Yep, you’re right…and it’s great when you take a beginner all the way through to a Black Belt; the frustration is seeing some one with promise that gives up…and there was too much of that going on! 😂

Yes, it’s great when it’s working. I taught in UK professionally for about 4 years. It was enjoyable, but I didn’t fancy doing it for any length of time. It can be quite monotonous and teaching the endless beginners courses got to be a chore. Still, a great experience.

The trouble is, by the time you rent premises, pay accountants, tax, work permits etc…you’ll find that you may be forking out money rather than gaining any.

It was bad enough teaching in UK!😂

I toyed with the idea of opening a Shotokan Dojo a few years ago here in Samui; but it was just impractical and costly for not a lot of return.

I think there has been some TKD clubs here in the past, there certainly was one in Nathon; not sure if it’s still there. It maybe worth a look to see what the set up is like.

You could start your own dojo, but it wouldn’t be worth the time, effort, paperwork or money.

I’m not sure how popular it is here.
