RYU KAI SENSEI JOB DESCRIPTION

Ryu-Kai Martial Arts opened in 2022 in the heart of Notting Hill and already has more than 300 students, therefore we are already looking to expand in the most prestigious areas of London. At our Dojo, we honour the traditions and values inherent to Japanese Martial Arts through its first-rate kickboxing classes. This is an innovative project based on Senseis Nicolas’ & Julien’s 15 years of experience, and expertise in the Martial Arts industry. We are now looking to bring in a new candidate to become a Sensei to help Ryu-Kai develop and grow further - and to play a key role within our company.

• Create a positive, non-intimidating and safe environment for our students, all ages, genders and fitness levels alike
