Hi! It's my first post on this forum so hopefully it's in the right section! I haven't made up my mind yet, but I was thinking of starting to teach Kyokushinkai Karate. I have a Sandan Black belt, not a Rokudan like my teacher, but it's still pretty good? I will keep on training in my Shihan's dojo so I can keep advancing of course! So I won't be stopping my training. I was thinking of accepting brown belts and lower to begin with so I could build myself up from there, then open up to black belts. Are there any things I should look out for or think of? I can tell my future students to buy their uniform and belt from me or they can buy it on their own. How can I make certificates when it's time for them to carry on with the next belt level? I was also thinking of not having a time frame of 8 weeks where I would have a grading test; I will judge their ability and see if they're ready for the next belt and then invite them to a grading test. I don't want it to be a McDojo! I want to keep the tradition of earning it with your sweat and experience. Do you know of any locations where I could start to teach that isn't expensive to rent? Especially since I'm just starting and don't have students yet... Do I need insurance? Anything else is much appreciated, Thanks!
