with some others. Mostly, I teach classes for kids, or all ages.

Wheaties are awesome, and yes 20 classes can be a lot. Best of luck

When you teach, do you teach by yourself or do you co-teach with another instructor.

Those are classes that I teach by myself. I will assist or co-teach 1-3 more, on average.

Whether it's in my dojo or at the Hombu, when I'm in house, I teach the majority of the classes for all ages and all ranks.

If nothing else, rank, in this regards, does have its privileges .

For me, it would depend on what year you are referring to. I used to teach kids classes seperately from adults, but gave that up. I used to teach kids as young as 6, if they had the aptitude to actually learn, and not just be babysat.....lol

In the end though, I taught 3 classes/week, 2 hours each class. Ages 14+. I gave up teaching young kids because I wasn't in it for the money, and kids classes are TOUGH! lol

I teach 4 adult BJJ classes per week. 2 PTK (kali) classes per week. One of our purple belts teaches the kids and we have another for the kickboxing and Muai Thai.

Quite frankly, that's enough.
