Good base of kids, busy adult classes, good variety of classes to suit all tastes, i.e. a martial arts academy. I'm guessing from the thread that as some of the instructors dipped more & more into BJJ / MMA, the others maybe didnt like the way things were being directed and a parting of company has followed.

shawn Newbie 8 posts	Monday 22nd March 2004 at 18:11 castle bba has gone all money orientated all the best instructors have left and they are rushing people through the syllabus to make them instructors. I ask you how can you resect people that get their black belt in under 8 months just because they traied in a different style before hand, i know i might sound jealous but i would'nt accept a black belt, if i had only been training 8 months. train hard ,train good ,survive train hard ,train good ,surviv

steve Resident 217 posts	Monday 22nd March 2004 at 21:18 Andy....do you teach all styles of MA at your new set-up or just BJJ as a Gracie-Barra club? If just the BJJ are you still able to make it a full time job / earn the wages or having to supplement. Always fancied being a full time coach myself but never been able to see how it can pay a living wage.

My advice is if you want to do it, do it, just make sure you teach as many of your classes your self otherwise you will lose your focus and love of what you do and concentrate on money. email me on arjiujitsu@aol.com and i'll talk you through the basics of setting up a club in a way that you can earn a living from it.
