Role Overview…

We at G Force Martial Arts are excited to be recruiting our next Martial Arts instructor to join our BRAND NEW Martial Arts school in Guildford, opening in September 2026!

We are seeking an exceptional Martial Artist to lead the classes.

We are looking for someone who has proven experience in delivering fitness training, is able to teach people of all ages, and has experience in and/or would be open to learning how to teach Martial Arts through our curriculum.

In addition to these evenings, instructors are required to support weekend gradings, skills workshops, key promotional or community events, and attend instructor development training. Flexibility beyond the core timetable is a required part of the role.

Live within 30 minutes of the location they are applying for
Can drive to classes and events
Have the required martial arts training (minimum 6 months in a striking art)
Have the required coaching or teaching experience (minimum 1 year experience in martial arts teaching, personal training, fitness instruction, or similar)

Has experience coaching, teaching, or delivering fitness instruction
Is confident working with both children and adults
Is reliable and able to commit to required training and additional sessions
Wants to develop professionally within a structured Martial Arts organisation
You do not need to be a black belt.

You do need to be coachable, professional, and confident instructing and leading sessions.
