What are the responsibilities and job description for the Martial Arts Academy Operator / Lead Instructor position at The Ludus Academy of Martial Arts?
LUDUS Academy of Martial Arts is looking for the right martial artist, coach, and leader to step into a major operational role at an already-established gym.
We currently have:
60 active students
Revenue that exceeds current expenses
A working class schedule
An established local community
Programs for both kids and adults
Real room for growth
This is not just a coaching job.
This is an opportunity to take the reins of a functioning martial arts academy, grow the student base, and share meaningfully in the upside.
LUDUS offers:
• Striking
• JKD/MMA
• Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
• HEMA
• Fitness classes
• Kids and adult programs
We are looking for someone to take over the bulk of weekly classes and day-to-day instruction.
The current owners would remain involved in a limited support role to help cover vacations, support the transition, and make sure our students and community continue to be well cared for.
The opportunity includes:
• Small base salary
• Generous profit share
• Potential ownership stake / equity participation for the right long-term fit
• A chance to grow an existing martial arts business instead of building one from scratch
Because the gym already has enough students to cover expenses, the right person can make this lucrative quickly.
A motivated instructor who can retain students, recruit new members, build energy in the room, and strengthen the community has a clear path to meaningful upside.
This may be a great fit for someone who:
• Has experience in JKD, MMA, striking, or a related martial arts background
• Enjoys working with both kids and adults
• Is reliable, professional, and self-motivated
• Wants to lead, not just teach
• Has an ownership mindset
• Understands that long-term upside can be more valuable than short-term hourly pay
• Wants a faster, lower-risk path to running a martial arts school
Starting a martial arts school from scratch is hard.
Finding space, building a schedule, covering overhead, recruiting the first students, and creating momentum can take years.
This opportunity gives the right person a major head start.
The foundation is here.
The students are here.
The space is here.
The systems are in motion.
Now we’re looking for the right person to help take it to the next level.
For the right candidate, this could become much more than a job.
It could become a serious long-term business opportunity.
Interested candidates can send a brief introduction, martial arts background, teaching experience, and why this opportunity interests them.
