Template FAQs

Common questions about the Martial Arts Instructor Application Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What is a martial arts instructor application form?

A martial arts instructor application form is an online form used to recruit instructors for an academy. It captures their disciplines, rank, qualifications, and safeguarding checks, so an academy can confirm each applicant meets the standard and shortlist the right people to teach.

Why ask about first aid, DBS, and insurance?

First aid, a valid DBS or background check, and coaching insurance are essentials for anyone teaching martial arts, especially with children. Confirming all three at application ensures you shortlist instructors who meet safeguarding and safety requirements, protecting your students and your academy.

Why ask about rank and disciplines?

Knowing an instructor’s highest rank and which disciplines they can teach confirms they are qualified and shows what they can add to your timetable. It helps you build a team that covers the arts your students want, taught by people with genuine standing in them.

Why ask for a highlight reel?

An optional highlight reel lets strong candidates show how they move and teach, which a CV cannot convey. Seeing their skill and presence helps you judge fit for your academy before you invite them to a trial class in front of your students.

Why ask why they want to coach with you?

Asking why an applicant wants to coach with you reveals their motivation and cultural fit beyond their credentials. It helps you find instructors who share your values and will represent your academy well, which matters just as much as rank in a martial arts community.

Is the martial arts instructor application form free?
