Jujitsu club in a hired hall

Parents of children and teenagers, plus adults looking for self-defence, fitness or a hobby.

Monthly membership or pay-per-class fees, plus charges for gradings, belts and club kit. Income grows as you add classes and keep members coming back.

• Recognised jujitsu grade and teaching experience
• Patient, clear coaching for all ages
• Organising classes and keeping records
• Safeguarding awareness

• Public liability and professional indemnity insurance, often available through a governing body
• Enhanced DBS check, a safeguarding policy and a named welfare officer if you teach children
• Hall hire terms: check insurance requirements, mat storage and notice periods
• Injury risk: keep accident records, a first aid kit and parental consent forms
• Check whether you need to register for Self Assessment as a sole trader, and whether the club should be run as a not-for-profit

Estimates are typically around £800 to £3,500, depending on mats, insurance, hall hire and equipment. Check whether the venue provides mats or whether you need your own, and what storage arrangements apply.

Monthly revenue estimates are typically around £300 to £2,500, depending on class numbers, fees and how many sessions you run. Hours start at about 6 a week, so it often suits part-time instructors.

Check public liability and professional indemnity insurance, often available through a governing body. If you teach children, check enhanced DBS, a safeguarding policy and a named welfare officer. Also check hall hire terms and whether you need Self Assessment as a sole trader.
