-- Posted by rapsody at 6:21 am on Sep. 4, 2008 I just want to ask, how well payed are martial arts instructors. I heard that they are paid a lot from schools and stuff, I just want to know how much. I'm interested in teaching martial arts myself. I'm currently taking Aikido classes in college. -- Posted by sile at 6:26 am on Sep. 4, 2008 I get paid 20 euro per hour and half but it doesn't add up to much unless you teach permanently, as in from 1-8pm like a lot of full time clubs and even then you won't be rich. It's more a great way to make some money while being able to train. So i wouldn't recommend it unless you love martial arts and want to train as much as you can.
