Martial Arts Industry Outlook

The outlook for martial art instructors is “fair” in Alberta. According to the most recent statistics, approximately 13,250 people work in this occupation in Alberta, and the average wage is $19.00/hr. While some positions will become available due to retirements, most new positions will come from employment growth. High employee turnover in this occupation could lead to additional employment opportunities.

Job growth for these occupations is closely tied to changes in public health restrictions meant to limit the spread of COVID-19. The full re-opening of facilities will lead to increased employment opportunities.

The sectors with the highest concentration of martial art instructors are arts, entertainment, and recreation, followed by other schools and instruction and local, municipal, regional, aboriginal, and other public administration.

The majority of martial arts instructors are full-time workers. However, 40% work all year, while 60% work only part of the year. Finally, 16% of martial arts instructors are self-employed.

Skills to be a Successful Martial Arts Instructor

A successful martial arts instructor possesses various skills, including providing excellent service and care, operating and repairing equipment and machinery, communicating effectively, and handling information responsibly.
