"...im working two job 11pm-7am and 2:30pm-6:00pm so I get very little sleep and hate my second part time job."

 

That leaves him with very nasty sleeping hours. No wonder he's tired of training. He's probably not getting into REM sleeping.

Sure. But I don't think trying to become a martial arts teacher when he has lost interest already is going to solve any of those problems. And it's not that I'm picking on the guy.

Imagine you are a new student who is starting your martial arts journey. What is going to happen if your first teacher is just "in it for the money", has "no genuine interest" and things like that?

Sounds like he has much bigger problems to resolve, like finding a more suitable means of support and things like that.

When I was younger no matter how many jobs I had, no matter how little money I made...I was always a martial artist. Even if I didn't even have the time to devote to training because I was constantly passed out from working crappy jobs. I was still a martial artist.

I doesn't really sound like chrisw08 is a martial artists, let alone a candidate to become a martial arts teacher.

I know it's hard with schedules, for instance... I have two jobs (1 full time, 1 part time), I'm studying for my Post Grad Certificate (which is 1/3 of a Master), plus have a young family and still manage to practice. So I know a thing or two about time...

However judging by what you've typed, it sounds to me that maybe you need to either change the art that you've stopped or change the association/club that you were in. You've got to green within two years, to be honest there is still a lot to learn even before you get to the starting point (black belt).

If you do wish to open your own school, in the beginning it's going to be extremely hard, if not impossible to make a living off it from day one (that's not to say that you can't make a living off it once it get's established).

Possibly it's time to just be a practitioner and not an instructor until things change.
