Cobra Martial Arts & Fitness Centre – Established 1991

Cobra Martial Arts & Fitness Centre is seeking enthusiastic, confident and reliable people to join our team and teach children’s martial arts classes.

With over 35 years of experience helping children develop confidence, discipline, fitness and life skills, we are looking to recruit and train additional staff now, with opportunities to take on more regular shifts in 2027.

A great opportunity for someone seeking a long-term casual role, with the potential to progress to a position covering all our children’s and adult class shifts.

About the Role

• Other opportunities: Monday–Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings, including relief work.
• Potential hours: Up to approximately 13–15+ hours teaching kids per week for the right person, with the possibility to additionally teach adults later, as well as admin or reception work.

We prefer to start new staff with one shift while they learn our teaching methods and demonstrate their suitability. As you gain experience and demonstrate that you can confidently and reliably plan and deliver our classes, additional shifts may become available.

For the right person, there is the potential to progress to a regular position covering all our children’s class shifts and more. This will depend on your performance, reliability, teaching ability and the needs of the centre.

Applicants without martial arts experience may also be considered if they demonstrate the right personality, attitude and willingness to learn. You would however be asked to study and practice our instructor training videos before commencing practical training.
