What do you guys think it takes?
My instructor asked me if this is something that I want to do in the future. He has offered to help me down that road if it is one I choose to take. I know that I would be teaching more classes, learning more about runninig business, and getting more of an inside look at being a full time martial arts instructor (I already teach now but it only when my instructor can't make it).
The way I see it, I would have to do this for a while longer and it would take a good investment of time on my part. Martial arts is a passion of mine though and as difficult as running a "non-McDojo" school might be, I think it could be worth the effort. Especially to get out of the corporate grind.
I'm in sales and marketing now and could use those skills. Now its fine tuning my technical skills in MAs, and teaching skills.
What are some of the drawbacks and problems you see? What are the benefits? If you own a school and can remember back to this point in your life, what pushed you to go for it?
