bushido_man96 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I think its the melting pot, really.

JohnASE Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 We're a small business, but we have hundreds of active dojo accounts. We don't ask them all what they do, but we chat sometimes.Yes, it's a melting pot, but there are tendencies. Instructors tend to have jobs that allow them the time to teach. Many have jobs that end early, so they're available for kids' classes by 4:00.In support of what others have said, the most common other occupation among our customers might be college professor. Some educators at other levels, too. Construction worker is pretty common. Law enforcement is up there. I think those are the big ones.

gamble759 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 One of my instructors is a personal trainer and manager at an athletic store. My other instructor worked in IT. Both are extremely dedicated to martial arts and are very gracious in sharing their time with their students! aka me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
