Become an Instructor

Arakan Martial Art^® isn’t just a career. It’s a path of self-discovery and empowerment, where you make a profound impact on others. With our ongoing support, you’ll have the tools to live a life of purpose and fulfilment, while helping others live safer, more empowered lives. Along the way, you’ll forge lasting friendships and experience the camaraderie of a community dedicated to mutual growth and success. If you’re ready to step into a role that offers not only financial rewards but the deep satisfaction of knowing you’re making a difference, becoming an Arakan Martial Art^® Instructor is the next step for you.

Your journey begins as a student. No previous martial arts experience is required; what matters most is your drive, determination, and enthusiasm for learning. Through training, you’ll experience the transformative power of Arakan Martial Art^® and develop mental and physical resilience, laying the foundation for becoming an Instructor. You’ll also train alongside like-minded individuals, building toughness, perseverance, and a strong sense of community that will support you every step of the way.

Once you’ve demonstrated commitment and dedication, you’ll be personally invited to enter the Arakan Martial Art^® Instructor Development Program. This is where your leadership journey begins. You’ll refine your teaching, communication and motivational skills, learning how to guide and inspire students. The program helps you grow both personally and professionally, preparing you to step into the role of an Instructor with confidence. Every journey is unique, and the timeline for each individual’s progression varies based on personal growth, talent and performance. Invitations to this exclusive program are extended based upon your dedication and achievements, ensuring that only those truly ready to lead are given the opportunity.

Throughout your development, you’ll undergo various tests and gradings. These milestones assess not only your technical ability but also your mental resilience and discipline. These tests and gradings are rigorous and will challenge you both physically and mentally, pushing you to prepare, dig deep, and overcome obstacles. The process is designed to test your limits and strengthen you as a person, ensuring that you are truly ready to take on the responsibility of an Instructor. Passing these demonstrates your readiness to teach and lead others with focus and determination.

Once you successfully complete the development program and pass your tests and gradings, you’ll graduate as an Arakan Martial Art^® Instructor. This marks the beginning of your ability to share your knowledge and guide others on their journey of empowerment. However, even as an Instructor, your growth continues. You’ll constantly evolve, learn, and inspire both yourself and your students. Upon graduation, you’ll be provided with the opportunity to run your own Arakan Martial Art^® business, allowing you to build your student base, expand the community, and make a lasting impact. As you continue to grow in your role, you’ll have the opportunity to progress to Senior, 2nd, and even 3rd Degree Senior Instructor levels, where each advancement comes with increased responsibilities, recognition, and a boost in income, offering you a rewarding career path that’s as fulfilling as it is financially beneficial. This is not just a job; it’s a chance to lead, inspire, and grow in ways you never imagined.

At Arakan Martial Art^®, we see growth as a lifelong journey, and we’re committed to supporting you at every stage. As an Instructor, you’ll benefit from ongoing mentorship from Chief Instructor Robert Kyaw and the Managing Instructors team, receiving invaluable feedback and encouragement. Through weekly meetings, you’ll have the opportunity to further develop your skills, enhance your leadership abilities, and continue improving your own training, ensuring you’re always progressing and never facing challenges alone.

Our support doesn’t stop there. You’ll also gain comprehensive business guidance to help you build and run your own successful business. From marketing assistance and a fully integrated online presence to admin support and customer management systems, we provide all the tools you need to focus on what matters most: empowering your students and growing your business.

You’re not just part of a business. You’re part of a close-knit, supportive community. Our network of Instructors across the country shares a commitment to making a difference, and you’ll always have someone to turn to for advice or encouragement. It’s a journey we walk together, and as you grow, so does our entire community.
