What do I need to do to start a kickboxing class?
May 10th, 2010 | by admin |I would like to start teaching a kickboxing class for cardio. What legal steps do I need to take to do this without getting into trouble. I am not certified, but have many years of experience. It would just be a small class with mostly friends but I know that they will want to bring friends and so on and it will get bigger and I want to do things right so that I don’t have to worry about it in a legal sense if it does grow.
It depends on where you will hold the class at.
For example:
If you hold it at a local gym, they will usually have the insurance and what not covered. They will hire you based on an evaluation of you.
If you open your own school, there are a myriad of legal issues you have to consider such as, licensing, business permits, insurance, safety/cpr/first aid training.
If you open it in your house/garage, you are putting yourself and personal property at risk against lawsuits. Again, you will have to register a business liscense, get insurance, etc…
I teach ONLY CLOSE friends currently in a mini-gym I built in my garage. Its not really a class though, only friends practicing together. I do have my own business, but am not insured, hence I don’t teach.
Hope this helps.
