You realize that shodan (without teaching experience) is not that high of a rank that would qualify one to teach much beyond the basics. Do you plan on teaching one of your styles, or a hodgepodge combo? There is a big difference between the styles you have dabbled in and there would be compatibility issues if you try to combine them. I think those that would pay for private lessons would expect a higher level of overall experience and expertise. Are you confident that you can deliver the goods?I've been practicing martial arts for 15 years total, and I've earned a few ranks in several systems.
Shotokan-Shodan
Kyokushin-blue belt
Shorin Ryu-Shodan
BJJ-2 stripe white
With the exception of guiding a few stretches before class, I have never taught. Due to priorities like family and career, I am not actively training. I'm considering using the space I have to teach a maximum of 1-3 people individually. Id prefer to be on a more low profile teacher (no huge advertising). I simply figured I'd refer back to my MA credentials and see how I can use it to make a little cash by imparting what I know. I have no curriculum or ideas on what and how to teach.
