Frequently asked questions
How much will it cost to get started as I do not have a great deal of capital?
The first thing is the L2 Martial arts Instructor Training Course but this can be largely funded by using your Enhanced Learning Credits or Resettlement Grant for those serving in the military. The cost of the course is £500 or £1,500 if you wish to obtain a BTEC Level 3 qualification. There is a low cost franchise fee that will need to be paid although we do have payment options available to help with this.
Can I teach in my town?
Yes, as long as we do not already have a British Military Martial Arts school in that postcode area. Please check the website to see if there is already a school in your area and if so, you can open a school in a Town as close to your local area as possible but with a different postcode.
I am still serving in the military. Can I open a school now?
Yes, you can open a school in your Camp, offering classes for the troops on camp and their families. Alternatively you can set up a school in the Town where you are serving, if you plan to stay there when you leave.
If I am not serving or ex-military, am I still able to take on a franchise with you?
Yes. Whilst many of our Instructors are ex-service personnel, some are civilian Martial Artists with no military background. As long as you have martial arts or boxing experience, are physically fit enough to pass the course and have a strong desire to join our organisation, teaching military themed classes, you will still be invited to come on board.
Is there a limit to the number of classes I can run?
No. You can run as many classes under the British Military Martial Arts banner as you wish to and we will actively encourage entrepreneurs who wish to expand and grow their school base as much as possible.
How long will it take to start earning money?
Usually two months after the initial launch.
How much can I expect to earn?
This varies from Instructor to Instructor but on average you can earn between £25,000 – £50,000 per annum, but the sky really is the limit!
