Children's Karate Instructor

About the Role

Karate Zoo (presented by Amazing Athletes) introduces children to the exciting world of martial arts through a fun, high-energy, progression-based program. With the help of lovable Muscle Zoo friends, students learn the fundamentals of martial arts while building confidence, discipline, focus, respect, and coordination. As they develop their skills, students earn colored belts and stripes to celebrate their achievements and progress.

This is the perfect role for someone who loves working with kids, enjoys teaching and motivating others, and brings energy, patience, and positivity to every class. If you're passionate about helping children stay active, build confidence, and develop valuable life skills through martial arts in a fun and encouraging environment, we'd love to meet you!
