Wow,

So, they'll train you to be an instructor even if you have never had martial art experience before? This seems a little bit fishy to me. Unless the disclaimer says "training could take 5+ years." But even then it is misleading.

a person could be trained to teach cardio kickboxing in 4-6 weeks. we're not talking in tensive martial arts skills here. when they post an ad like that, they're looking for 'pretty' people.

it wasnt funny but............

A drop of sweat spent in practice is a drop of blood saved in a battle.

A person who say it cannot be done should not interrupt the man doing it.

That is just as sensible as mail order black belts :P

A good friend of mine just got a job like that. In Australia you can become an accredited martial arts instructor in 8 weeks. It is a pretty full on course but you are handed a black belt and certificate at the end. He came out of the Defence force though and had a fairly through grasp of hand to hand combat, but still, don't really think this is the way it should be done.

being a kickboxing instructor is not hard and you can be trained on the spot (but with a 2 weeks to months worth of training), as long as you don't consider your self a kickboxing fighter. When you teach kickboxing for fitness you only really need to know proper technique. But still, I think some experience with kickboxing would be better.

Now martial arts and karate and fitness you need some real training in that! Even kickboxing instructor i think i would prefer some experience in at least kickboxing.

the ad gave me a chuckle though.

I never said it wasn't dangerous.
