Job Description
Our Vision: We use martial arts as the catalyst to motivate our students to develop the life skills they need to succeed later in life, all while also learning self-defense.
Want to be part of a fun, dynamic, collaborative team engaging and improving the lives of our students? Martial Arts is just a part of what our program is all about. We focus primarily on kids, but we also have teens and adult classes. Most martial arts schools focus specifically on the physical components of self-defense. For us, self-defense is a byproduct. It is essential, but our primary goal is getting kids to work on improving their behavior at home, in school, and elsewhere. We want to teach students life skills and see them working on time-management skills, self-control, better communication, stress management, conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, grit, goal setting, listening skills, focus, and more! Do you want to be a part of something that will impact the lives of kids and their families? Do you want to be part of a team that helps kids find success today and later in life?
The Mercer Island Martial Arts team is looking for an enthusiastic, energetic person to fill a spot as an Instructor and play a crucial role in developing and changing the lives of our students. In this role, you will organize and follow class plan structures as given to you by the Master or Head Instructor. You will dedicate time to training and learning our teaching systems in our martial arts style. Martial Arts experience is highly preferred. Someone with an interest or previous experience in teaching or coaching is also a plus. We will train the right candidate for this position. The position will primarily be at the school, except when attending off-site events as needed.
Our program is a personal development program that is both physical and mental. Although marital arts can be physically orientated, we are not just a recreational program. We are a black belt school, and in that vain, you will need to understand how to communicate effectively with students and parents to help them achieve the ultimate goal of the black belt, which takes both physical and mental training.
We also expect the students to learn respect and discipline in the classroom. This is achieved through an experiential learning milieu that uses reward systems and positive reinforcement models.
Mercer Island Martial Arts is a small and thriving school. Although your role will primarily be instruction, you will also have supplemental roles in marketing, retention, light cleaning, and new student recruitment.
This position will combine instruction, student retention, a role in new student recruitment, and relationship development with students and families.
