How do i get started opening up a taekwondo school?

Ask your instructor.. there are some organizations that will let you join, for some cash..... really if you have to ask this question on yahoo answers, i am afraid you will only further hurt the already poor reputation of TKD... sorry|||Learn TKD first


then teach it|||Advertise!! Ask some of the people you know who have schools,old instructor%26#039;s.If you don%26#039;t want to step on toes go out of town ask around,or a tournament.|||Congrats on opening a new school so others can train. I my self have started a Aikido Dojo back in March of this year.well it is going ot be hard to get a Dojang set up and make a profit off of it from the uprising of the MMA and UFC Stay as affordable as you can and offer good TKD.Get a website set up. http://www.freewebs.com is a good one it is free dont need to pay for it.


Also what rank are you? With each art you have to be a specific rank to begin teaching or at least to teach certain techniques and some Provinces and states have laws to control who can and can not teach.


That is another reason why a lot of MMA schools are popping up. Guys with little or no training in specific arts are trying to make money off of the hype around UFC. Why do you think there were maybe only a few MMA schools in the major cities across North America a few years ago now there are thousands. By MMA I don%26#039;t mean a Dojo that has a Judo Black belt and a Karate Black belt teaching there. I mean guys like Mat Hughes who have no real martial arts training teaching people basically how to tackle someone to the ground sit on their chest and punch them in the head.


People will know good quality trainig when they see it.





Best of Luck|||If you build it they will come!|||This is a rather strange question and I can%26#039;t believe you are really serious by the simplicity of your question and the lack of detail in your question - but:





1) Earn at least a 3rd Dan in TaeKwon-Do or have some senior ranking black belts in TaeKwon-Do before you even consider moving forward.


2) Develop a business plan for what you want to achive, how you expect to achieve it, and what you will need in order to achive it.


3) Visit your local Chamber of Commerce, Small Buisiness Adminstration office, and any other business associations in your area to gain as much information as you can about how to run a successful business and what regulatory requirements are in place.


4) Develop your curriculum, paperwork, operational procedures, advertising and promotional activities etc.


5) Secure funding to rent a space, do all the required TI, obtain all of the regulatory permits necessary, and offer you at minimum of six months reserve funding


6) Pray, spend every waking hour working on it, give up much of your free time to achieve it, and commit yourself fully to it.





Still want to open a school? If you do, I%26#039;d strongly encourage you to join one of the many martial arts professional organizations in existance today. They provide a wealth of information, materials, tips, and support for quality instructors who are interested in bettering themselves and their businesses in a professional and appropriate way.
