Kids Programming Instructor

Join our team as a part-time, Lead Instructor, for a well-established Kung Fu and Kickboxing Academy looking to add support for existing children's classes and potentially round out some new ones. Classes are Tuesday through Saturday, afternoon to early evening and mornings to early afternoon on Saturday with the possibility of expansion. We teach ages 3 up to teens, grouped as 3-5yr olds and 6+. While we often encourage teens to join our adult/teen classes, younger teens may still be more comfortable in the Juniors classes; maturity and aptitude can often inform the decision on the transitional ages of students and their class that best suits them.

We are looking for:

Act as a positive role model, helping students develop life skills like sportsmanship, perseverance, and confidence, and voice. Cultivate a positive daily environment that not only keeps students engaged, but where they leave with impactful and positive memories of training.

Community Accountability & Professional Boundaries:

Martial Arts may become a lifelong practice for our students; instructors must teach knowing this student may be in our community for the next 30 years. Our unique balance of traditional-education & modern-business regularly calls for Performance Teams and Competitions Teams, or, more casual, celebration banquets or cultural ceremony events. While no extra working hours can be guaranteed for these extra-activities; any staff participating must prioritize their professional boundaries and limit contact with students or younger staff members.

Cultural Sensitivity & Multilingual Environment:

Must enjoy teaching students and working alongside people of diverse backgrounds and beliefs. Discrimination of any kind won't be tolerated. Additionally, our business is "Kung Fu." So while working, instructors should be immersed in our Traditional Chinese Kung Fu environment and respecting those traditions.

For example:

exemplify values of a "sihing / sijeh" or "Sifu," without overly objectifying or caricaturing the culture. For instance, learning to count and name techniques with proper Cantonese pronunciation in class is extremely important.
