Are you a Martial Arts Instructor with a passion for childhood development and making an impact in the community?
If so, we are looking for both full-time and part-time instructors for our studio in South Elgin.

If the following information describes you, then we would love to meet you!


Overview:
Premier Martial Arts of Fox Valley (PMA) is embarking on a journey to impact the lives of children (and adults) in the Fox Valley area.

The beauty of martial arts training is that it teaches self-discipline and focus which can make a positive impact on people’s lives. There are very few career paths that allow you to have genuine job satisfaction and financial success!

A successful person in this role will have an outgoing personality and demonstrates a genuinely caring attitude toward the people they serve. In short, we are looking for people who are humble, hungry, and smart!


Job Summary:
An instructor at Premier Martial Arts is someone who is passionate about changing lives through day-to-day martial arts instruction. Having an outgoing leadership-driven personality is a must.  Our instructors not only teach martial arts, but more importantly, they inspire others to become the best version of themselves.  A PMA instructor utilizes the tools given to them to impact as many people as possible, is always a student, and never lets their ego get the best of them. A learning attitude is key to the success of this position.
