Job description:
We are looking for an experienced Assistant Martial Arts Instructor to support class delivery across our kids and adult programs. You will work directly alongside our lead instructor to maintain a high-quality, safe, and structured learning environment. This is a teaching role — not a competition or fighting role. Our ideal candidate is patient, professional, and genuinely skilled at working with kids.


Responsibilities

  • Assist in delivering engaging martial arts classes for students of varying ages and skill levels
  • Support the lead instructor in maintaining class structure, safety, and energy
  • Provide individual attention and feedback to students during training
  • Help track student progress and communicate effectively
  • Assist with school events, parents night out, belt testing, and student milestone activities
  • Uphold El Dojo NYC's values of respect, discipline, and growth at all times

Requirements

  • Minimum 2 years of experience teaching or assisting martial arts classes in a structured school or program setting
  • Demonstrated experience working with and teaching children (ages 3–17 preferred)
  • Proficiency in at least one martial arts discipline; multi-style experience is a plus
  • Strong communication and classroom management skills
  • Reliable, punctual, and professional
  • Must be available weekday afternoons, evenings, weekends
  • Background check required

What We're NOT Looking For:
This is not a fighter or competitor role. We are not looking for someone focused on sport fighting, MMA competition, or aggressive training styles. We want an educator and a team player first.
