The Artist Institute
The MMA Striking Instructor position provides structured training in stand-up combat systems used in mixed martial arts. The role focuses on developing both technical striking ability and instructional competence, preparing participants to teach striking safely and effectively in a professional training environment. Instruction emphasizes proper mechanics, movement, timing, defensive awareness, and controlled application, with a strong focus on safety, student development, and real-world coaching standards.
The MMA Striking Instructor is responsible for delivering instruction in striking techniques, including footwork, combinations, pad work, defensive positioning, and controlled sparring methods. Duties include demonstrating techniques, supervising drills, correcting student performance, and ensuring adherence to safety protocols. The instructor also assists in lesson planning, structures progressive training sessions, evaluates student skill development, and mentors participants in how to teach striking to others. The role requires maintaining a safe training environment, reinforcing discipline and professionalism, and modeling proper technique and coaching practices.
Applicants must possess significant experience in MMA striking disciplines (e.g., boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, or related systems) and demonstrate the ability to teach techniques safely and effectively.
