Do u have to go to school to become a woman's self defense instructor or can u get training

Question

i am interested in becoming a women's self defense instructor and do i have to have training or do i have to go to college and how many years this is for personal trainers and people who work in a gym

Answer 1

If you have no self-defense experience, get into a school.  

If you are already in a martial art school, ask your teacher if you can take students.  

If your teacher gives the okay, apply where you like.  

Personal trainers need to get their certification, here is a link:

If you are only going to teach self-defense you won't need this, but it will help you get into better paying gyms if you can personal train and teach self-defense.  

To protect your self, you will need to carry trainers/martial arts instructor insurance.(Unless the gym that employs you covers that)

Good luck!!
