SKILLZ Kickboxing & Fitness – Victoria, BC

SKILLZ Kickboxing & Fitness is looking for an experienced, energetic and dependable Martial Arts & Kickboxing Coach capable of coaching both our Kids Martial Arts and Adult Fitness Kickboxing programs.

This is a hands-on coaching position for someone who understands that great coaching is about more than technique. We are a people-first business focused on creating an exceptional member experience through great coaching, personal connection, support and results.

What You’ll Do

- Coach structured Kids Martial Arts classes in a positive, high-energy environment
- Coach Adult Fitness Kickboxing classes using heavy bags, combinations and conditioning
- Teach proper striking technique, movement and fundamentals safely
- Adapt your coaching style for different ages, abilities and fitness levels
- Keep classes organized, energetic and engaging
- Learn and follow established SKILLZ curriculum and coaching systems
- Build relationships with members, children and parents
- Help new members feel comfortable and supported
- Maintain a safe, clean and professional training environment

What We’re Looking For Martial arts experience is required.

Ideal candidates will have experience in one or more of the following:

- Kickboxing
- Muay Thai
- Taekwondo
- Karate
- Boxing
- Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or other recognized martial arts

The Person We Want

We can teach you our class formats and systems.

What is much harder to teach is personality, leadership, reliability and the ability to connect with people.

We want someone who notices the new member standing nervously at the back of the room. Someone who knows how to get a shy child participating. Someone who remembers names, celebrates progress and understands that the way people feel when they leave the studio is just as significant as the workout they completed.
