How much schooling do you need to be a martial arts teacher?
Technically, in this day and age, anyone could open a martial arts school and teach. Sadly, this is the case in many places. However, in the Okinawan Style that I study, Shorin-Ryu, and many other Okinawan styles I'm familiar with, most suggest that you can open a school after you reach 3rd degree black belt. Then you become a "Sensei" in your own right. I imagine many other styles also technically have requirements before you can open a school and be a legit teacher of that art.
